Speaker 3: That's disappointing. We've been going strong since we.
Speaker 2: Have Yeah, I mean I took I hurt my shoulder.
Speaker 3: Yeah, from I missed them going to go to PT.
Speaker 3: I haven't missed a day yet.
Speaker 2: You're doing great for Kevin and I started doing push ups.
Speaker 2: Was that April?
Speaker 3: No, February?
Speaker 2: Is it February?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I don't even I've hit my head since then. One
Speaker 2: hundred push ups a day? Yeah, there was anybody listening
Speaker 2: to the show? One hundred push ups a day. Kevin
Speaker 2: and I chat or or text message history for the
Speaker 2: last six seven months has just been twenty five fifty
Speaker 2: seventy five, one hundred all throughout the day. We look
Speaker 2: like a bunch of degenerates. But it's a good time.
Speaker 3: When the NSA kind of taps into our text, they're
Speaker 3: gonna be like, oh, there's some weird code here. What
Speaker 3: do you mean, Win, I'm not just saying it could happen.
Speaker 2: Chris, what have you been up to?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, I just got back from visiting some old friends
Speaker 1: down at Richmond Sway for Nitro Cross.
Speaker 4: It was great to be back.
Speaker 1: Saw a lot of old friends, people I hadn't seen
Speaker 1: the long time. Just everybody's so happy. I racers kicking button.
Speaker 1: The next EVO class. We had both Mitchell DeYoung there,
Speaker 1: who I'm sure will come up as we get to
Speaker 1: some of our esports stuff and Tommy Hallman, who were
Speaker 1: two of our best ir X drivers back in the day,
Speaker 1: And uh, stop me if you've heard this one before,
Speaker 1: but those guys won literally everything there was to win,
Speaker 1: so pretty cool.
Speaker 3: I did hear this before because you told us when
Speaker 3: you got back.
Speaker 1: That's true, but the world I was at lunch that day, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: No, it was a good time. Richmond's a cool track
Speaker 3: to go to.
Speaker 1: Richmond is a really cool and I got to actually
Speaker 1: shoot with a full body camera a rally cross race
Speaker 1: for the first time because I always had to shoot
Speaker 1: phone back in the day.
Speaker 3: What did you shoot the I saw you post a
Speaker 3: video of a bobble head on a car a go pro?
Speaker 4: No, that was that was I shot with.
Speaker 1: Actually the Nitro folks had a just like a gimbal
Speaker 1: with a go pro or something like that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we was down there with Mia Chapman and uh Mia,
Speaker 1: you know, we won like a morale. Booster was her
Speaker 1: first weekend running rally cross ever. She's always been an
Speaker 1: off road driver, and so Jim Beaver and I had
Speaker 1: the idea that, oh, you know, let's let's strap the
Speaker 1: Travis bobblehead to the roof of the car and see, uh,
Speaker 1: see how Travis reacts to.
Speaker 3: It the whole way around his butt off.
Speaker 4: I've got the video.
Speaker 1: Both of them saw it for the first time within
Speaker 1: thirty seconds of one another, and the faces were priceless.
Speaker 2: If this isn't right underneath the tweet announcing this podcast,
Speaker 2: I'm disappointed because I've not seen this video.
Speaker 4: Oh it's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nitro put it on their Instagram. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: didn't think this was five million Instagram followers. Cool, but
Speaker 1: I'm glad you guys do. It didn't do well in
Speaker 1: the Lakes, It's okay.
Speaker 2: Well, let's get into it. We gotta you know, we
Speaker 2: gotta make up for lost time, uh for the you know,
Speaker 2: it's been a little while since we've been doing this,
Speaker 2: but we got to build.
Speaker 3: We did have a bill.
Speaker 2: We've got a build to talk about a lot of
Speaker 2: really good constants, some highly requested content, and let's kick
Speaker 2: it off. BMW M four GT four the G eighty two.
Speaker 2: Kevin tell us about it.
Speaker 3: Well, it's another car from one of our favorite German manufacturers.
Speaker 3: BMW is always great to work with.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Timo and Flora.
Speaker 3: Timo and Florian appreciate it. Great car, new GT four.
Speaker 3: What is there to say? It's super fun. We are
Speaker 3: also going to be updating it in the future to
Speaker 3: get it to the full EVO spec and that is
Speaker 3: something you don't have to pay for. Well, just once
Speaker 3: we get the the updated CAD and all that, we'll
Speaker 3: make that change. Maybe December, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 3: want to commit to that. Maybe later.
Speaker 2: Great, I'm waving, I'm waving off. Don't listen to Kevin, don't.
Speaker 3: Knows whenever we get the data. But anyway, it's cool
Speaker 3: to have an updated car. Big fan of the BMW
Speaker 3: class or cars in their class, so that's awesome. Also
Speaker 3: have the McLaren that just came out, the seven twenty
Speaker 3: SGT three EVO, and I know there was a lot
Speaker 3: of talk why did it get delayed this and that.
