This week we welcome Jamie Skella to the iRacing podcast to discuss his new venture in iRacing. Trax Racing. We talk to Jamie all about Trax racing that pits drivers against a rival for the season that they are tasked in beating each week and over the 4 week season. Trax Racing has so far seen an invitational series with some pro drivers and some of the best sim racers and content creators joining in to beat their rival. It is a great concept and a fascinating discussion on how it all came about. We then get to chat to Jamie all about the Melbourne and Australian eSports scene and where iRacing fits into that, and what the future may hold for eSports and racing sims in the future in Australia. We look into the difference between real-life sports and eSports and how they should be working together but don't seem to be. Finally, we chat about what it is like opening the eSports gaming bar, GG EZ, and where that may head into the future. After our chat with Jamie, we discuss all the latest results in the iRacing world from the Australian perspective and chat about leagues such as Ozicar, Anzcar, ODSE, in2sim switch up series and of course, all the action from the latest V8 Scops round. We also look at the latest patch notes and a little problem appearing in a few drivers over the previous weeks regarding stutter while racing.
