Bye, Jr Wins Charlotte ITZR Trucks Series Race

The InTheZoneRacing.com Truck Series took to the iRacing.com version of the Charlotte Motor Speedway for race number five in the 14 race inaugural season.  24 sim racers posted times in qualifying with first time ITZR racers Chris Keogh of Illinois and David Rattler filling-out the front row, with subsequently Keogh jumping to an early lead around the 1.5 mile high-banked speedway at the green flag. Last week’s winner Trenton Moriarity of Washington struck trouble early when he spun off Turn Four and collided with the outside wall. The incident also collected John Hensley, ending both drivers’ races on Lap Seven.  Nine laps later, Jeremy Davis of New England (who stood third in the series points standings entering the race) spun and triggered a chain reaction crash involving Rattler and John-Michael [...]

Across the Pond

The inRacingNews Challenge took its penultimate round across the pond, spending this past week on the International layout of the famed Silverstone Circuit. Week 11 of 12 marked the online racing series’ third and final visit to the track, after the Pontiac Solstices and SpecRacer Fords took on the National layout in Week Four and Southern layout in Week Eight. With only one week left in the championship, it?s safe to say that most of the divisional championships are pretty well set, while season-long favorites Chris Hughson (Solstice) and Gabriel Tobar (Ford) should go home with the championships in their respective classes. Both celebrated with class-pacing weeks ? Tobar scoring 169 points after leading all 14 laps of his lone race victory and Hughson taking home a magnificent 209 by [...]

Alonso convinced Ferrari can catch up

Fernando Alonso says he still has absolute faith in Ferrari's ability to turn its poor start to 2011 around given its history of mid-season improvement. Despite looking strong in testing, Ferrari has yet to take a podium finish after three rounds of this season's championship, and Alonso is already 42 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel in the standings, with Ferrari's second driver Felipe Massa a further two points behind Alonso