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of misinformation on that.
Speaker 2: Would you like to set the record, Shore, I'd like
Speaker 2: to set the record, Kevin would like to set the record.
Speaker 3: Straights maclaire is your Mclaire's been a longtime partner. We've
Speaker 3: been building cars from them for a dozen years something
Speaker 3: like that, and just like all of our agreements with cars,
Speaker 3: the cars tracks, they get approved by the manufacturer. This
Speaker 3: one took a little bit longer than we'd hoped. But
Speaker 3: other than that, you know, it's it is what it is, right,
Speaker 3: I mean, I saw posts in the forum saying, oh,
Speaker 3: why would I Racing even talk about a car if
Speaker 3: it's not approved vaporware. Yeah, if we didn't talk about
Speaker 3: content until it was approved, you guys wouldn't know about
Speaker 3: anything until the day it was released. Right, So we
Speaker 3: have a license for the car, we start building it.
Speaker 3: There's some back and forth, we send images, we send
Speaker 3: whatever they've requested, and then they need to approve it.
Speaker 3: And every manufacturer has their own process. Sometimes it takes
Speaker 3: a little bit longer. Sometimes we might be working up
Speaker 3: to the last minute. The whole combination of factors. It
Speaker 3: just it just wasn't approved in time. Once again, we
Speaker 3: got approval when out almost instantly, right was that I
Speaker 3: think the next day or something like that. So all
Speaker 3: good with McLaren. It's super popular. I think I saw
Speaker 3: a unnamed famous F one driver racing it already.
Speaker 2: So the irony on all of.
Speaker 3: That, I don't want to. I don't want to because
Speaker 3: you know, it's not his manufacturer, but but it seems
Speaker 3: to be very well received. Who doesn't want a cool
Speaker 3: looking McLaren's good. It's a really cool car.
Speaker 2: It's a good looking and requested for forever.
Speaker 3: I mean, I would have we have to say goodbye
Speaker 3: to the flames out there. There's no flame for flames
Speaker 3: tuned a little better. I guess right.
Speaker 2: It's I have seen the Docky drama.
Speaker 4: It's okay.
Speaker 1: You guys know that my legal come up with a
Speaker 1: use for the old one with all the legacy GT.
Speaker 3: Was that our first know what was our first GT three?
Speaker 3: Was it the Ford G four C four, Z four four.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 3: It was either the four flares for Days because that's
Speaker 3: what cartoon.
Speaker 1: At one point I had to go back through all
Speaker 1: the old media stuff for something with the G four
Speaker 1: with I think it was the Empower Tour, and I
Speaker 1: saw there was way back in the day, was like
Speaker 1: the Z four, the MP four and I think the
Speaker 1: roof the track version of the roof. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like that was that was the way back. Yeah, so Kevin,
Speaker 1: way back Wednesday, but it's Thursday. It's Thursday, Kevin want
Speaker 1: to play Come on? That's even more popular than Wednesday.
Speaker 3: I'm old, what do I know, Kevin?
Speaker 2: You wanna play a word association game? I say, say
Speaker 2: a word and you have to you have to give
Speaker 2: me the first thing.
Speaker 3: You can added things if I come up with the
Speaker 3: wrong thing, right, okay, portal I'm having I'm having a moment.
Speaker 2: Oh if you know, you know, going back to the
Speaker 2: BMW though, this is really cool. So we got the
Speaker 2: BMW Empower too. It's been around for a couple of seasons,
Speaker 2: but we got a reformat.
Speaker 3: And now it's just the GT four car I think.
Speaker 2: Single make Yes, it's the the the new GT four
Speaker 2: running the same schedule as the Ferrari Challenge at the
Speaker 2: D level, same weeks, thirty minutes off set, so you
Speaker 2: can get it, get a chance to just go and
Speaker 2: rip around on the BMW and have a good time,
Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: And they throw in some cool prizes too, some stuff
Speaker 3: that like what, Kevin, Well, I can't tell you because hell,
Speaker 3: there're surprises there. There are prizes that you can't there.
Speaker 3: They've put the prize prizes. Oh there's surprises, yes, Oh,
Speaker 3: cool things that you know maybe you know, parts off cars,
Speaker 3: things that are autographed, things like.
Speaker 2: That, you know, from the things you can't buy the
Speaker 2: last nerveburggering race. I watched Jimmy Brodbpton video. I think
Speaker 2: there was probably some spare parts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you could get those spare parts if
Speaker 3: you're at the track, just reach out and catch us
Speaker 3: a lot of contact at the.
Speaker 2: Now. Another cool thing about the the BMW updates is
Speaker 2: the old not really that old, but the F eighty
Speaker 2: two variant variant is not going away. It's going into
Speaker 2: into the production our challenge.
