Welcome to F-R Racing Online

F-R Racing is a Sim Racing Team and was started by two long-time friends who decided that they wanted to break into the racing world as team owners. Unfortunately, they both lacked the proper funding and experience to start a team. When the iRacing system came along, this became the opportunity for F-R Racing to become a real thing. You can learn more about us here.

We’re using this opportunity to learn and document our process as we enter the world of eRacing through iRacing and we’re going to use the site news page to share our progress and document the mistakes we make on the way, so if we ultimately inspire you to start your own team that you won’t make the same mistakes we make.

Wednesday Night Dash

In 2022, F-R Racing launched its first league on the iRacing platform known as Wednesday Night Dash (WND). Many league races require a 2-3 hour time commitment per week to race, plus additional practice time. D.J. and Erik saw the demand for a league that only takes an hour, added a prize purse for the top finishers, and includes a live play-by-play broadcast every week on StadiumScene.TV!

F-R Racing

Two long time friends from central Indiana have had a dream to own a racing team, but they lack the funding and experience to do this.

Thanks to iRacing, the dream has come true. We’ll be using our blog and our YouTube channel to document our progress as we build this brand.

It’s going to be ugly at times, but we hope that you’ll learn from our mistakes and that we inspire you to get out and do the same.

So maybe Darlington wasn't the best idea for the first race of the truck season. After this lap one incident there was a little rust to shake off. In the end we only had one caution and the racing generally was solid! No WD-40 was needed this week! This week the trucks head to the legendary oval of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 10pm ET only on @stadiumscene TV! #WNDonSSTV #iracing #crash #iracingcrash #truckseries #darlington

The iRacing Indy Racing World Series final lap went out with a bang last week when Hunter Hughes and Jax Malan made contact on the front stretch just after the leaders took the white flag. #IRWSonSSTV #crash #iracingcrash #gaming #simracing #indycar #short
I have no idea how we went from talking about Formula 1 and Sim Racing on Erik's birthday to ending up in a discussion about cult classic movies and Napoleon Dynamite all in a span of 20 minutes and we recorded a record-long one-hour and 45-minute show. If you're willing to sit through it like we were, you can watch or listen to it right now! 📺 https://youtu.be/K_T-EMZmbcE 📻 https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/frracingonline Catch the replay at 2 pm ET Saturday on @stadiumscene! #garagetalk #napoleondynamite #formula1 #nascar #short
If you watched the racing over the weekend you were left pretty bummed out. Bristol was a bust, Long Beach IndyCar was pretty boring, Oscar Piastri ran away with the F1 race in Bahrain. The IMSA race at Long Beach was arguably the most compelling. Yet somehow we go way off course and spend probably more than half of our first ever marathon episode discussing everything else. If you decide to skip this episode, we don't blame you. We kick off the show discussing Kyle Larson's eye opening comments about how he likes racing in the Xfinity Series so he can embarrass the drivers, but unlike some of the talking heads, we discuss the context around the click bait headline and why it's a good thing he "embarrasses the kids" and how it happened to him when he was a youngster in the series. We dig into the history books and look at some of the Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity Series drivers who were good or great in the series, but never made it in the Cup Series. Next we move on and discuss the drama with every team except for maybe Haas (weird, I know?) and after discussing where Max may end up next season we go off topic for a bulk of the rest of the show. It starts off with Erik getting ready to celebrate his 40th birthday next week and a simple question is "Isn't Happy Birthday To You" now in the public domain? Answer: It is as of 2015. You know who else is in the public domain now? The original Winnie The Pooh which led to a low budget horror film involving Winnie the Pooh as the bad guy. In our now regular segment of TV and Movie updates, we talk about cult classic and movies that were terrible but we liked them anyway. Erik talks about "The Tree of Life" and D.J. mentions a movie of the old TV Show "McHale's Navy" staring Tom Arnold, David Alan Grier, and the great Tim Curry. We do get back on the racing talk looking at the confirmed entry list for the 109th Indianapolis 500 and D.J. asks the question about why is there little to no marketing for the IMSA Series? Only 81000 people watched the Long Beach race on Saturday on USA and it's absolutely mind blowing that with Americans loving sports cars why they don't market that to anyone. Finally, we close out the show talking about D.J.'s car getting hit while stopped at a stop light last weekend. Everyone is fine and the car is mostly ok, but consider it a PSA about paying attention while driving. ⏱️⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️⏱️: 00:00:00 - Cold Open 00:08:43 - NASCAR and Xfinity Series Highlights 00:17:38 - Formula 1 Drama and Team Dynamics 00:26:53 - Public Domain and Copyright in Media 00:35:38 - Exploring Cult Classic Films 00:44:28 - IndyCar Racing and Strategy Analysis 00:53:23 - IMSA Racing Marketing and Sports Car Enthusiasm 01:02:42 - Collectibles and Memorabilia Discussion 01:11:13 - Beer Culture and Regional Brews 01:19:42 - NASCAR Race Strategies and Challenges 01:28:17 - Car Accidents and Insurance Stories 01:37:04 - Upcoming Racing Events and Adjustments =========== Catch all things F-R Racing: [Website](https://www.frracingonline.com) | [Facebook](https://facebook.com/frracingonline) | [Instagram](https://instagram.com/frracingonline) | [TikTok](https://tiktok.com/@frracingonline) 🎧 **Listen to the Episode:** Available in Podcast Format: [Listen Here](https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/frracingonline) 🚀 The iRacing Indy Racing World Series is back on Tuesdays!

