Still a great points haul and good for the championship standings. Into the final race of the night and se...

Australian Turbo Touring Car IRacing Series Round 5 headed to Brands Hatch, a great little layout for the TCR Audi's. Race 1 and it was close tight racing all night and battles galore. Rhys was at in again, his aim - "I wanted to stick with the top guys". Rhys was finding it hard to find a way past Michael Yip. A pressure mistake and he went off.

The iRacing Bathurst 12 Hour has been run and the team and drivers couldn't be happier with the result. Entering one car this race and the team decided to bring the old trusty Mercedes-AMG GT3. Last years setup created a great base to start from and found only minor tweaks were needed to be up to speed and forgiving around the concrete walls. Starting the race out from 53rd position, Josh made quick work of the cars in front of him and picking off each driver as the sun came up and things be...

This resulted in the first pole position for the #54 in OEC. Tim lead the field for the start, which ended up being quite a strange event to put it mildly. Ente...

My name is Brock and I have used almost every excuse you can think of not to jump online and race in a sport I love. Recently I committed to racing in the Oceanic Endurance Series as a way to force myself to get back behind the wheel after a bit of a hiatus. This post isn't going to be your usual race report post as I intend to talk about the stress of getting back behind the wheel in a multi-class endurance race after an extended time off. I hope you enjoy a this different look at what happens ...

Round 3 of the OSR - VRS / CPR V8 Development Series saw Trent Thomas returning to the V8 after a successful hit out last week.  Sebring International Raceway is a favourite track for the Fusion SimRacing driver and he was looking forward to the 18 lap race in his Amazon Web Services Ford Falcon FG V8.
