Will add more (especially drivers’ personal streams) as I find them and confirm a couple of these later once their streams are live. (not sure what the deal is with the Twitch embedded links at the moment, but it’s not unique to MEW… I’ve seen the same issue on various sites at the moment.)

And there’s more Sim Racing coming soon… the annual Race of Champions is going entirely virtual as well this year

And there’s a chance for you (insert name of any one of the many alien MEW Assetto Coprsa sim racers here) to take part:

Fans of sim racing can register for free and have until 25 June to set their fastest hotlaps on a virtual version of the 2019 Race Of Champions track in the highly realistic sim racing game Assetto Corsa. The ROC tracks and cars will be available for download free of charge…

They have until 25 June to register for free and set a hotlap on the ROC Mexico track. The fastest two drivers will take on former eROC champions Enzo Bonito and James Baldwin during the Virtual ROC livestream. The winner then proceeds to the main event.

And by the looks of the current top 3 on the leaderboard, you’re not restricted to the number of laps you can post:

Pos Driver Time Gap Laps
1 Ethan Dean 0:50.909 82
2 Andika Rama Maulana 0:50.919 + 00.010 62
3 Josh Purwien 0:51.795 + 00.886 40

Sign up for free here: https://www.raceofchampions.com/virtual-roc-2020/eroc-2020-registration/
(presumably you’ll then get links to the ROC cars and the ROC Mexico circuit to use - if anyone does, please share them for the rest of us to play with :slight_smile: )

Follow the eROC leaderboard here: https://www.raceofchampions.com/virtual-roc-2020/eroc-2020-leaderboard/

I stand corrected, saw Sheldon post about the race and assume he was in there too.

What’s up with Alonso?

At the time of writing he is 5 laps behind and have been in the pits now for a very very long time.
