DSD Demonstration of 2015 D Pro Sequential Shifter






Looks like Derek Speare Designs DSD is hard at work creating a new Pro Sequential shifter for 2015. As Derek says it's made of high grade plastic that should last a lifetime. DSD is known for there awesome service and products that are field proven to just work over and over!

I want to get one of these to test out. I'm really in the market for a new SQ shifter and this might fit my rig nicely. I'm curious how ruff I can be with it and how strong the spring tension is. Being it's made from plastic pricing should be really fair.

No price announced yet, but this is sure to be another top seller for DSD. Check out the video and visit their website for Derek Speare Designs 







Nissan GT-R LM Nismo at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show


Oh baby!. This looks awesome! When can we get this Prototype into a sim please? Notice the steering wheel actually looks like Fanatec Formula rim.

Win a Free SRH Tach by playing RaceRoom


You like racing games? You already own RaceRoom? Then race down to the competitions section and race for a chance to win a USB Tachometer. 

SRH and Sector3 joined forces to give away 3 Tach Stands. Don't worry you don't have to be the fastest to win, although that will help you secure 1 of these tach's, but SRH is also giving away 2 of them to random entry's who put in a valid lap. It's a win win really since your having fun anyway.

So go to http://game.raceroom.com/competitions/ and crank up the Mercedes 190E to toss it around the Zolder track. Free to enter!

Looks like IRacing is bringing Monza to us soon. This should be a fun track to race with basically 2 tracks in one. You got the high speed Oval and the Circuit track with both being able to be combined. Check out the video preview


RFactor2 New Content Coming!



Well Holy Cow!

rFactor2 is bringing some great new content that I can't wait to get my hands on. Lets take a look.

First up!

The Nissan GT500 I'm drooling over. It's a 500 hp V8 RWD monster instead of the Twin Turbo V6 4wd monster. With rFactor2 physics this will be a treat to drive. No date on when it's coming out, just the twitter feed that says soon.


2nd up!

1966 Brabham is coming soon with a physics update, bringing chassis flex and improved wet weather tires. I'm curious to try this one out as I currently lack skill to drive this race car fast.


3rd up!

ISI is bringing some sweet looking weather advancements to there tracks. This should bring some new immersion to your races. I can't wait to see this one.







Game Petrobras de Marcas Coming Soon to Steam!



ReizaStudios announced yesterday that Petrobras de Marcas is coming to steam for Free! It's currently a free download on their website Click Here , but if your like me and like to not have a dozen small sims all over the place and rather keep it organized under one place this is going to be great!

Also for those like myself that already own Stock Car Extreme on Steam (My Review) it is coming to you through an update for free. It's time to get some Touring Car action going.

Until then enjoy some videos of it from Reiza and Stock Car Extreme action from myself.
