World of Outlaws Late Model Series Returns

Fans of World of Outlaws late model action and iRacing, rejoice: the World of Outlaws ButtKicker Late Model Series makes its long-awaited return on Monday, July 25, for a 10-round dash for $25,000 in prizes. The culmination of iRacing’s dirt oval ladder for late model drivers, the series sees 35 of the world’s best sim racers go wheel-to-wheel at some of the premier dirt tracks in America, including many staples of the real-world World of Outlaws calendar. Each race will be broadcast live at 9PM ET across iRacing’s social media channels and DirtVision.

In total, $25,000 is on the line, with $10,000 the big prize for the series champion and each of the top 10 finishers in series standings receiving a payout. The top three finishers in each event also take home cash prizes, with $300 for each race winner, $200 for second place, and $100 for third.

The Series took the green flag this past Monday at Fairbury Speedway.

Results…

2020 series champion Hayden Cardwell broke a trend that had previously seen rookie and first-time winners kick off the series with victories by outdueling fellow series veteran Seay on the final lap in a photo finish to take the victory. 2019 champion Blake Matjoulis completed a veteran-heavy podium, with polesitter Damian Kiefer the top-finishing series rookie in fourth.

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open:

Ellis –   p wrecked out of 1 gwc on white – p19 – Led some laps and was running top 3 – under a caution i was checking my phone and forgot to pit and fucked myself

  • Rochette- P-once again The Chubby Angry Birb back squawking in victory Lane. Win #4 in the season and first since Atlanta in March week before my shoulder surgery. Was seriously debating race or watch the newly renamed LivePD. Glad Groves convinced me. Hung out top 3 most of the race. Was in lead for the gwc. Took off right at the start of the restart zone like a good boy and caught everyone sleeping
    •  Groves – P 2 didn’t Q, started 32, got spun and hit in the rear ¼, got up to 6th before green flag pit stop, back out in 16.  Caution comes out with 5 to go i cycle up to 3rd for the first gwc, 2nd attempt still 3rd but get a much better launch and the leader and I break away, I try to make my move in 1 but don’t hit the entry and tightened up, it was his from there.  Fun battle at the end  
  • Hall – p 6 was in position to do well on fuel strategy, but we had a caution with 20 to go, then 10 to go, and I struggled to hold on to 3rd on a short run and got moved buy a guy without major cost

Spiker – P30, I was wrecked into T1 early on.  Went a lap down then rode the back until I got the Lucky Dog.  With 25 to go, coming out of 1, down the strait, I shift into 3rd killing my motor.  1 hour 3 minutes of damage.  Nothing worse than creating your own problems with such a silly self error. 

Race :  Indy

  • Wed Open:
    • Ellis – p8 – started p13 by end of lap 1 was p7, spun once by myself, had a guy dive bomb me and tag me, he eventually apologized. Race went way better than expected top 10 hell yeah
    • Kyle P – p9 started p19 got up to p5 but shortly lost it to newer tires. Half way I lost all talent and couldn’t keep it on the track for about 5 laps. Finally got focused and worked my way up to P9 2022 Working on my Road
    • Tony R – P on protest this till we get the Oval back 
    • Tyler – P15 – started from the pits to play it safe. Really stuggled as I was not able to be Consistent with the car at all. I would like to point out how fair the off-track limits were at this track. You could actually clip the curb and run off track a little bit without actually getting a 1X compared to a track like cota so well done iRacing
  • Thurs Open  

Ellis – p3! – Start at P 15 appears to be bottom split car number eight. Got to eight by about halfway through the 1st lap then worked my way up to 3rd before pits, after pits after it cycled ended back in third – great podium

