Any more cars or classes? I also brush over some of the faults people are talking about even with the minor updates that do spill out from time to time. Where's the love for Dirt Road iRacing? Our Discord is open!

Greg Hill, Executive Producer at iRacing, recently published a sneak preview of some of the developments his team have been working on. The new weather system is all but confirmed for the December update, along with new/refreshed tracks and a brand new GT3 car. More broadly, the graphics team have received a shot in the arm with some new staff to boost their capabilities, and the team handling protests have new tools at their disposal. Taylor and Michael discuss all these changes and more and what they might mean for the player experience.Our Discord is open!

In this episode we reflect on the Bathurst 12hr and what it takes to do an endurance race. From tackling the mountain in the pitch black darkness in qualifying, dealing with the pressure of 49 other cars doing the same thing around you on the first lap still in the dark and that feeling you get when your team crosses the  line after 12hrs, whether its in first or 31st (unfortunately that was us!).Make sure you listen to the very end of the show as we have some HUGE news to announce for you guys and gals!! Discount Code: meatballVisit: www.simrigs.comOur Discord is open!
