The Virtual One gaming community announced its '80s Touring Car Series a few days ago. With a fantastic mix of cars and tracks, this could prove to be a brilliant race package – and it's one that I had to share too! Posted on our forums at the weekend by zombiewoof following the initial announcement, I added a summary for easy reading. Several pages of rules and information … [Read more...]
TCR 2014 4H of LeMons
If all goes to plan, Team ORD will be competing in the TCR 2014 4H of LeMons race on Sunday, December 28th.

VM Classic Series 7 reports – Rounds 2 to 5
It's been a hectic few weeks, so it made sense to collect the recent Virtual Motorsport Classic Series races into one update.
