    This is my first encounter with iracing. I recognized some of the names, is that because the racer copied the name or is it that person? Also I cant believe they are commentating a computer game!?! This must be top level stuff but still I am gobsmacked at the level of realism (sponsers commentary etc) Must be running some pretty souped up pc's

    Is that Leigh Diffey? (I didn't think he drove race cars though, so i'm probably wrong).

    Iracing uses people's real names from their credit cards ( you get the odd fake name but most are real). Yes some of the real life drivers are on Iracing, not all of them do the races a lot just do the hosted sesions, Shane Vangisbergan and Scott McLaughlin are a few regular Monday night Iracers when they not @ a V8 supercar race week end. The Monday night V8 supercars is sanctiond by V8 supercar and has it own section on the V8 supercar web site, some of the drivers have sponsorship deals too. The commentary team just got a new sponsor that pays for the new HD live streaming and one of the guys has a super dooper Net connection with an upload speed that dwarfs our best download speeds. That was the first test run of the new HD streaming and they had some minor glitches but should only get better and the youtube replay should be fine to watch on ya TV if you got Net connection for it.

    Worth taking a look at the replay if any of you missed the live race, congrats Mad for the win you had some pressure at the end there.

    Good thing Tim "not my" Faltusz doesn't race in the top split. They would have him gone after the first race.

    Thanks mate. Vail was so fast all race, definitely had a lot more pace at the end of both the stints than me. Over the moon with that though, it's great finishing a race knowing you couldn't have driven any better and that's how I felt after that one. I feel bad robbing Vail of his first win, but stoked to win myself.

    Yer you could see he wanted that first win bad and wasn't making any mistakes. All in all the entire race throughout the field was great to watch. welldone a gain a few good wins this season and bring on Spa, did a test run last night and feel the track seem so much faster and grippy this build, you getting that?

    After watching the Grand Am with the new overlays it is sure to be a hit. Our Nathan was in the Maclaren and was doing ok until a spot of bad luck.
    Speaking of bad luck, i'm hoping for a good result tomorrow after tonights race. (Spun the tyres over the crest and crashed whilst in second place a second off the leader).

    They sure do look good, was talking to Jay last night and they will be announcing the new look and tech stuff tonight over Qual (7:45). keep an eye out for our guys in Qual, and look for team names in overlay.
    Bad luck in that spin Miki, you will do better tonight.
