Racing Prodigy joins Street Kart Racing to kick off the PRL SK Racing X30 Miami Cup on July 1st, it’s first event.
As the Prodigy Racing League gains momentum, it is set to reshape the future of motorsports and inspire countless individuals to pursue their passion for racing.
For a little over a year now, Ross Bentley from Speed Secrets been helping sim racers with my Sim Racer Academy membership program.
John Allen is a Spec Miata and, in 2018, a Spec MX-5 Challenge pro driver. In Spec MX-5, he has been on pole twice in six races, demonstrating the skills he built on iRacing. He got his start in simulators and his quick transition from sims to the front of the pack in road racing caught our attention. This is a scenario we’ve seen before (e.g. with Mark Drennan and Glenn McGee), so we interviewed John to get his thoughts on making the transition from sims to “real” cars.
We talk to lots of drivers who have an interest in track activities. But they often are slightly confused about how to get started. On one level, we say “just do something” because getting experience and getting in the habit of doing track activities is how you get comfortable and begin to develop some skill. That isn’t sufficient, though…
We talk to many people who want to do something in motorsports, or think they do, and yet many of them admit they are somewhat unclear about how to get started. That’s understandable, so we’ve put together a few guidelines which may be helpful.
Over the past 20 years, consumer simulators have transitioned from mainly gaming devices to serious tools for racers. In this week’s survey, we want to know about you simulator, its usage and what you would do to improve it.
A few issues ago in Speed Secrets Weekly, Ryan Hieronymus talked about the value of iRacing and Playstation type simulators for drivers and how these affordable devices can help drivers practice and program their brains to new tracks and behaviors. What about us, the engineers? What can we use to hone our craft when we’re not at the track? Simulators, but with a twist. And a much bigger price tag.
