Lateral-g I racing weekly league racing and smack talking session

[ironworks]

Well after being on this site for the past few years I have gained quite a few great friends from all over the country. I have also been doing some online racing on a site called Iracing.com. Well they now have a way were you can host a race and have a password to enter. So I have been talking to some people about just having a regular league racing night maybe once a week. So here we go.

Now to do this your would have to be a member of Iracing, which is 12.95 a month. Tell them I sent you. [email protected]. You will need a steering wheel and break pedal setup. Logitech G25 or G27 would good units to get used off ebay. And a gaming style headset to be able to chime in and Talk. Or in some cases smack talk. If 60 people show up to race they will post 60 cars on the grid.

I'm thinking about racing the FR500 mustang at Lime rock and Laguna Seca for the first few weeks. I will sponsor the money to host the race, 3 whole dollars . The winner each week can brag online.

This is to have fun with the great friends we have all met on this site. Sure it is still about the win, but don't worry if you you lack talent. Shoot I think you can sign up and just spectate if you wanted.

SO who is in.

Here is a practice lap from Road Atlanta in the Mustang.

Wow, that looks really cool. I have been waiting for GT5 to come out to have an excuse to get a G37 wheel, maybe I'll have to reconsider getting one sooner.

It is alot of fun. I have been racing for almost 2 years. You can go in at 9pm and race in a 30 lap race with guys from all over the world. This is not a video game, there no cheesy nitrous or short cuts. You have to fine tune your set up which can be complex and adjust the car for different surfaces and tracks. The mustang is pretty simple. There are ton of tracks and cars for beginner to very advanced. The C6r Is one of my favorite, but man is that thing a handful.

I figure this would be more fun for just the hangin out aspect then the who really gets first place. But there are some guys on this site that are pretty fast on there.

This is way better the GT5. You actually have to get the set up right to really be able to keep up with the fast guys. Plus the side by side action is really fun.

This looks like it's up my alley, I have friends that do the online NASCAR deal, but I have never been a fan. I'll check it out and start looking for a wheel.

I'm gone for a week so will get that when I get back. Then it will be:

GENTLEMEN! START YOUR ENGINES!

EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