Speaker 3: Right, So it was already in that now or no.
Speaker 2: It wasn't, so we move moving in there because you know,
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of discussion on this in the
Speaker 2: forums about why would you do this? If you have
Speaker 2: gone to a track day anywhere in the US or
Speaker 2: in Europe, you see this car and the production Car
Speaker 2: Challenge is basically a track day, and and so that
Speaker 2: the body style is iconic. You know, people really love
Speaker 2: that before they moved to this.
Speaker 1: News it's not like it's yeah, fund it helps add
Speaker 1: some of that speed variation, that speed difference to production
Speaker 1: car Challenge to where that is kind of your intro
Speaker 1: to multi class race.
Speaker 2: Absolutely to steal your line, I mean, so, what's funny
Speaker 2: is you.
Speaker 1: Know we're doing role reversal. You've got my line and
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the actual series.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Yeah. I remember I did a it was
Speaker 2: like two seasons ago. I did a race with the
Speaker 2: Vehicle Production Associate Group and we were we did PCC
Speaker 2: and I was in the Mustang and they were in
Speaker 2: the Miata and they were on me. I couldn't check out.
Speaker 2: You know that the fastest car in the series wasn't
Speaker 2: really fast enough to leave, and we will, this will
Speaker 2: remedy that. But the Mustang's not going away either. Mustang
Speaker 2: still lives in the in the Mustang series, so nothing left.
Speaker 2: We just rearranged things a little bit to continue moving things.
Speaker 3: Matt Malone's final Mustang race really wasn't the final, No, No, it.
Speaker 2: Was thirteen weeks of it this season.
Speaker 3: All right, just still we're clear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Matt needs to go and tell people how
Speaker 2: to get cars for free or something once again. If
Speaker 2: you know, you know, hey, Matt, what's going on? Ah?
Speaker 1: But speaking of free cars, speaking of free cars, Chris,
Speaker 1: that was not even planned.
Speaker 2: That was well, I mean, I didn't read the outline
Speaker 2: util I walked in so, hey, Tony, we take this seriously.
Speaker 2: I promise Chris tell us about the Mini Stock in
Speaker 2: the dirt mini Stock.
Speaker 1: Who doesn't love a small, full bodied, agile race car.
Speaker 2: Are we talking about the mini Stock?
Speaker 1: We we are talking about both mini stocks. I mean,
Speaker 1: these things they're so sporty. They are such a blast
Speaker 1: to drive, whether you're driving it on pavement, on dirt.
Speaker 3: You know, track.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, they both work pretty well. But but I digress. Now,
Speaker 1: little two point three liter engine, you got about two
Speaker 1: hundred horsepower. I've seen so many fun paints for this
Speaker 1: car as well the people I'm putting on trading paints.
Speaker 1: It's just everybody is having so much fun with this car.
Speaker 1: And that's really what you want from a free car,
Speaker 1: from an entry level car, you know, from something you're
Speaker 1: going to play at the rookie level. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: I know that there's some people who wanted to see
Speaker 1: a front wheel drive and this is rear wheel.
Speaker 3: But I think the real wheel drived you just drive
Speaker 3: it backwards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like forklift type racing.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I saw this on YouTube, the German fork
Speaker 2: forklift Driving National Championships YouTube. This like really should put
Speaker 2: a link in the description below mind blowingly.
Speaker 1: Has anybody taking notes on all the things that we
Speaker 1: got to put in the bottom.
Speaker 3: A lot of links.
Speaker 1: We've got the we've got the Nitro bobblehead thing. We've
Speaker 1: got the German National Forklift Championship.
Speaker 3: I'm serious these championships.
Speaker 1: Actually, it's gonna have the I Racing Downship supplemental medium.
Speaker 2: Chris has got that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I got you.
Speaker 3: All right, what's next? Tracks? Tracks?
Speaker 2: Yes, we have a Cadwell Park we are really building out.
Speaker 2: That are the British tracks on I Racing. We have
Speaker 2: a really great compliment and this adds to it. A
Speaker 2: little narrow and a lot of fun, especially in the
Speaker 2: lower powered cars, a lot of elevation change. It is
Speaker 2: uh and I gotta we have to just shout out
Speaker 2: to the entire art team. I drove this track originally
Speaker 2: when I call it Rainbow Road. They just laid the
Speaker 2: spline and there was maybe some grass in the side,
Speaker 2: but you could fall off an oblivion and you know,
Speaker 2: it was like what I don't I don't get it.
Speaker 2: And then I saw the final the final product, and
Speaker 2: and absolutely just mind blowing how how good this track looks.
Speaker 2: It is quite the experience. They race Legends cars there,
Speaker 2: which here's a great thing. We've got a new series.
Speaker 3: Why dol Ends, Why don't we put it in.
Speaker 2: Let's do a Legends roadside.
Speaker 3: Let's do it.
