Title: My hobby/Lenny the lion goes racing
Post by: Machungwa63 on March 13, 2019, 06:04:01 pm
If you've watched any of my YouTube videos you've probably figured out that I love motor racing. Well, I'm also in an official iRacing Series called the Lionheart IndyCar Series. What makes iRacing different from a regular racing video game? Well, it's made to be as realistic as possible. Professional racing drivers use it to practice, professional mechanics use it to make car setup changes, artists use it to design car liveries and video people use it to create broadcasts. Every car on track is another person playing somewhere else in the world.
The Lionheart IndyCar Series is one such series that is broadcast and there's lots of cool prizes on the line. The champion (who will probably not be me, I finished 13th/50 in the points last season) gets $300+. Our series starts Wednesday night and the race will be broadcast live here: https://youtu.be/h4HnwaRFtc8
My real name is Samuel and I will be driving an obnoxiously loud orange and yellow car with green wheels so it will be hard to miss (picture below). I also may run a race later on in the season with my Machungwa63 logo on the car if possible. Just wanted to share this here in case anyone is interested in watching later tonight (broadcast starts at 10:45p ET). Here's mah ride:
And yes, I'm totally calling that yellow lion on the side, Lenny.

I'll drop by, perhaps. If I can remember to do it and If I'm not busy with anything else. It sounds interesting! That looks like a dope racing game. It's a nice hobby that you got, and car aswell. ;D

That game looks very realistic! You have a very sweet car design as well. Maybe I'll check out the broadcast when the time comes. Other than that, best of luck to you! c:

Hey guys, thanks for your comments. Unfortunately there were technical difficulties with the link I posted yesterday but the full broadcast is now up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4HnwaRFtc8
I finished 15th/42 cars which isn't a bad way to start a championship campaign (there are 24 races through December). And... for those of you just wanting to watch the wrecks... they happen on Lap 1, 45, 68 and 78 >D
