Excited to get in the commentary booth with a title fight on our hands this weekend. Perfect scenario for a big finale

With all the recent racing releases being somewhat disasters is it time to play older racing games?

RaceRoom looks like it's coming along real good?

My voice is about to be on Sky TV again!

Pretty cool to have the Aus/NZ endurance series race I commentated and produced going up on Sky at 2pm today. It's a channel no one knew existed and it's only the first hour not proper highlights but still that's dang neato if you ask me

Had a lot of fun in the commentary booth last week with the AUS/NZ Endurance Series.
Made the mistake of mentioning how clean the front cars were at the 1hr mark which was the last time I did that 🤣

A couple months late to this one but how cool is it to have NZ brand Racetech as a sponsor option in iRacings paint booth.
Trading paints does make it a little irrelevant but I still think it's pretty sweet!

iRacing ovals is so funny because how did I go from this on lap 2 to finishing 2nd 😆 🥈

Added a number plate to my sim rig. It's dumb but I love it 😄
Working on some useful upgrades too 😜

I've finally gone and done it 🎉
Now I can continue racing MX5s and 86s but with more swag 🤪

Having a lot of fun with the motor motion series this year. Was behind the scenes producing this one. Always fun learning a few new tricks from a new broadcast package

Taupo Supercars 2025. An awesome day
April 13, 2025 at 8:25 AM
Had some fun spectating last weekend

Lemons is hectic. This was a 9 to 5 race so budget cars on track for 8 hours doing hundreds of laps. Including running the track backwards for half the day 🤣

Timaru is now one of my favourite tracks. So much fun sending it in MX5s around there last weekend

In 2023 it was $20,000, in 2024 that went up to $30,000+ won by kiwi sim racers!
Huge!
Awesome to see kiwi drivers like Matt McEwen and Cameron Fleming rewarded for their success with cash, international trips, and real world race car test days

2024 Year in Review - $30,000+ in prizes for kiwi sim racers
It’s that time again to look back at the year that was. It was almost a year of two halves with kiwi sim racing success throughout. Early in the year we saw...

Nice to think I've still got some speed left in me

Want a closer look at the commentary box?

Here’s a tour I made at Spa last year, featuring covered up windows because this one had no air con!