Speaker 2: I did the first race and no, I finished fifth
Speaker 2: and like fifth split. But it was a ton of
Speaker 2: fun and I was drenched in sweat after fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: I tell you what I was. Those cars feel like
Speaker 2: they have a thousand horse power. Then you're going like
Speaker 2: sixty miles an hour. So but no, they're perfect to
Speaker 2: go to Laparo Cadital Park. I think some of the
Speaker 2: community have found new places to get cars airborne, you know,
Speaker 2: since the jump at Bathurst. Go to Cadwell and get creative.
Speaker 2: You you probably can get a car that sounds like people,
Speaker 2: that is definitely your people. So we also have and
Speaker 2: you know, no one ever talks about this track. It's
Speaker 2: really a secret on IRA sound SPA.
Speaker 3: Never heard of it, never heard of it.
Speaker 2: Really Okay, well, complete dirty Hipsters, I lost my train
Speaker 2: of thought. Complete Rescan Art update. Uh it's package with
Speaker 2: the old scans, so you've got all versions of it.
Speaker 2: Nothing went away, but uh, just bringing it up to
Speaker 2: date and uh if you've not had an opportunity to
Speaker 2: go check it out, especially going through a rouge ab tested.
Speaker 2: Go go drive the old version, go track to.
Speaker 3: Another link. Yeah it's uh yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 2: No, it's ah that is a fan favorite. Uh this
Speaker 2: next one is near and dear to my heart. I
Speaker 2: feel like I might have actually been the one of
Speaker 2: the reasons we did this one and this older but
Speaker 2: these older art update.
Speaker 3: I love Zolder.
Speaker 2: Some people don't like Zolder. I love Zolder. I I
Speaker 2: don't know. I raced. It was one of my first tracks.
Speaker 2: I race and a skippy and I'm one of my
Speaker 2: first wins, and so it's got a soft spot in
Speaker 2: my heart. And I like the chicanes, I like the flow.
Speaker 2: There's obvious history there. Go check this out. Even the
Speaker 2: old version of the track had some really cool dregs,
Speaker 2: and the new version takes it to another level. Go
Speaker 2: to Zolder and really just enjoy it. This version is
Speaker 2: just an art update. It doesn't break any of your
Speaker 2: old replays. It just it just uh yeah, brings things
Speaker 2: up to the modern spa and yeah, looks more pretty
Speaker 2: and has a lot of solar panels. And I have
Speaker 2: it on good authority the solar panels move.
Speaker 3: I've heard that.
Speaker 2: I haven't actually do we have time lapse of that?
Speaker 3: Make a note? Who's making a note? Time lapse of
Speaker 3: the solar panels? Not taking notes? He's worried about the
Speaker 3: knobs and buttons on the switch.
Speaker 2: Did we say something we're gonna have to edit out?
Speaker 3: And probably? Uh so?
Speaker 2: Yeah, three new cars, three new tracks, really big build.
Speaker 2: But we've got some new features as well. We put
Speaker 2: out this new thing called new new to irasing thing
Speaker 2: called rain invented. We invented rayin uh So, we're learning
Speaker 2: what the community you know, wants and kind of how
Speaker 2: to use it, you know, rather than just turning it
Speaker 2: on and off. You know, what are the situations, what
Speaker 2: are the the the compelling scenarios that we can try
Speaker 2: to build out that people really enjoy. And there was
Speaker 2: a big request for that kind of spotty rain, like
Speaker 2: is it isn't it? You don't really know? Well, now
Speaker 2: you have it, you do it in the timeline feature,
Speaker 2: set up a test drive or a hosted race or whatever,
Speaker 2: and really just make it so spotty rain speaks for itself.
Speaker 2: It's gonna maybe it's gonna rain, maybe it's not hit
Speaker 2: or miss the entire time. You don't even know what
Speaker 2: you're getting super excited about that.
Speaker 3: Uh is it easier? Not easier? But is it like
Speaker 3: one click? How do you set it up? I believe
Speaker 3: it's the checkbox so you don't have to do the
Speaker 3: whole timeline thing and this is just it just.
Speaker 2: You can go as little or as more, most or
Speaker 2: as in depth as you want. Cool And if you
Speaker 2: haven't messed with a timeline feature on on I Racing
Speaker 2: for setting up weather, just do it and test drave.
Speaker 2: It's actually super super cool it is.
Speaker 3: That's just well, I don't know if this was an
Speaker 3: easier way, like a quicker way, like I just want
Speaker 3: I just wants body rain. Click the button and you're
Speaker 3: in good to go. Perfect.
Speaker 2: Another one that I think is really just going to
Speaker 2: put people at ease, especially when you get your butt
Speaker 2: kicked and qualifying you're like, what the heck? How did
Speaker 2: this guy just smoke me by two seconds? At Martinsville?