Official Series

  • Kyle – P4 Started P4 and stayed up front. And just hung around the top 5. Brought home a solid P4.
  • Ellis – Skippys at Sonoma – Started p4 – quickly got to p2 then the leader checked out – held off 3rd and 4th until halfway, then he got besides me in the s’s and i got hit and spun, then another car piled in. Then i was 7th but fought back to finish p6
  •  
  • Start p12 – finish p10 – top split more than half the field above 6k. Got ran over by one guy down to 3 wheels to quick repair came out 12th got back to 10th.
  • F2000 – Mid Ohio
    • Started p6 got to p4 but some fast guy got me and fell to p5
    • Started p5 – was running p5 minding my own came up on a lapper who is way slow way offline i stay in line and as i come by, he comes into the groove suddenly and takes me out. Gelt intentional but who knows.
  • SPIKER
  • Nascar B Open, Indy Road – P5, Started P6.  Pretty uneventful for the most part.  On L2, I was hit in the rear in the end of the back straight braking zone.  I should have prepared better.  I was utilizing a curtain third party app which allowed me to see iRating and License class for the first time.  Directly behind me was a driver highlighted in red.  He booted me off the track in the braking zone.  I was able to avoid any contact with any barriers and continued on.  Worked my way back up the field to finish P5  


League / Hosted Races

  • FastTrack League –
    1. David – p 6, Pulled a real Mark Martin.  Was in a hard clean race with Jeff, completed the pass and then something in my head said that was checkered where there was still a lap left.    OOOF
    2. Joe – wrecked out
    3. Mike – p15 – got as high as 11th but creamed the wall real hard and faded.
  • Hosted – 
    1. Ellis  –  Chris MacGuire – Hosted – Saturday Night

  • Kirwin makes a big try in 3 and gets side by side white flag
  • Leahy trying to find a way around they get past one lined up
  • Final corner kirwin dive bombs it they get side by side and bang each other all the way to the checkers and KIRWIN wins it by a hair!

No Future in Grand Turismo?

In other forms of sim racing, top-tier drivers can earn a full-time living racing with a team. Take Keegan Leahy, who won last year’s eNASCAR championship on iRacing while driving for Danny Hamlin’s 23XI crew. Leahy held a Reddit AMA last November, where one fan asked him about his parents’ reaction when they learned he could turn sim racing into a career. Leahy’s response describes a scenario that doesn’t seem feasible in Gran Turismo:

It was a really slow build up because it really did happen quite slowly. The prize pools kept going up, sponsor interest picked up, teams started paying, etc. The only single “moment” I could think of would be when I quit the warehouse job I was doing during University, to do driver coaching and content creation with Virtual Racing School.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: New Hampshire

Ellis –   p22 – ran around the top 10 most of the night basically q laps every lap trying as hard as i can to keep what I got – final restart was p7 but got wrecked hard and finished p22.

  • Rochette-P7 I finally did it, a NiS top 10 since Kansas in May. Twice had cars wreck in front of me and tagged em got Damaged fixed. The 2nd tims i stayed in the pits alittle too long and exited after thinking i got clear but nope got flagged so had to do a pass through. When did the pass through caution came out feet before the pit line so had to do it again. Was down 3 laps but attrition got me back on lead For the final 10 to go
  •  
  • Stephen-wrecked out
  • Spiker – P18, Started P17.  Not fast at all.  During a re-start, I hit the car in front of me who checked up for the car in front of him.  I was turned into the T1 fence halfway through the race.  Ran most of the race underpowered finished P18 after surviving the last lap, front stretch mele. Finished the Race 16X
  • Saturday Fixed –
  • Sunday Open
  • Rochette-Psomething went to avoid a wreck into 1 hot the brakes little too hard and sent myself into the inside wall with the wheel wabble of death
  • Hall – p 30  caught in two early wrecks, suddenly have 14x, taking it mild and one dude dive bombs, then another dude gets loose, i’m up top 3 wide and a forth dude punts the bottom guy and destroys my car.  Not a good return
    •  
  • Sunday fixed 
  • Mike –p18 – Actually crossed the line 2nd but was backwards got my 17x so it put me 18th – 22 cautions – 
  • Stephen – p 3

