Audi drivers thrilled with new car
Audi's drivers hailed the performance and driving ease of the new R18 TDI at Le Mans after it emerged quickest from yesterday's pre-race test day. Tom Kristensen and Mike Rockenfeller gave Audi a one-two in the test, although Stephane Sarrazin was within 0.2 seconds in the best of the Peugeots. Although Audi has completed extensive testing elsewhere with its new closed-top car, this was its first run at the home of the race it has been primarily designed for.

Chasing the Elusive New Transit Rider, Missing the Bus?

Nieminen Notches Another
Round Five of the iRacing.com World Championship Series Road Racing (iWCSRR) paid a visit to the twisty and dusty turns of the Infineon Raceway, where Jesse Nieminen jumped his way to the front of the pack to claim his third victory of the season. The My3id Team sim-racer started from the second row of the grid in fourth position, and by the time the first round of pit-stops arrived, Nieminen was up to third position, after capitalising on an error by Ilkka Haapala. This is when the Finn launched his Williams-Toyota FW31 into the lead, as a hair-raisingly fast entry to pit lane and subsequent high-speed service brought him out alongside erstwhile leader Luca Masier and ahead of Greger Huttu, who’d over-shot his pit box. ?Everyone pitted on the same [...]

Alfalla Shines Under the Lights of Richmond
Ray Alfalla collected his second NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship victory of the season last night, holding-off Josh Parker over several late-race restarts at Richmond International Raceway. Alfalla led the field for most of the evening, with the JDR Graphics Chevy setting pace for a race high 146 of 200 laps. The online race was slowed by the yellow flag 19 times, nearly as many as the Martinsville race earlier this season, placing a premium on smart pit strategy and good short run calls. The night got underway with Brad Davies leading the field to the green flag with Alfalla to his outside. It only took Alfalla ten laps to grab the top spot, which he would only relinquish on pit road. As the night got progressed it became apparent [...]