Speaker 2: You know, so before you couldn't really couldn't see anybody
Speaker 2: else in qualifying, you just kind of had to sit there. Well,
Speaker 2: wi la. Now as soon as you're doing with the
Speaker 2: qualifying session and you're bored out, there was a there
Speaker 2: was subtle.
Speaker 3: There we go.
Speaker 2: You can now see people in qualifying get done with
Speaker 2: their session. It gives you something to do. Also, there's
Speaker 2: anything if you question, you know, is that was that
Speaker 2: a anything scandalous happening with that Q lap? You can
Speaker 2: go and look for yourself, and I'd be willing to
Speaker 2: bet nine times out.
Speaker 3: Its end they just I would guess it is usually
Speaker 3: I am just darn slow.
Speaker 2: Get good, right, but if if for some reason.
Speaker 3: It's a transparency sort of yeah, and that's that's good
Speaker 3: for everybody. And then hey, you could also learn something too.
Speaker 3: Hey guys two seconds faster than you and Martinsville watch
Speaker 3: his lap. Yeah, maybe you'll learn the apex get get
Speaker 3: into the same something, yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: Or an apex.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Chas Daine found a new one there
Speaker 2: last year, so I thought we didn't allow that.
Speaker 3: We don't allow that. So if somebody does that, you
Speaker 3: would not you would see it and you could do with.
Speaker 2: Something, although that'd be a one accident like it's anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then lastly, features we've rain enabled for all the
Speaker 2: cars in the Production Car Challenge, so pretty excited about that,
Speaker 2: including the Mustang, which no longer is there. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: you'll see, uh you probably turn your Winchew weapons on.
Speaker 3: I think there's actually more than we have listed here
Speaker 3: in the build the build page that we've got on
Speaker 3: the site or build notes for full details.
Speaker 2: Full details put together by a host of folks in
Speaker 2: the marketing team.
Speaker 3: Lots of good stuff there all.
Speaker 2: Right now, we are going to we're gonna call a audible.
Speaker 2: We're gonna change things up. We're gonna go to page two. Everybody,
Speaker 2: page two. Oh okay, I got it. We're going to
Speaker 2: bullet number four under Console games, Ah Outlaws, World of Outlaws.
Speaker 2: So anything happening like right now.
Speaker 3: Right now, it is available for pre order, get out
Speaker 3: it is and by the time this comes out, well,
Speaker 3: this is probably gonna come out tomorrow. I'm looking at
Speaker 3: Sean Today's Thursday, maybe Friday. Two thumbs up, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Two thumbs up is not an answer to the question
Speaker 2: that this will.
Speaker 3: Be out this week. So it's available for pre order

Speaker 3: Probably should clarify it's the Gold Edition gives you early access.
Speaker 3: I didn't see and that includes.
Speaker 2: The Swego and Houston's too.
Speaker 3: I know this because I read it on the early
Speaker 3: Access and a couple of pieces of content.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be future DLC. So Oswego and Housetts aren't
Speaker 1: going to be available at launch.
Speaker 3: But but they'll be free downloads when they come.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly when you buy the Gold Edition. Once Oswego

Speaker 3: Is it Oswego or Oswego? I don't know.

Speaker 3: but no. But on a serious note, it's super fun.
Speaker 3: Check it out.
Speaker 2: The QA guys have had the best job at I Racing.
Speaker 3: A lot of laughs and chuckles, and it seems like
Speaker 3: they're having fun.
Speaker 2: I go back there, like you guys working, like yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, cool.
Speaker 1: But there's so much cool stuff in this game. The
Speaker 1: revisions to Career Mode are really awesome. It's going to
Speaker 1: be a lot more streamlined. If you got overwhelmed with
Speaker 1: the old Career Mode, I think you'll have an easier

Speaker 3: on a.
Speaker 2: Different planet, do you know anything about that?

Speaker 1: I don't know if we're handicapping here on the podcast,
Speaker 1: but but yeah, they are all going to head down Tuesday,
Speaker 1: October first. They'll be at the NASCAR Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: in Charlotte. The host track is going to be Homestead
Speaker 1: Miami Speedway, which has had so many great, great playoff
Speaker 1: in championship finale races over the years. I mean, I
Speaker 1: still remember back in our old office twenty nineteen when
Speaker 1: we when our friends at NBC Sports put that title
Speaker 1: race on and had Zach Novak and Keegan Leahy.
Speaker 3: Just we're all watching it in the office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was super cool, and I am sure that
Speaker 1: the finish to this one is going to be just
Speaker 1: as exciting.
Speaker 3: It's it's always a great event down there. Haul and
Speaker 3: NASCAR put on a great show. It's really cool, Zax
Speaker 3: Mom running there, uttle bit act.
Speaker 1: And this one's too live with the you know, with
Speaker 1: the life and that the drivers bring in their families.