Race :  Pocono

Wed Fixed

  • Wed Open:
    • Hall –p.7  almost got snubbed by pit strategy, but a lap car saved all the people to stay out on the first caution.
    • Ellis – p4 – at the initial start someone spun out and destroyed the field i got wiped out over 2 minutes damage – had to stay out for a wave around while others that pitted had to pit again for penalties. We ended up w a stop w 60 to go so did a gf stop w 30 to go which basically short pitted everyone – ended up p2 but faded back a bit before caution – restart p5 got to p2 but could not catch the leader and at the end faded back to fifth
    • Kyle P 
    • Tony R – P5 hell yea ran great all night was in 2nd on the leaders bumper coning to the white and slammed the wall out of 3. Man felt good to have a front runner car and not get wrecked by stupid stuff 
    • Tyler – P6 FINALLY A TOP 10! Glad to get a solid finish. Crazy start of the race when half the field got wiped out. I made it through the wreck but net coded with a 4x. Kept the car clean the rest of the night and settled in with a tight car. Late race caution after pit strategy shook things up but I defended well. Stoked to get a good run. Excited for Sunday Fixed. 
    • Tom D – P3 started in the back to get a handle on how these cars would be in a pack.  Was able to work my way up into the top 10 before lap 20.  Final stop with 20 to go I was able to get myself into 3rd. A few nice battles back and forth and I was able to bring the car home in 3rd.  I’ll take a top 5. 
    • Stephen – wrecked out before taking the green flag
    • Bobby -pP20, my fault on pit exit, but not bad after being off for like 5 months, ran near/in top 10 otherwise
  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p13 – Started 10th worked my way up to the lead, ran top 5 or so, took the lead at 23 to go kept it until about 14 to go and faded hard, hit the wall hard and faded more – 
    • Rochette P whats better than a 5th? How bout a 2nd great fun race was hoping for a long run at the end where i was gonna most likely win on fuel but noooo someone had to bring out a caution with 10 to go. Restarted 3rd chased the leader for about 5 laps but was just too tight at the end of it… first Podium since Kansas and 1st runner up since that faithful night with that dirty Bristol

David – p11.  I was really about a 20th car in the this top split, won the coin toss on fuel strategy

Official Series

  • SPIKER
    • Late Model Open Langley, P P10.  Just simply out matched.  I can’t speed in the car.
    • Late Model Fixed, P P11.  Same as the open, the Winner of the Race had a 9K+iR
    • Nascar B-Open, Pocono, P11, Started P13.  Had good long run speed.  GWC at the end killed my momentum.
    • Nascar B-Open, Pocon, P17, DNQ – Spun out after making late adjustments to my Q-Set.  As a result., started in the back where on lap 1, a backmarker doored me out of 1 sending me into the wall.  Again, good long speed run.  Gambled on staying out w/5 to go.  Backfired, P17

Mick Claridge World Tour

to iracerslounge

Hi guys ,
It was so cool to get a mention on your show but I gotta clear one thing up ???? I’m not a 15 time world champion on iRacing . I’m 15 time Grand Prix legends champion. Big big difference. I’m not a pro driver at any stretch of the imagination. Those pros in the WDC are different level.

Anyway.  Like I say it was great to get a mention about the ride and to whoever it was who said they’ll buy me a beer in Phoenix? Consider that a given. I never pass up a beer!

So the ride is progressing nicely and I’ve already met 10 or so iracers on my travels through Europe . I’m in turkey at the moment and heading east into Central Asia and the next guy to meet is in Singapore !

So thanks for mentioning the ride and if you guys would like to meet up just put your names down on my discord page and I’ll add you to the list . The list is getting pretty full now as I think I’ve got about 70 guys to meet..

Thanks again
Mick Claridge

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Atlanta

  • Ellis –   p8 – ran top 10 top 5 all night got shuffled a few times – ended up doing gf stop near end, was p5 and ended up 10th after cycles – not sure what went wrong.
  • Spiker – P19, Started P3 Ran up front and one point Kyle, Tom, and myself we were running 1-2-3.  During our first “long run”, the car became looser, I dropped to the end of our pack of five.  This was when a lapper decided bup draft down the back stretch sending me into the outside wall breaking my RF.  While waiting for repairs, the same lapper takes out Tom
  • Sunday Open
  • Tom D – p1.  After a bad race on Friday night that saw me get crashed out by a lapped down car racing too hard with the lead card, I was looking forward to Sunday with a pretty good hot rod under us.  I qualified 6th.  Ran in the top 3 most of not all the race.  Lead 51 laps.  Got the lead on the second to last restart.  Had to fight off a GWC to capture my 2nd NiS win of the season and my 20th overall NiS win. Very proud

