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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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).

For myself and I’m sure most others, when starting [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
