Yes, that would help. We are negotiating with a person right now who does track mods for sims for a living. Any pictures or video will help.

We are updating the Gimli track in our simulators and need video or pictures of the track since the resurfacing. The more angles, the better. Post here or link to the videos or email to info@speedworld.ca Thank you

Correct!

Always nice to see the club newsletter

JXB released their annual video about Nats, it's worth a watch and see if you can spot me, I make two appearances. 2025 SCCA SOLO NATIONALS

I want to scan the Camaro so I can design canards and diffuser for it. I’m willing to pay or trade for sim/kart time at Speedworld. Can anyone help?

If you enjoy autocross at all, you need to make the pilgramage to the holy land of Lincoln, Nebraska at least one time. There are two big events every year, the Tour in May (called SpringNationals) and Nationals in September. SpringNats has about 350 competitors and Nationals has 1300 competitors. There is a test course set up and you can wear a set of tires out over there if you choose. The event consists of running the East Course 3 times and the West course 3 times and they take your best time on each course and combine them. The courses are massive.. They are so big that 4 or 5 cars are on each course at the same time and there is a 15 second gap between them. Nationals has all kinds of social activities like a talent show, beer exchange and block party. This years theme at Nationals is "Rock and Roll" so expect a lot of people dressed up as rock stars and cars/golf carts decorated in rock and roll themed liveries. Here is my video from this years SpringNationals GREAT EVENT-AMAZING RESULTS

We run Assetto Corsa now and I don't know yet if we will run Evo, it will depend on a few things

Sorry, I don't have the link

All you really need is an accurate tire pressure gauge, I prefer the digital ones and the one I use can be found here. A large sun hat and a battery or cigarette lighter powered compressor are nice to have for adjusting pressures and a small cooler to bring your lunch in is also handy. if you're concerned about scuffing your car on a pylon, Princess Auto sells a hard surface protective film that is easy to apply and pulls right off after the event.

Mark Sawatsky Member #1598 keeping #99 this year Briget Sawatsky Member #6206 would like #8 if it becomes available

Want to keep the racing going over the winter? We are offering sim leagues for up to 4 people at a time (for now, soon to be up to 8 people). Choose your day, time and frequency (once a week or every two weeks or even once a month) and each time you and your friends show up, we'll have a track and car picked out for your group and you will do a qualifier and a race for position. The car and track will change every week and will be a surprise to prevent anyone from practicing at home and gaining an advantage. $60.00 per person per event and you'll get 60 minutes of racing

I have been lucky enough to run the Gimli track in some pretty cool cars like a Porsche GT3RS so when we got the sims at Speedworld, I was curious how close the car and track on the sims compared to the real thing. Well, I was surprised to find that when I race the sim GT3RS at Gimli, I set the exact time (1:03) that I did in real life. Of course, in the sims there is no consequence for crashing so I started to explore what was possible if I didn't care about wrecking a quarter million dollar car. It turns out that I could chop a couple of seconds off when I tried some new racing lines and braking points. So, what I am suggesting is that if you want to go quicker around Gimli next season, try to find a car on our sims that is similar to what you usually run and spend some time this winter trying some new things. Or, just spend some time on the sims to stay sharp. We have 200 cars so there's got to be something that is similar to what you drive and if we don't have anything similar, tell us what we should add and we will try to get it.
