What a crazy week of racing on the iRacing platform. We spend the majority of this week’s show looking over the footage from Wednesday Night Dash. We’re calling it the Daytona iRacing Review. We also go into some big news in Formula 1, an IndyCar driver released from their contract, and more!
Wednesday Night Dash Film Session at Daytona, Malukas Released, Newey Leaves Red Bull
Today’s we’re joined by our Business Manager, Takato Timmerman because we needed to breakdown the Wednesday Night Dash race from Daytona. Video of this episode will be released at 8pm ET on May 3rd. But first, we briefly break down the news of Arrow McLaren releasing David Malukas from his contract as a result of missing the first four races of the season due to injury.
Second, in big breaking Formula 1 news, long time Red Bull F1 legendary car designer, Adrian Newey announces his departure from the team. The bulk of the episode we review the video from Wednesday Night Dash at Daytona on May 1st, 2024 (available @stadiumscene).
The rarely used “Superspeedway Caution” was thrown on lap 3 of the race and the competition caution was shifted by three laps due to a big wreck. In all, three large wrecks occurred in the 40 lap race and we wanted to learn more why and what can be done to prevent this in the future. This session is not meant as a knock or insult on anyone or their driving.
Our next community GT race is GT3s from Bathurst at 9am ET, Saturday May 11th. Join our Discord below and ask for an invite to our Community Race!
