Locked On iRacingAuthor: Locked On Lads
Australia based podcasters take a look at the world of iRacing from their perspective each week. The podcasts will be about 90 minutes long and cover updates to the simulator, gear for the simulator, competitive racing and maybe some real-life racing. We have now got a dedicated section to interviews with some of the biggest names in the iRacing scene out of Australia for Broadcasters, to manufactures, to league operators and creators, to content creators, artists and even drivers. We will also be getting interviews with winners of league races so you get an insight into the drivers we are talking about. Make sure you check in to every episode as we have some great guests lined up to join us as well. The hosts mainly drive road courses so we will cover that aspect of the simulator is much more depth than the rest. Language: en Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |
