Thursday night is Race night for the Penny Arcade iRacing league!
We are heading to the Nürburgring to race GT3’s tonight in what is often called “The Green Hell”. Each lap here is nearly 13 miles of twisty-turny roads through the lush German countryside. The Pit Crew opens up on Twitch at 7:30PT and the schedule for a race night looks like this after that:
7:30 - The league hits the track for an open practice.
8:30 - After a quick qualifying lap we grid up and the race starts!
---30 minutes of absolute carnage---
9:00 - The checkered flag is waved and the race ends.
After the race we do a “Livery Parade”. Each week there is a different theme and anyone who wants to can participate by making their own custom livery for their car. At the end of the night we check out all the creativity on display in the league before handing the stream over to Skiggity who handle C.S.iRacing. He rewinds the tape on the race and takes you through all the big wrecks of the evening assigning blame as necessary.
It’s a fun night of sim racing and a great introduction to the hobby if you’re new. The league has over 300 registered drivers these days and many of them started out watching from the Pit Crew. So come join us tonight for what is occasionally the number 3 iRacing stream on Twitch!
That looks less cool written out.