Speaker 1: We got this guy who we named the trophy after,
Speaker 1: who I think is supposed to be there to hand
Speaker 1: it off.
Speaker 3: Rumor has it, rumor has it.
Speaker 4: I don't know. He He won one of those races before,
Speaker 4: so I guess yeah.
Speaker 3: And if he doesn't, we'll get Auto to hand it out.
Speaker 3: It'll be fine. Almost as almost as.
Speaker 2: At the show.
Speaker 3: He'll be there, let's hope, all right.
Speaker 2: We have a couple other esports kicking off this weekend,
Speaker 2: uh the the f I F four Esports Global Championship,
Speaker 2: the inaugural season of that. This is a new format
Speaker 2: for us with our friends the FIA, great partners. We've
Speaker 2: got eight races over four weeks, double race weekends. We
Speaker 2: do not announce the tracks until the day before. They
Speaker 2: love that fixed setups.
Speaker 4: I love that too.
Speaker 2: You just got to go race.
Speaker 3: So also not like a super high power car, like
Speaker 3: it's not you know, usually our our esports are like,
Speaker 3: what's the top level car in that category? Right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that's just you know, because we think that's the
Speaker 3: way we should do it. But there's great race. I
Speaker 3: get every level of cars.
Speaker 2: So we could argue better racing at every level of
Speaker 2: one car.
Speaker 3: So it's kind of cool that that's thrown in there too,
Speaker 3: that it's the F four car that's you know, super
Speaker 3: fun car, but it's not going to go a million
Speaker 3: miles an hour exactly.
Speaker 2: And this is for those that didn't know. We have
Speaker 2: a the FIA F four regional tours that go on,
Speaker 2: so we've got one for Asia Pacific, one for the Americas,
Speaker 2: and one for Europe. The top ten drivers from each
Speaker 2: of the regions qualified in for this championship, so we'll
Speaker 2: have thirty cars and yeah, a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: When's the first race this Saturday? The days from now
Speaker 3: or a day from whenever this comes out, maybe.
Speaker 2: Exactly anything like that same time slot as the Techo
Speaker 2: Your Porscha series. Yes, so pretty well established for a
Speaker 2: global audience, pretty excited.
Speaker 3: Saturday afternoon US times, Saturday evening for Europe should be
Speaker 3: pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah early in the morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do our best.
Speaker 2: We do our best, so but yeah, it should be
Speaker 2: some great racing. I can't tell you where the race
Speaker 2: and I know where the race.
Speaker 3: Oh you could tell us, but that would be beat
Speaker 3: that out, beat that out.
Speaker 2: Now. I watched watch social media on Friday. I did
Speaker 2: see that Alex made the assets though, so oh yeah, fancy.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's our on the weekends. But Kevin, we
Speaker 2: also have a new esport with eighty car running weeknights.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it starts next Thursday. Qualifying finished last week or
Speaker 3: the week before or something like that. So what is
Speaker 3: it thirty three of the top Indy car drivers that
Speaker 3: kicks off eight pm Eastern if I remember right, Oh,
Speaker 3: it says it right here.
Speaker 1: Yeap web story right now that Justin's got up with
Speaker 1: more info on who's actually made.
Speaker 3: He's got all the lists full drivers right. There's some
Speaker 3: familiar names that have raced in other esports series, but
Speaker 3: there's also a bunch of names that are new to
Speaker 3: that that level of racing, at least on I Racing.
Speaker 3: So that's pretty exciting.
Speaker 2: Fifty thousand dollars price fifty dollars twenty five.
Speaker 3: K for the F four series nice and and the
Speaker 3: Indy Car is a mix between oval and road just
Speaker 3: like the Real World series. IndyCars is fully supporting it.
Speaker 3: You'll see it on on their socials on their website.
Speaker 3: It's pretty cool when you have a partner that's involved
Speaker 3: like that, so much like FIA is helping with the
Speaker 3: F four Esports program. That's what really makes these things work,
Speaker 3: makes the global and makes them more interesting. So excited
Speaker 3: for that. That series runs? Oh gosh, I think it's
Speaker 3: eight or nine races? Do we have it in the notes?
Speaker 3: Believe it was nine? Eight or nine races. It runs
Speaker 3: through the fall, so it should be exciting.
Speaker 2: Ryn Via Angelina Julian mister missus Smith that you're in therapy.
Speaker 2: We're married eight years, nine years, eight or nine years.
Speaker 3: So yeah, excited for that. What else? Oh, I'll go
Speaker 3: to the next bullet point that's on the next page.
Speaker 3: Turn your page, John, So are you're on bullet letter
Speaker 3: to D Yeah? Section D three three D Porsche Contender
Speaker 3: Series Push Off starts on the twenty first of this month.
Speaker 3: This is the final round of qualifying. There's two rounds
Speaker 3: of qualifying. Uh so we'll set the field for Past
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, which kicks off. We haven't announced states,
Speaker 3: but typically it starts in late January and runs through
Speaker 3: June ish, right, So this this is the final qualifying.
