Carpenter leads first practice day

Ed Carpenter and Sarah Fisher Racing marked their first IndyCar appearances of the season with the quickest time on the opening day of fully-fledged practice for the Indianapolis 500 on Saturday. The six-hour session was interrupted by rain showers, and was for many teams little more than a shakedown.

Because Susan Boyle Was Unavailable: Lotus Sponsors ?Anthems? Tour

When considering the Lotus of yore, plenty of important British musical groups could be considered as analogues to its innovative, stripped-down, catch-as-catch-can designs. Wire and the Buzzcocks immediately come to mind. On the other hand, a musical-theatre star who?s crossed over to the pop charts with help from Queen guitarist Brian May does not ring [...]

Magnussen wins again in race three

Kevin Magnussen scored his second British Formula 3 victory of the weekend at Snetterton this afternoon. The Carlin driver, who won race one, trailed poleman and team-mate Felipe Nasr at the start. Before Magnussen had a chance to attack, a startline clash between Will Buller's Fortec machine and the Sino Vision car of Hywel Lloyd sent Buller into the barriers and brought out the safety car.

Lengert Scores First ITZR Truck Series Triumph

The In The Zone Racing Truck Series began its final run to the championship last Thursday night with online race number nine in the 14 race inaugural season.  iRacing.com’s version of the New Hampshire Motor Speedway proved to be tricky to navigate for the 26 sim racers on hand. Canadian driver Dustin Lengert was fastest overall in the final practice session, and continued his dominance into qualifying where he set fast time ahead of Brad Wright of North Carolina. Many drivers struggled to find grip early, and the race was slowed by cautions several times in the first half of the race. The first yellow flew for a Lap One incident that sent Tyler Burgress into the inside wall just past the start-finish line. Burgress was unable to continue and [...]

Stoops Shines, Green Grins at Monster Mile

The NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series (NiCCS) drivers made their way to Delaware for Round Two of the twelve week 2011 Season Two. Dover International Speedway was the setting for seven days of grueling online truck racing and with nearly 1800 teams taking a green flag over the full week of action it made for some big headlines for some sim racers and heartbreak for others. When the virtual dust settled on the concrete high banks, it was Tanner Stoops standing tall among his peers as the winner of Week Two in the NiCCS. Stoops ran one race and finished third in the event which was the first of the second week of the season. Tyler Hudson and Joshua Laughton placed ahead of Stoops in the 110-lap affair but the [...]
