    Hey Everyone!
    So as i briefly mentioned in the Shoutbox; last weekend myself and a handful of others made the trip over to Sydney Motorsports Park to host the Virtual SimRacing Showdown for the second time; but more importantly after our inaugural event at Etihad Stadium; we had attracted the attention of the Confederation of Australian Motorsports.
    Therefore we were able to ramp proceedings up dramatically and the winner of the Showdown would walk away with a Test at a Venue of their choosing in an Australian Formula 4 Car. During the week we had multiple Formula 4; Aussie Racing Cars; Australian Production Cars and more Drivers come down and even try their hand at progressing their Career through SimRacing. Here is a little highlights clip from CAMS of what we got up to including some Words from myself with Greg Rust regarding the Importance of this event.
    Our next event will be announced very soon and i'd LOVE to see some ROOZers make their way down and see what they can do. Whilst we won't have an F4 drive up for grabs this time around; i can say big things are in the Pipeline and CAMS are pushing SimRacing harder and harder.