Speaker 3: The top fifteen people from pest Contender will make it
Speaker 3: into Big Pesk Big Past, Big Past.
Speaker 4: Big Past.
Speaker 2: What's the full name of the series.
Speaker 3: The Porsche Esports super Cup the tag Horder tag Hoyer, Yes,
Speaker 3: Porscha tag Hoyer Esports super Cup by I Racing is
Speaker 3: the full name. So uh, interesting to note a couple
Speaker 3: of names that used to run in past have been
Speaker 3: trying to get back in. They left the series a
Speaker 3: couple of seasons ago, but Mitchell Gijong and Josh Rogers
Speaker 3: have made it to Contender. They've still got to get through. Uh,
Speaker 3: They've got to qualify just like everybody else. But I'm
Speaker 3: saying I think they have a pretty good shot. But
Speaker 3: you never know. You got a race, you gotta finish.
Speaker 1: And I spent a good amount of time talking about
Speaker 1: that at Richmond. So it's it's good to see him
Speaker 1: back doing all the Mitchell things.
Speaker 2: We've hung out with Mitchell's dad before.
Speaker 3: He saved us. Once we told that story on the
Speaker 3: part we told.
Speaker 2: That story before.
Speaker 1: No I. I spent a ton of time with Vince too,
Speaker 1: so you know he's jazzed to see Mitchell back on
Speaker 1: the racing too.
Speaker 3: But I mean, the names are there, but they've got
Speaker 3: to get through. They've got to they've got to perform,
Speaker 3: they've got to finish. Anything can happen. That's why we.
Speaker 2: Raced Rogers probably gonna be you.
Speaker 3: You never know. You never know. If I was a
Speaker 3: betting man, Well, I'm not a betting man, so we'll
Speaker 3: just leave it at that. So fair enough. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's it from that. What did I say? It starts
Speaker 3: on the twenty first, So those will be broadcast as
Speaker 3: well on Saturday on our channels, on Portrait channels, so
Speaker 3: you can find those when you're not watching the F
Speaker 3: four race.
Speaker 2: So we also have E NASCAR College Series kicking off,
Speaker 2: and I think that's Chris you're talking about that. Yep.
Speaker 1: Once again, I believe it's sixty thousand dollars worth of
Speaker 1: scholarships on the line in the E NASCAR College I
Speaker 1: Racing Series.
Speaker 4: The first time attacks.
Speaker 1: Open now Daytona International Speedway Baby x fin d cars.
Speaker 1: That time attack is going to be opened through the nineteenth.
Speaker 2: So you're saying, if you're good at I rasing, you
Speaker 2: can pay for college.
Speaker 1: I am saying that if you're good at I racing
Speaker 1: and you're in college, you can pay for.
Speaker 2: Ah, there's the cab.
Speaker 3: You already have to be representing our college. Yeah, got it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, still still pretty good deal.
Speaker 4: It's still a pretty good deal.
Speaker 3: We run about really good deal. Let's be honest. It's
Speaker 3: not pretty good.
Speaker 2: It's really it's about Kevin. You pay help you have
Speaker 2: kidd in college?
Speaker 3: Right? Oh yeah, Connor, why don't you get good at
Speaker 3: KI racing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys want to talk about eight or nine?
Speaker 1: I mean it is a nine race season. Eight of
Speaker 1: those races open qualifiers through time attacks through you know,
Speaker 1: and those are four with the x Findy car and
Speaker 1: I believe four with the truck. And then the ninth
Speaker 1: race is based on the season points and the top
Speaker 1: drivers will be invited to the finale on April.
Speaker 4: Which that's the Xfindy car.
Speaker 3: Got it?
Speaker 1: And that is also Homestead because Homestead is basically just
Speaker 1: our mecca for season finales and rightfully so that track
Speaker 1: race is awesome and just about anything NASCAR. So uh yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of you'll see a lot of Coke Series
Speaker 1: names run through that series as well, you know, and
Speaker 1: then a lot of guys that are in on that
Speaker 1: road to pro So it's it's a good interesting mix
Speaker 1: of drivers that always runs that championship and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing that get started.
Speaker 2: That has a little different feel than the the NASCAR
Speaker 2: series and it's it's a lot of fun to watch.
Speaker 2: I enjoy that one a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then lastly, Kevin Racing Prodigy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Racing Prodigy is a program that we've been
Speaker 3: helping out for the last year or so. Their organization
Speaker 3: puts people sim racers in real cars and they're developing
Speaker 3: a series. And it's not just you get a test
Speaker 3: and tune day. It's like they're putting a full series together.