When life gives you a broken foot, you go to the broadcast booth. In this week's episode of F-R Racing's Garage Talk, D.J. discusses finding out about his broken foot two weeks after urgent care called it a sprain and how that turned into a trip to the broadcast booth!

We're back with another episode of F-R Racing's Garage Talk. In this week's episode we go over how BORING the F1 Japanese Grand Prix was, throwback weekend at Darlington, and D.J. broke his foot. To kick off the show, we announce our brand new partner, Nixon Watch Company. We're excited to become part of the Nixon family and proud to call Nixon the official watch of F-R Racing. To learn more, visit https://frracingonline.com/nixon (affiliate link). Next up, we address the elephant in the room of why D.J. was back in the broadcast booth for the Indy Racing World Series race at Mid-Ohio. What D.J. was originally told was a left foot sprain, was actually a small break and during his testing/practice for Mid-Ohio his foot swelled up so he opted to sit this one out. It worked out ok because Taka forgot his Display Port to HDMI adapter and only had one monitor, shifting D.J. over to the first seat for the event. Next, we discuss how the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix was incredibly BORING to the point even Oscar Piastri was surprised by the lack of highlights while in the cooldown room. There was more interesting drama during practice and qualification including Max Verstappen's unexpected record breaking lap in Q3. After that, we discuss NASCAR throwback weekend at Darlington. How was the race? Is throwback weekend still necessary? If they do continue with it, what should the limit be? We close it out talking about what's on TV including the Amazon Prime series "First to the Finish" featuring friend of the show, MX-5 Cup driver Heather Hadley. D.J. made it through episode one and hopes to finish the next episodes in the next week. He also discusses how you should be watching "The Studio" on Apple TV+. ⏱️⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️⏱️: 00:00:00 - Introduction to Garage Talk and Racing Discussions 00:09:22 - Max Verstappen's Record-Breaking Performance 00:18:48 - Alpine Team's Unexpected Lack of Points 00:28:08 - Challenges of iRacing and Personal Experiences 00:37:28 - NASCAR and IndyCar Schedule Insights 00:46:52 - Nostalgic NASCAR Paint Schemes and Memories 00:56:30 - Seth Rogen's New AppleTV+ Show, "The Studio" 01:06:05 - Upcoming Racing Events and Podcast Announcements =========== Catch all things F-R Racing: [Website](https://www.frracingonline.com) | [Facebook](https://facebook.com/frracingonline) | [Instagram](https://instagram.com/frracingonline) | [TikTok](https://tiktok.com/@frracingonline) 🎧 **Listen to the Episode:** Available in Podcast Format: [Listen Here](https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/frracingonline) 🚀 The iRacing Indy Racing World Series is back on Tuesdays!
