Eminent – “the famous lotus”
iRacing recently released the Lotus ’79, and in tribute, www.iracerstuff.com has hosted a video submission competition. iRacing hed a fun weekend event with the car. I took this opportunity to run multiple practice sessions and ultimately two races! This is a highlight film for those two races as well as a simple “shower” of the Lotus and camera system.
*update* I did not win for the competition, in fact, I very disappointingly didn’t even place in the top three. The winning movie I did feel was superior to mine, but used very similar music. Music which was judged harshly on mine, but on his. Politics? Friends of the creator? I’m not sure, but I was disappointed in the results.

Cant Stop the Rock in iRacing
iRacing recently released the Daytona Prototype. They had a fun weekend event with the car. I took this opportunity to run multiple practice sessions and ultimately two races! This is a highlight film for those two races as well as a simple “shower” of the DP and what’s like.

Only a Jedi Can Pilot a Formula Mazda
This, for fun film, I made from the 13th fun week at iRacing.com. The Formula Mazda class was racing at Milwaukee, and in field sizes up to 30 (if I recall correctly). Your safety rating couldnt’ be harmed in anyway, so the racing was always just for fun. The song is by Weird Al, titled “Yoda” and all of the images I just simple google image searched, and finally the voice overs were done by me, and by recording some audio from sound boards.

V e l o c i t y
Velocity is a highlight film of the Skip Barber race series at iRacing.com at Virginia International Raceway (VIR). This track has a wonderful background, and great elevation changes throughout the lap. It was considered to be one of the hardest courses for the series, and it happened to create some of the greatest racing. The song is “Bleed it Out” by Linkin Park, and the image at the beginning is from a stock photo on deviantart.com

Conquering the Beast
This was the very first film I made. On this particular track, Lime Rock Park in the chicane formation, I was having an extremely hard time holding it in the final turn. (nick named the “widow maker”) This turn is a diving turn, and has some unsettling bumps that when you make an improper correction, the skip barber would turn around on itself. This film highlights my success in finally “conquering” this track. The song is by The Offspring titled “The Kid’s Aren’t Alright”

Trucks at Daytona an INTENSE Ride
It was said that the truck series at Daytona was just a crash feast, and impossible to improve your safety rating on. I made this film in response to this, where I had one hell of a race moving up through the cars, with only one yellow flag. Choosing track position over performance, I opted to only take fuel at the pit stop, allowing me to move up in position by nearly ten. This allowed me to stay up close and finish in the top 5.