  • Sunday fixed 
  • Mike –p2 – Had a good race stephen and I in control much it running 1-2 on the outside mostly – at one point i pushed him in the trioval and he turned off my nose – i felt so bad as we were definitely in position to win. I went on without him and quickly got the lead – final lap they ganged up on me 2nd went onto the apron really low and edged me out.
  • Stephen – p 6 – Mike wrecked me but w 5 to go came from 20th to 6th
  • Tyler – P 15 – Solid race, played it safe by staying in the back. Saved enough gas to make it on one stop but a few cautions at the end changed things up. Had a lot of fun watching Mike and Stephen in the front. Was reporting from the back to help them keep digging. Overall just glad to be back in the sim after a eventful time away.

Race :  New Hampshire

Wed Fixed 

  • Wed Open:
    • Hall –p.
    • Ellis – p24 – i was hot garbage out there – quick on short runs but junk on long runs – got as high as 11th but then fell like a rock through long runs….
    • Tyler – p26 self spun 2 times. Got caught on pit road twice as I was trying to repair. Then a black flag for passing a car that did not go on the outside line. I started on the inside??? Not a good race at all. Too many mistakes on my part and not enough talent. Gives thanks to Mike for helping me improve rolling through the center and work on balancing my craft. 
  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p Started fifth first 30 lap run and got the third faded to six during pitched ops I got turned completely around trying to get into my box and ended up at the back for the next start. You’re the middle part of the race I got up there around 10 where I lost it once but was able to regain my track position flip in a wreck but stayed out regardless of the damage with 39 to go running ten. 
    • We had a bunch of caution and running the five or three to go for the final restart. Then some guy ran over some guy and took out a half dozen cars including me I could not finish the race

Official Series

  • Ellis – f2000 – Sebring- Spun out on lot four didn’t hear anything but then somebody ran over me DNF
  • Started p6 – ended up spinning off again dnf
  • Start p3 – ended up p4 after spinning on my own, a car came by and took off my left front – did a tow and a quick fix and went back out was p6 got to p4 first finish! But 9x out of 11x
  • Started p5 got p4 – had a spirited battle trying get p3, i got him on the last lap as i passed it appears we hit so as i approached the checker i slowed and gave him back the spot… checked the replay and it was netcode.

  • SPIKER
    • Nascar B-Open, New Hampshire – P10, Started P9.  For me, it was a good run.  One caution around lap 20 which allowed us to race the final 60 laps incident free.  This was Top Split, I gained some iRating.  The winner of the Race was 6K+

Nascar B-Open, New Hampshire – P9, Started P8.  This race was unusually terrible for my time slots.  80 Laps Scheduled, We ran 90, and 48 were under caution.  I had a P6 on the radar when under caution, the driver behind me made an abrupt left turn, clipping my right rear, sending me into the fence.  Car survived the GWC.


League / Hosted Races

  • FastTrack League –
    1. Joe – 15
    2. Greg p 3

Mike – p12 – ran as high as p2 in the early parts but as the race wore on got tighter and tighter – hit the wall a few times lost all my track position

Atlanta Infield

Staff member Kevin Iannarelli posted on the forums that, “The infield road course at Atlanta was scanned during the scanning of the new Atlanta oval configuration. With the recent acquisition of our new laser scanner, collecting the data for the RC track took as little as an hour, it only made sense to spend the time to gather the data. Our old method of laser scanning would of added an additional day during the collection process.  Having the RC in the screenshot of the point cloud should give some insight of a future update to the infield road course.”

Cloud Slow Down?

