He wanted the drivers to race online. He got it. We’re about to have
a sim-racing replacement to the Australian Grand Prix.

And another one, from Sam S. Collins and the ex-NISMO TV (now THE RACE) crew.

Seriously? I don’t even care about F1, but that’s cool!

Well, if they invite Pastor Maldonado, it will probably be a very brief race.

Twitter hints that there’s a NASCAR race in the works too. And Dinner with Racers is doing some sort of livestream event that may involve some racing to replace Sebring...

This is probably the only eSports event I’ll watch this year.

They’re madlads, really. Like, JEV threw it out there on IG like a day or two ago and now they can make it happen, with the (remote) prospect that they can do it a few times (coinciding with GP schedules) until the infection is contained.

Professional sim-racing (and all the games that have it) is worth your time, believe me. If even Lando and Max can do it, there’s a chance that you can, too. That’s why I hold sim-racing in high regard: of all the eSports, it’s the one that has the most number of transferable skills, and it’s still absolutely entertaining (because it’s motor racing, one of the two true sports—bullfighting has fallen out of favour).

Well, I hope they record it or something, because 5:45 GMT is 12:45 am where I live.

I think DWR is a much less planned/serious event. More joking around with a bunch of the guys with some possible racing thrown in for fun.

Looks entertaining but not necessarily competitive with the iracing event.
