i think Im going to be running at a minimum the Touring and Big Bore races. Probably in a T2 Mustang and TCR Audi respectively. Although that crazy Caddy WC car is fun as hell for the Bir Bore group. If the timing works out I'll hit the MX-5 Cup as well.

PS: Stay tuned for some possible surprised regarding some GRM-themed iRacing skins, or so I hear...

We can have the MX-5 waiting on grid for you, warmed-up and ready to go.

If last weekend's events are any indication, we're looking at full grids plus side events.

Yeah last weekend you had to sit there refreshing your computer waiting for the event to pop up as soon as it was created in order to get a spot.

Here we see the bravest man in vitual racing, standing directly in front of a Mustang. The Mustang must be distracted, eyeing the potential carnage of packed stands.

I am watching broadcast quality coverage of what amounts to a video game and this feels weird

During the Miata race my wife was at the table doing some school stuff and I had the race on the big screen. I winced during a replay of a particularly bad smack, and when she looked up I said "I know that guy."

"Do you think he's going to be okay?" was her response.

Yeah, honey. He's fine. Might have knocked over his Cheez Its in frustration, but I think he'll walk again.