Hello Boys,
Your Welsh correspondent here again.
Your Team Rookie mentioned that at the start of a session his connection was really laggy.  He felt it could be Trading Paints.  He should also check to see if he has OneDrive or other file Cloud services.  I found that after a session I was uploading huge zipped files of telemetry.
If I race I now pause synching and my connection stays green.
Regards,
Rowly.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Road America

  •  
  • Adam -p 
  • Hall – p 14,  had top 10 speed, but took the wrong brake marker in turn 1 again and lost 20 seconds in the grass.
  • Spiker – P17, Had a few off-tracks that lost me a handful of positions.  I got faster as the run went along. I started at an .17-.18 lap and finished running low .14’s. This was my third start in this car/series ever, I started to better understand braking in the corners with a quarter of the race to go
  • Sunday Open
  • Rochette-P-I suck spun it on lap 1 and got hit. Tried to drive but blew up about 10 laps later 

Hall – p 8 Top split,  very happy with this result, was in a three way fight for 6th, but the other two made less small mistakes than I did.  Overall enjoyed this car at Road America as long as my GTE muscle memory didn’t kick in on turn 1

Race :  Atlantadega

  • Hall –p. 5.  Absolutely nutty race.  First, right coming to green a car blinks and looks to have a hardware failure.  I get caught up in the carnage, and think I’m gonna have to stay out because of the early caution pace car bug.  However, even the leader has to stay behind the pace car so I think it didn’t happen.  I was wrong.  At 1 to go the whole field that didn’t pit including the leader got a wave by.  So I was trapped a lap down cause I fixed 40 seconds of damage with a bunch of other people.  Caution around 20 laps, I take wave by.  Leader is 6 seconds behind me at 50 laps, caution.  Back on Sequence.  Then just work my way up through passing and some luck evading crashes.  Final Restart driver in front of me spins tires, but makes a hugely helpful move and pulls down and I dodge right.  I managed to work around the outside up to 5th.
  • Ellis – p5 – Sketch City – very sketchy out there for sure – ran top 10 all night led some laps and near the end had the position of being the 1st car w tires. Had a guy turn off my nose twice, same guy, took out my teammate. Almost had enough to win it if i had just one more lap…
  • Kyle P Pwrecked out

Tony R – P19 got Scooby-Doo’d with 30 to go was doing ok just hanging out when a car wrecks and no where to go

  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p winner winner chicken dinner – ran really good just riding top 5 took the lead w about 35 to go and didnt give it up. Right up until the end we got a late caution i pitted with others while 7 stayed out – i was first on tires and got a few spots before another caution – then just had to bring it home!! 2nd win of the year, 82nd career win
    • Rochette P didn’t make it to lap 15 thought i had a wreck cleared when some asshole just came back up ob the track and killed my car. I cant catch a break. 
    • David – p29, taken out by and dumbass trying to pass on the apron.  He apologized but will be protested successfully,  iRacing needs to get the word out that passing under and coming up and dooring the guy running the inside line properly isn’t allowed.

Official Series

  • A Open
  • Ellis – Started p7, wrecked out big time by a blinker i went to the apron to get around he still slammed me.
  • Rochette- P7 somehow got pole from driving like i was lost. Spent most of the race trying to figure out Atlantadega. Drives so damn weird. Was 3rd with 3 to go and got wide and lost the inside and than hit the wall on white and wheel wobbled it to a 7th. 
  •  
  • Ellis – Skippy – Summit Point – started p15 – ended p12
  • Started p12 – finished p8 had to hold off faster cars but got it done.
  • Started p12 – lap 1 turn 1 they stack off i wreck – limp it around and take the fast repair – p19 made it up to p14
  • Started p9 – drove it up to 4th before the guy behind me trys to overtakes and takes us both out – dnf
  • F2000 – phoenix – 1st start ever and I win it! Led the most laps – I had to earn it though and had to battle several guys all the way to the end.
  • Got barely clipped in lap 1 and damage and faded to the back, last on lead lap
  • Started 5th was leading most laps leading at end but 2nd edged me at line, p2 
  • Started P5 end up winning the race at the line. Donnie watched.
  • SPIKER
      • Nascar B-Open, Road America, P4, Started P2, Would have finished P2, but I had an off at T1 with 10 to go. 
  • Nascar B-Open, Atlanta SS, P13, Started on Pole (w/ a Pro in the room).  Mike spotted.  We ran up front leading 16 Laps.  I got tangled up in two incidents resulting in 3 min of damage.  Both incidents I got called out for, luckily, w/ my chat turned off, I didn’t hear nor care knowing I wasn’t at fault.  Mike was able to confirm…lol.  However, had a lot of fun.  Somehow, Nascar created an even more stressful plate package.  Real life must suck.
    • Late Model Open, P6, Started P8.  It seems to be taking me 75% of the race to get corner entry down.  I am not finding to practice, these race I am entering are my 1st in this car at these tracks

