Really hoping we can all leave this X mess behind soon. I'm giving ๐ฆโ๏ธ a try if anyone wants to join me
Having a lot of fun being competitive in rally again. The Kiwi Sim Racing league on AC Rally has a great format going.

Excited for the new New Zealand iRacing Championship. And excited to have my writing in a "real" motorsport publication once again ๐

Correlation doesn't equal causation but Motorsport NZ putting out an announcement about handing their esports pass over to Motorsport Australia only after I criticized them in Hectic News sure feels like my "journalism" had an impact ๐

iRacing laser scanned Pukekohe race track before it's closure, some 4 years ago, but there's been no news since. Now some fans are trying to gather support to push iRacing to release the track
I'd certainly love to be able to drive it again

I've long wanted to reward great racers without encouraging "win at all costs" mentality like 1st place prizes do. This is my attempt with the GT7 NZ Championship. Hopefully we'll have some great hectic moments to celebrate over the next 6 weeks ๐๏ธ ๐ฅ
