Hi fellow UCR sim racers!
We announced the fall UCR Sim season a couple weeks ago! The fall season is 8 weeks long and started Oct 29th. You can still join us!
We are 2 races into the season and would be happy to welcome you. Our next race is Sunday at 8pm. There are 2 drop races which means you won’t be at a disadvantage for race points if you join on or before Nov 12th. 🙂
If you are like me, Pete – your UCR sim racing chairperson, you’ve had little to no real sim racing seat time over the summer. Our fall season will help you warm up in preparation for PCA Series 11 coming in the new year.
Or if you are new to sim racing, you can learn more on our updated web page – UCR Sim Racing 2023. You can also see our Sim Racing Primer for more info.
Joe threw his hat into the ring to create our fall season schedule. He is very passionate about running a season that is more laid back than the PCA National series and focuses on skill building while having fun. The UCR sim admin team agreed that we wanted a season that is more inclusive – racing where any UCR’er can arrive, drive, and enjoy the fun of sim racing – without the need to practice for hours ahead of race day.
