2010 iRacing.com 120 Minutes of Sebring

March 9th, 2010

I made another really quick promo video today. Had no time to do it really so just put something together quick which gave all vital info and the promotion code. If you happen to come here when the promo code has been shut off, see the banner on this page for a permanent promo code [...]

iRacing Track Comparison: Circuit Park Zandvoort

March 2nd, 2010

I made another side by side comparison between real life and iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations today with a lap around Circuit Park Zandvoort.
It was quite difficult to find an onboard lap on Youtube that I could use and after contacting the poster (who turned out to be the rights holder – woohoo) of a lap in [...]

2010S1 Week 4 – Skip Barber Race Series – Lime Rock – 8th Place

March 1st, 2010

This weeks racing really was quite a test of patience. I ran twice in the final two time slots of the week and in both had problems that were hard to come back from. I knew I was very capable of doing 58 second laps around Lime Rock Park, so I ran a basic qualifying [...]

Fish I’ve kept: Tiger Barbs

February 26th, 2010

This page lists my experiences with Tiger Barbs. While some of the fish-related Web sites you may find may give you the scientific information, very few of them probably tell you the information in this post. I should point out however that these are my personal experiences, your mileage may vary, not least because Tiger [...]

2010 Special Event – iRacing Daytona 500 – 14th Place

February 22nd, 2010

This race is a tale of what might have been: The evening before the iRacing Daytona 500 I changed my PCs motherboard is preparation for a graphics card upgrade and unfortunately although I reinstalled Windows 7, reinstalled a bunch of programs, got iRacing working, etc, I forgot to do something terribly important…
On Saturday 13th February, [...]

2010S1 Week 3 – Skip Barber Race Series – Summit – 4th Place

February 22nd, 2010

This was a fun race. I basically just wanted to try to squeeze a Skippy race into what looked like a busy weekend, so shortly before running the iRacing Daytona 500 I joined this event having had no time to qualify or practice.
I like the track, so missing qualifying wasn’t that big of a deal [...]

Moving House With Fish

February 13th, 2010

So it has been about four months since my wife and I moved 1000 miles across the United States with our fish: What did I learn? Well, basically fish are extremely resilient and honestly should not have a great problem moving! Written below is the long version of the story of our move with the [...]

2010S1 Week 2 – NASCAR Class D – Oxford Plains – 2nd Place

February 11th, 2010

Really wasn’t looking forward to this one. I had quite a bit of trouble finding a way to be consistent around this tricky oval this week and didn’t think I’d do very well in a race, but when it came down to it I think I performed really well and with some quick steering avoided [...]

2010S1 Week 2 – Skip Barber Race Series – VIR – 3rd Place

February 11th, 2010

This race contained one hell of a comeback drive. Two spins to avoid car contact on lap one put me firmly at the back and to drive up to third? Awesome.
I put in a qualifying time of 2:12.597 the previous day and felt pretty well tuned with the Skip Barber Formula 2000 around VIRginia International [...]

2010S1 Week 1 – Skip Barber Race Series – Infineon – 3rd Place

February 10th, 2010

I came very close to not getting in a race during Week 1 of 2010 Season 1. I wound up joining the very last race session of the week, just 45 minutes before the series moved on to Virginia International Raceway for Week 2. I’m very glad I joined. I had a really enjoyable race, [...]