Speaker 3: You can qualify multiple ways. I Racing seems to be
Speaker 3: the main way people are getting in. You know, we've
Speaker 3: seen this time and time again where I racing skills
Speaker 3: literally transfer right into a real world car. So mixing
Speaker 3: it up a little bit this season and the fan
Speaker 3: Attack Global MX five Cup series is now a qualifier,
Speaker 3: So I think we're given our Prodigy is giving I
Speaker 3: think four spots golden tickets to get into the final
Speaker 3: stage of qualifying. So there'll be a lot of opportunities
Speaker 3: for eye racers who want to go real world racing
Speaker 3: to get in there. So check that out. We have
Speaker 3: it's listed in the series description and I think we
Speaker 3: put it in a story as well. Because there is
Speaker 3: a registration required on Racing Prodigy to you're not automatically
Speaker 3: and you have to go register with them. Make sure
Speaker 3: you do that. But it's pretty simple, but a great opportunity.
Speaker 3: There's they're a really good partner. They they're they're really
Speaker 3: serious about this, right, There's been a lot of people
Speaker 3: that have come and gone try to do this. Racing
Speaker 3: Prodigy is legit. They're they're getting people in cars, they're
Speaker 3: they're you know, they're gonna turn some people into real
Speaker 3: world racing careers, which is which is really cool to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can find that info on the I Racing
Speaker 1: website under the series page for the Global m X
Speaker 1: five Cup. But also if you're on the right series,
Speaker 1: when you look at the series info in the I
Speaker 1: Racing UI, you'll know if you're if you're in a
Speaker 1: different m x five series, you won't see the copy
Speaker 1: for it. So if you see that Racing Prodigy copy you're.
Speaker 3: In ther it's the regular one, not the advanced one.
Speaker 4: Correct.
Speaker 3: So you can also go to racing Prodigy dot com
Speaker 3: for more information. That wasn't there, But it wasn't that
Speaker 3: I just wined it.
Speaker 2: It was not.
Speaker 3: That's their web address, and there's you know, there's nothing.
Speaker 2: You hear about closing out the show. I don't even
Speaker 2: know what we have to do.
Speaker 3: It says sign It says sign of sign off through
Speaker 3: the page.
Speaker 2: Hey, a couple of things though, because I don't know
Speaker 2: when we're gonna be doing the next show here, but
Speaker 2: we have a lot coming up over the next month,
Speaker 2: we do, Yeah, Kevin and I are going to be
Speaker 2: heading over We'll be the SIM Racing Expo in Germany. Yes,
Speaker 2: the question mark, the real important question mark is whether
Speaker 2: we're going to that Dortmund.
Speaker 3: I know, we got to find a time. I'd love
Speaker 3: to go see dortmand.
Speaker 2: I mean it's one hundred feet away from the hotel. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: why I have to take a launch break or something.
Speaker 3: And how long is the games? Ninety minutes? Two hours? Yeah?
Speaker 2: You have your hat on right now?
Speaker 4: Do I need to tell Vince to fly over there
Speaker 4: for you guys, just in case you have any more.
Speaker 2: Kevin's renting the car.
Speaker 3: No, we're taking ubers everywhere from Amsterdam.
Speaker 2: We're taking an uber.
Speaker 3: It would be cheaper than what the fine was for
Speaker 3: the last fire.
Speaker 2: It was not fine, it was something else.
Speaker 3: I guess we're moving on. Were rented a car yet?
Speaker 2: No, we're rock, paper scissors or something for renting car.
Speaker 2: And then I believe me and Steve Myers will be
Speaker 2: at the FIA Motorsport Games the following week and the
Speaker 2: line see uh hosting a bunch of race I think
Speaker 2: twenty four different kinds of real world racing. But you
Speaker 2: also have an on site competition with the fi F
Speaker 2: four and so that'll be a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: I'll be in Charlotte too for the NASCAR, So meeting
Speaker 3: greets not really.
Speaker 2: Steve's already sending me restaurants.
Speaker 3: So is always a priority when you travel with Steve.
Speaker 2: He made that really clear. So yeah, a lot of
Speaker 2: fun there, and uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah they should go on any races and uh next month.
Speaker 1: Well we've talked a little bit about nitro across Utah.
Speaker 3: But who wants to go to Utah? Oh?
Speaker 2: Wait, everybody is.
Speaker 3: That at the old Miller whatever they call it.
Speaker 1: Miller Motorsports Park, Yeah, Utah motors They've They've built out
Speaker 1: a cool, little.
Speaker 3: A huge campus. I've been there since the facility.
Speaker 1: The thing for Mitchell, because we're hoping that he'll be back,
Speaker 1: is that we might have to do some playing around
Speaker 1: with his on track schedule to make sure that he
Speaker 1: can still run the pest contender race at Laguna that day.
Speaker 4: We'll figure it out.
Speaker 3: The first world problem.
Speaker 2: Definitely hate hate first world problems.
Speaker 3: Greg, Do you have a first world problem? You want
