What a Race at Barber Motorsports Park, Quite Possibly My Best Race Yet!



Hi all,

Just a quickie as I wanted to share lasts night race at barber motorsport, unfortunately iRacing have totally screwed up the radical SR10 that we have been racing for a couple of seasons so we have reverted back to the trusty ol' SR8 which is an absolute joy to drive.

This season we are doing a 2 race format, race 1 is a sprint then the top 10 finishing positions get reversed for race 2, race 1 was going well but an incident dropped me down the pack but I managed to fight back to 10th to start race 2 on pole, all I had to do was hold that position for 17 laps

Please find the race below, if you do just want to watch race 2 it starts at around 48 minutes, enjoy, I certainly did although I was very sweaty by the end of lap 17.

iLounge Nascar iRacing League Starting January 9th, Please Feel Free To Join The Fun!



Hi All,

So I am excited to say that iLounge Racing along with JP Broadcasting will be starting our own Nascar League starting on January 9th with all races broadcast live on YouTube with full commentary.

Now this is something I had been wanting to do for around a year or so now so I am so pleased that we have finally got it off the ground.

For me Oval racing is the purest form of racing there is but it is a very different discipline to what we are used to for F1 and Road Racing but one thing if for sure as a spectacle it is always exciting.

iRacing does Nascar extremely well with a lot of the real Nascar drivers using it for practice. We will be running the latest Generation Nascars on iRacing, races will be 1 hour long and it will be a 2 month championship with Bi-Weekly Tuesday night races that start at 9pm.

The first season will be free to enter, basically I'll cover the costs to see if we can make it work then for Season 2 we will ask for contributions to help towards costs.

Please find the calendar below, I have tried to make it a varied calendar of different types of tracks from Super Speedways to Short track to give everyone a taste of what Nascar is like -



It will be great if we can get some 20+ grid numbers for the first season but I am fully aware this is a bit of any experiment and if you don't have a sim setup then why not tune in to YouTube to watch the fun, link below to JP Broadcasting website and YouTube page below -

Cheers, let the fun begin.

Our 2023 Race Car Highlights, Goodwood, Brands Hatch & Silverstone Fun!



Hi Everyone,

Just a quick break from HiFi as I thought it would be fun to look back at 2023 and cobble together a quick highlights reel of some of the car action we’ve had this year, been a brilliant year of driving our 2012 Jeff Gordon Nascar up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed which is a real honour, then chasing a Nascar round Brands Hatch in our 1964 Lotus Cortina at the Ford Festival, surely that has to be a world’s first, then finally getting to race our 1961 Lotus Formula Junior at the Silverstone Festival after a years restoration + a special mention has to be made to where Jim Clark’s Lotus 25 overtook me at Silverstone in a practice session which is in this video, that really was the highlight of the year for me as such a beautiful car that was driven by arguably the world’s best F1 driver, I couldn’t believe it when I saw it coming up in my mirrors, that is at 3 mins on the video.

Looking forward to what adventures 2024 has in store for us.

Happy New Year,

Cheers,

Hi All,

So we started our iRacing Nascar league earlier this year as a bit of an experiment and it turns out that trying to get Europeans to turn left isn’t as easy as it sounds but we are now 5 races in and we are now having some great racing, please find a link to last night's race at Talladega where there was not a yellow to be seen, I even had a good race.

Season 2 will be starting in a couple of weeks were we will be racing trucks so please feel free to join us 👍
