This race couldn’t really have been more dissapointing… I joined without a qualifying time and started 12th out of twelve cars, I was also iRated in 12th and noticed pretty quickly that the person rated #1 was Dale Earnhardt Jr….

So, I lined up for the race and as the pace car pulled in I was ready to have a good race… It was going well and I was in 10th-place on lap four when – suddenly – I was disconnected as an incoming telephone called seemed to disconnect me.

Unfortunately for the person in 12th when I disconnected, I continued to be visible to them while they were invisible to me! Unknown to me I was involved in an incident with a car I couldn’t even see…

So, the best bit of the race wound up being when I was lapped by Dale Earnhardt Jr, who won his 20th iRacing Oval race from 58 starts!

I rejoined the server after my disconnection and put some laps in… Why? It’s always best to do this, because you can run clean laps with no pressure and increase your Safety Rating. I finished 11th and had no incidents apart from the one already mentioned. My fastest lap was a 22.788 on lap nine.

    [..YouTube..] This stuff is sooo cool. Wish they made it for like xbox 360.. not everyone has badass computers. Love the Short Tracks like Oxford Plains Speedway (been there). I would deff pay up to $100 for that game if it was for 360.

  8. Bundashit says:

    [..YouTube..] lol Its not a game. Its the most advanced open to public motorsport simulation ever. You guys should join, Dale Jr and others are always on the forums chatting with us. If your lucky you will race him. Half of membership are real world racers.

  9. [..YouTube..] You cheated Tim, you made all the cars disappear LOL You used that 7 key didn’t you :D

    [..YouTube..] @Bundashit so just because dale jr uses it makes it great?

    i want sombody elses word not some guy who hasint won a cup race in 2 years
    and you WILL NEVER OWN THIS Your Just Renting it

  11. TimWRacing says:

    [..YouTube..] @99boyz But he didn’t say that, you said that. He said it was good all by himself, the connection between Jr and him saying it was good was made by you. Try reading it again.

    By the way, all your DVDs and games you ‘own’ are the property of the studio who made them. If you like I can send you a DVD with an exe on it. It won’t work, but at least you would own a data disc. And tell me this… Can you name an MMO-style piece of software which the users own?

  12. 99boyz says:

    [..YouTube..] they cant stop you from playing a game you own lol

    i still have games from 1999 that work

    so whats your point?

    and every game i own is on my shelf

  13. TimWRacing says:

    [..YouTube..] @99boyz MMO type releases (like iRacing is) can. Their server dies, so does your game.

    How many of those games on your shelf are MMO type releases, like iRacing is?

  14. CoolbreezekF says:

    [..YouTube..] Lol that view would be good if you weren’t sitting in the back seat.

About the Car
Chevrolet Monte-Carlo SS


Fantastic fun to drive. I love this car. I've said a few times it is my favorite oval car in the iRacing service and it really has yet to be beaten. You can drive with a variety of styles and still keep it on-track. You can brake deep into the turns and get on the gas very early. If you have quick hands you can catch just about any potential spin and that really makes it fun.

Fanatec Wheels, Pedals & Accessories

While many may think the Logitech G25 or G27 to be the best wheel and value for money of anything on the market, I beg to differ. I used wheels from many manufacturers during my time at iRacing - including wheels which sell for four-figures - and although some may feel of sturdier construction, that same construction usually led to long-term problems with the equipment that for me made the price inappropriate. Fanatec are recommended by me for a reason, I use their stuff and I trust their stuff. The Clubsport aluminum pedals (pictured above) and the best pedals I have ever used. 09/2008 911 Turbo Wheel Review | Visit Fanatec.de.

Obutto oZone Configurable Cockpit - $329 as of 07/2010


Without a doubt the best value for money cockpit you will find. Where other manufacturers may charge four figures for a simple cockpit, Obutto deliver a tidy and solid frame for a fraction of that. The obutto oZone cockpit can be configured in many different ways and extra items such as the Triple Monitor mount, Acrylic Tabletop, and the Flight Stick mount can be purchased seperately. 01/2009 Cockpit Review | Visit obutto.com.