Late Model Fixed, P7, Started P10.  Same as above.

More on Oswego

Listener John Zackery gave us some more info on Oswego Speedway after our last conversation

Hi Mike I thought I would give you some more info on Oswego speedway. Yes it is known for the super modifieds but they also run the Whelen modifieds once a year as well as the big block and small block dirt modifieds. They put clay down in September for the big block modifieds biggest race of the year. Super Dirt Week. So the track would be used for more then just the super modifieds. It’s crazy that they wouldn’t want it scanned. Sad.

Wifi Flag Light

FastTrack Sim Racing

Did you know: SIMRacingApps has built-in flag lights that work via wi-fi? Well, now ya know.

This video shows just the test mode.

All you need is a LIFX bulb or led strips from lifx. You cannot use another name brand.

Once you have the light working from your phone app, all you need is to copy the “token” from lifx. Then paste that token into the simracingapps settings. It’s that simple.

Tested it out last night, there was no lag with it instantly turning colors. What bothered me was, the green stayed on the whole time while under green flag conditions. I like racing in the dark, so I contacted simracingapps, they showed me how to only have the green on for a short period.

Remember the kid that was doing post race commentary for his mx5 races, racing the top irating guys of iracing?

  • Ellis –   p6 – finally a good race – was running third most of the night – as high as second. One of the final restarts i came up through the gears drifted a hair to the right and hit the guy next to me causing a big wreck. Was back as far as 14th and damaged but enough other attrition got me to 7th – we had a natural gwc, then 4 gwc’s yes 4 – then once it was over checker it continued to say pacing so i kept doing laps and it gave me one more spot – 
  • Hall – P22. tough top split.  Got early damage avoiding the wreck but found the inside wall.  But I was really mostly racing around the guys I usually race.
  • Sunday Open

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Charlotte

  • Ellis –   pwrecked out – very uncomfortable loose in was slow out there for sure – made it to lap 83 before i killed it putting it in the wall hard – 
  • Rochette-Pwrecked.  Tried to stay away from the crap but it hit the fan. First had a spinner come back up on the track from just loosing it on the back and knocked some revs outta me. Than just before half way a car went into the infield on the stretch  and the dumbass lapper in front of me slams on his brakes and i knock the hell out of him. Im done 
  • Hall – P 9.  Frustrating race, but stuck it out.  Trapped a lap down early because a car wouldn’t catch up to the pack and we couldn’t get wave around after a cation in the middle of green flag stops.  Got damage from a lead lap car that decided to go Ryan Newman mode on cars racing for the lucky dog.  Forgot to change my wheel setting so ran the whole race with to high a steering ratio.  But did finally get back on lead lap and survived for 9th

Groves – P wrecked

Hall – p wrecked out by unavoidable

Race : Gateway

  • Wed Open:
  • Hall –p. 19, purely survival.  Tough Top Split was car 37.  Got damage on 2nd lap as a driver discovered on green his FFB was gone.  Caught in a 2nd wreck and just limped around on back of tail lap, but was far enough from the rest of the wrecks.
  • Ellis – p wrecked out – had a good race going running about 10th to 12th – around half way i got 12 x within 20 laps from people running me over from behind in the corner. After that I spun off on my own late exit down the the inner wall and killed the car 4 minutes optional. Stayed on lead lap and couldnt really repair due to people cant pace. Maybe 20 laps later the engine blows.
  • Thurs Open  

Ellis – p. 11 – Was running good top ten as high as second, but someone spun up front and i tboned in for five and half min damage – soldiered on to be last on lead lap

  • Ellis – skip barber – ring – started p17, finished p7 – missed the big one
  • Wrecked out four different races in a row
  • Started 14th finish P6.

