Shift 2: Unleashed release delayed, and Pagani Huayra exclusive revealed
We're eagerly awaiting the release of Shift 2: Unleashed to try out the novel approach to night racing, and to see if splitting the Need for Speed series into the simulater Shift series (which loses the Need for Speed title), and the more arcade fun of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit has paid off. But it appears we'll have to wait a little longer than planned. Although a … [Read more...]
ORD Racing: IFCA ALMS Update: Nurburgring Grand Prix Practice
Unfortunately family commitments meant that I had to miss Race #4 Nurburgring Nordschliefe, which was incredibly frustrating. Not only was it going to be a challenging race with a chance other drivers might struggle, but it turns out that a reasonable result would have lifted me up into the top 10 in the GT class. Dammit! If I'd had to choose a circuit to skip, in all honesty … [Read more...]

ORD Racing: IFCA ALMS Series Race #3 Road America
If you're really eagle-eyed, you might have noticed there wasn't the customary midweek practice update for ORD Racing. Mainly because a quick 15 lap blast around Road America was all I could manage thanks to work and family commitments, and as a result, I stuck with the stock set-up for the BMW GT2 M3. That's not entirely a bad thing, as I'm pretty accustomed to the way it … [Read more...]
ORD Racing: IFCA ALMS Series Race #2 Mugello Full
As you can probably tell by my choice of photo to illustrate this update, my second race saw ORD Racing take its first chequered flag of the IFCA ALMS Series. And that's despite the fact I ended up hosting the race lobby due to a number of competitors not being able to make the start. The DNF from the first race had put me in one of the final two lobbies for Mugello, and the … [Read more...]
