I sucked at Lemons iRacing
/

comments
Last night, I took to the wheel of a 2010 Mazda MX-5 Roadster. My livery was prepped. The Logitech G920 wheel and pedal set were on and responding. And my computer was running smoothly. In short, I was ready for virtual Class C Lemons glory. That did not happen, and I’m clearly bad at this.…

All in-real-life forms of racing are postponed until further notice. This is due to the small matter of a massive global pandemic that’s impacting everyone right now. An increasing amount of real racing organizers are turning to the digital world to get their fix. NASCAR, Formula 1, IMSA, IndyCar, and others are filling their time…

Super Stadium Trucks look awesome from a bumper cam

comments
You’re well aware that the Super Stadium Trucks racing series is one of the most entertaining bits of motorsport on the planet. You take a tube frame chassis. Give it a 650-horsepower LS3 V8 engine and tons of suspension travel. And keep the weight to half that of a larger Trophy Truck. Then instead of racing…

I’m Going to Dive Into iRacing Now

comments
The funny thing here is that I actually had a set of pedals and a wheel from Fanatec. That was years ago though. The set is gone and tech has improved since then anyway. Why do I care now though, you ask? Because the global pandemic has inspired more people to try out sim racing…

Hooniverse Lada Lemons Racer: Restarting a Stalled Project
/
/
comments
The Lada showed at my friend’s now closed shop on an open car carrier a few years ago. It didn’t look like anything else; it was a tiny shell of a red car, on small wheels, with a golden roll cage inside. Dusty, banged up and beat up, it was a proper Lemons racer. I…

Bummed that there’s no Sebring this weekend? Watch us run the Dinner With Racers “Pooper Sebring” instead!

Everything is cancelled in motorsports for the next few months so the racing community has turned to the sims to get their fix. Today in particular was supposed to be the 12 Hours of Sebring until that got pushed back to November. Fortunately, there’s no global pandemic in iRacing so the lads behind the Dinner…

iRacing 12 Hours of Sebring Race Report: Our Best Race Yet
/
/
comments
The iRacing 12 Hours of Sebring is a special one for our team. Last year’s event was the first iRacing enduro that we ran together with the original crew, so this year’s race was sort of an anniversary for us. But whereas last year we were riddled with issues that impacted our finishing order, this…

comments
This past week has been the longest year ever. With COVID-19 cancelling pretty much anything fun for the next month at least, there’s only one place where racing is safe from it – the sims. My friends at TURN Racing Sim Tools eSports and myself have been prepping for one of the biggest iRacing special…

There is a Hyundai Accent race series in Australia and it’s glorious
/
/
comments
Never mind Formula 1. Those who want to see really good racing turn to IMSA or some kind of spec racing series. It is where teams seem to be most even, vehicles are built to a tight spec, and at least most of the racing is dependent on driver skill. The most common spec race…

American Flat Track: My day on the dust
/
/
comments
Flat track racing is nothing new in America, in fact, the sport is one of our country’s oldest motorsports. However, I’m willing to bet most Americans, even those who are motorcycle enthusiasts, aren’t familiar with the sport. American Flat Track (AFT) invited me and a few other journalists out to experience AFT for ourselves. We…