  • PDS Euro Sprint Series
    • Hall –  3 WINS at Daytona, one was a 18 second comeback.

  • FastTrack League –
    1. David – p 7, good long run speed but suffered to much on the short run
    2. Greg pDisappointed in the setup and tired of getting run over in this league by A-Holes
    3. Mike – p21- was pretty uncomfortable around the top letting everybody go wasn’t racing anyone get the car cleaned till roughly halfway and then started hitting the wall was barely hanging onto it by the end. Glad to get a finish at Charlotte this week that is an accomplishment for me. 
    4. Adam –  p w Wrecked out

Git R Done GT3 Series

Greg – P2 in head 1, field inverted for heat 2 and made it back up to 2nd. Didn’t have anything for the leader

SCCA Runoffs Coming to iRacing in October 2022

iRacing and the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) are pleased to announce the addition of the SCCA Runoffs to iRacing’s Special Events schedule for the first time in 2022. Utilizing the Super Session model, drivers will have the opportunity to qualify for the iRacing SCCA Runoffs over the week of October 17-21, 2022, before the top qualifiers strap in over the course of a marathon eight-hour broadcast day on Saturday, October 22.

“The SCCA Runoffs are one of the most prestigious events in American road racing, and we’re excited to officially add them to the iRacing special event schedule in 2022,” said Kevin Bobbitt, Director of Marketing at iRacing. “Giving our racers another opportunity to compete in top-level virtual road racing, while offering them a completely different slate of cars from the norm to race with, is an incredible proposition, and we can’t wait to see who takes the victory across our largest special event vehicle lineup ever!

As in the real world, the iRacing SCCA Runoffs will be held at VIRginia International Raceway, and the eight competing classes will similarly be modeled after vehicles that take part in the Runoffs every year. Sessions in each class will be held once every four hours from Monday-Friday, with all drivers holding a D class road license or above eligible to race and earn their way into the Super Sessions. All races will be 35 minutes in length.

The eight competing classes, and their full schedule of Super Sessions coming on Saturday, October 22, are as follows. All Super Sessions will be broadcast in succession on iRacing social media channels:

image.png

The real-world SCCA Runoffs return to VIRginia International Raceway for the first time in three years on September 24-October 2, 2022, and will return there in 2023 as well. The history of the event dates back nearly six decades, and serves as the SCCA’s national championship weekend for the top amateur road racers in America.

  • Hall – P 21 Top Split.  The set that I thought was more stable really started to let go around lap 40.  At one point was 23rd 2 laps down after Green flag stops.  Caution comes out, take wave around, caution comes out, get lucky dog.  Back on lead lap, but then started behind all the lappers and they wrecked in front and killed my car.  Limped it home to 21st.  I did get caught in an early accident with minor damage and wonder if it is why the long run handle went away.

    • Tyler – P9. Was not a Sunday Funday after a grueling demo derby at Kansas. 16 cautions total in my split. Managed to only get 5x and showed some late race speed. Was not thrilled with this car on the track but I’ll take a top 10 anyday.

  • Ellis – Lap 21 and push to the wall and I knocked off the right front. Surprisingly they repaired it and I was back out three laps down. There were some confusion about if I could get a lap back or not but it didn’t matter I hit the wall again and then it became undrivable but no damage to fix. 
  • Rochette – wrecked out 
  • Kyle Friday P6. Started P3 and dropped back to avoid the aggressive drivers. Around lap 35 got caught up in someone else’s wreck and had to tow. Needed less then 4 minutes of repairs and decided to fix it. Came back out 3 laps down and way down in the standings. Worked my way back up through the field as drivers started to leave the race and eventually got myself up to a P6.
