Safety Fast!

Motor racing and accidents are rather synonymous. In fact some motor racing television series and DVDs are dedicated to motor racing crashes. When Martin Brundle was interviewed at the Autosport International show last month and received questions from the audience, it was no surprise one of the topics was about his huge accident in Melbourne [...]

iRacing’s Corvette: Good Enough is Not Good Enough

We’ve gotten approval to build the Pratt & Miller Corvette C6.R GT1 car!  SWEEEEET!  OK, what’s first?  Hmmmm. Dyno sheets.  That’s the most important thing, right?  That beautiful sounding motor, deep and rumbling, with earth-moving torque and acceleration.  Now that sounds like fun!
Getting the power to the ground is next, so what gearbox does it [...]

My VW TDI Experience

November 16th was a warm, sunny, picture perfect fall day in Alton, Virginia – home to Virginia International Raceway – and as chance would have it, I was climbing into a Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup race car!  The flu had struck one of my colleagues at iRacing, and I was given his opportunity to test [...]

A Day with the Chief Steward

I’m sure there are a lot of you out there who wonder what it’s like in an average day of being Chief Steward for F.I.R.S.T. (Federation of Internet Racing and Sanctioning Trust).  I’ll try to explain what we do with protests, the process of investigating cases, and some of our philosophies behind some of the [...]

Fundamental Questions

“Do you ever ask yourself fundamental questions?”  Years after taking a class with Dr Y,  one thing that sticks in my head is the memory of him posing that query in his distinctive Eastern European accent.  It’s a thought-provoking question, one that still guides me through life’s difficult problems
I’m not thinking of split-second decisions like [...]

Accuracy v. Precision or the Zen of iRacing

Long ago I was taught about the difference in accuracy and precision, but I’d never really applied it outside of scientific pursuits. But as an iRacer, I began to realize that the racing version of accuracy and precision is important in progressing from beyond a novice level.
For myself and I’m sure most others, when starting [...]

VW Jetta TDI Review

If there was an award for ‘Sim-Racing Car of the Year,’ then a hot contender for the prize would be iRacing’s latest addition to its stable, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI.  The car is a first on many fronts for the Boston-based development team.  The spec saloon is a mirror of the showroom specification vehicle; with [...]

Racing Factoids

Week 13, those seven days of never-land separating iRacing’s four official 12 week seasons, can be many things to many people.  For some it’s a chance to race for the sheer fun of it, with no season points races or championships at stake.   Test a new car on a new circuit?  Why not?  Road racers [...]

Test Drives: Chicagoland and New Hampshire; Summit Point and VIR Reversed

iRacing’s newest oval is Chicagoland Speedway, a 1.5-miler with 18 degrees of banking in the turns.  I took the Impala SS Class B for a spin there and was struck by how big and open the track felt.  The unusual curved backstretch means there is no definite exit point from Turn 2, just a gradually [...]
