Cayman GT4 – PCA Sim Racing

The Tip Jar – Installment 8

Sage SIM advice from fellow PCA Sim iRacers!

by Dean Chapman, Northern New Jersey Region PCA

What do you ensure you always do before a race?

Rafael Amorim, “I always like to check my general setup and more specifically fuel load and brake bias.”

Karl Bocchieri, “One race last season my computer crashed just as I was signing on, got everything back but didn’t even qualify and had a terrible race. Now I sign on and make sure the equipment is working well before the race.”

Chris Ciborowski, “Practice, hydrate, and be sure that the rig systems/software are ready to go. Right before, relax.”

2020 Turkey Trot

By Chris Paiz, Lone Star Region

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving saw PCA Sim Racing drivers compete in a fun exhibition race at Road Atlanta, the Turkey Trot.

The one-hour, multi-class race was put on by the Central Zone Group (Zones 5, 10 & 13) to get drivers from all over North America together during the winter off-season. Within the first twenty minutes of registration, the field hit capacity with over sixty drivers ultimately taking to the grid. Skill levels of drivers varied in this event with all four PCA driver classes represented.
