iRacing reaches 35,000 paying members

July 24, 2012 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

iRacing has now reached 35,000 active members, showing the growth in one of the most committed areas of online racing. It's a step beyond some of the more popular motorsport games, and although the total number is relatively small, it includes a large number of professional racing drivers such as Dale Earnhardt Jnr, Justin Wilson, Alex Gurney and Shave van Gisbergen. “35,000 … [Read more...]

How virtual, is real…

February 24, 2012 By GTDon 2 Comments

Recently it was made known that a certain dear member of the Forza community sadly passed away the other day. Said to be a fine painter, and known as an avid racer, "TMZ Ramoza" from Mexico will be missed by many. The specific tragic details of how he left this world (and I don't know them) won't be nearly as important as his stay here was, and the impression he … [Read more...]

OnlineRaceDriver honoured to be CVG’s Site of the Week

CVGs Site of the Week OnlineRaceDriver

We're incredibly pleased and honoured to have been picked by the legendary Computer and Videogames site as their 'Site of the Week'. It's a regular series recommending the best gaming websites around, and tends to showcase those who really specialise and know their subject. So it's a priviledge to be featured alongside such good company, and it's also really nice after the … [Read more...]

“Your Ambition Outweighs Your Talent”

April 11, 2011 By TomBowker 3 Comments

“Your Ambition Outweighs Your Talent” Ok hands up – who has got overexcited at the start of a race, braked too late for the first corner and punted someone off? Oh good, it’s not just me then. We’ve all done it. Not that I meant to, and I am very sorry to those that I hit… I just got a bit… ambitious. As Casey Stoner said to Valentino Rossi after The Doctor lost control of … [Read more...]

Why I founded OnlineRaceDriver.com

April 7, 2011 By Dan Thornton 3 Comments

The last three months have been great for OnlineRaceDriver. We celebrated our first year anniversary in January, which coincided with a big increase in traffic, which has kept going for the last three months, and shows no sign of slowing down. We published a load of stories, added a forum (which you should go and register on, as it's been quiet so far, but we've got some big … [Read more...]

OnlineRaceDriver.com celebrates it’s first birthday

January 26, 2011 By Dan Thornton 7 Comments

Having been a gamer for roughly 28 years, and a journalist for over 10, I'd thought about starting videogame sites for a long time - in fact my first paid freelance work was for the Official Dreamcast Magazine a long time ago. But it was just over a year ago I finally put some of my ideas into practice and got together with a few people to launch OnlineRaceDriver.com. The … [Read more...]

ORD reviews Codemaster’s F1 2010 – 4.5/5

September 26, 2010 By TomBowker 8 Comments

F1 2010 Mercedes and Force Indi screenshot

Well, where do you begin? After all the hype and expectation, the first Formula One game for four years has arrived. Much was hoped for when Codemasters obtained the licence - a company with a good track record in making great racing games, and their style is immediately apparent when you boot up the game. The presentation and menus are all beautifully presented - clean and … [Read more...]

Production class rebuilds my love for Forza Motorsport 3 online

September 20, 2010 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

Online Race Driver logo in Forza Motorsport 3

One of the good things about Forza Motorsport 2 was the fact that the host of a room could force everyone to use the same car – meaning that you could create races in standard models with no tuning to give everyone equal machinery. While Forza Motorsport 3 (ORD’s FM3 Review) allowed that in private lobbies, in the general online rooms you were stuck until recently. And it’s … [Read more...]

Time for the commentary to cease

August 9, 2010 By TomBowker Leave a Comment

Time for the commentary to cease

Often confusing, irritating and hilarious in equal measures, commentary in racing games has for too long been appalling. The PlayStation’s F1 ‘97 was legendary for all the wrong reasons. Murray Walker is, in my opinion, the greatest commentator of all time in any sport, but the game made him out to be some kind of maniac hell-bent on listing who the top-ten drivers were at … [Read more...]

Why iRace…

Daytona 500 iRacing crash by jbspec7 on Flickr

There is a fundamental need in all of us that drives us to be great, to be the best and god willing be recognized as such.  It is a driving force in our lives and without it; we would all aspire to absolutely nothing.  It is the reason we have great athletes and the reason kids can admire those athletes.  We all want to be great. I have followed quite a few sports in my life … [Read more...]

Power of association in online racing

May 29, 2010 By GTDon 7 Comments

Like any organization, the same rules apply when creating a racing club. The general focus is to bring together like-minded competitors under one roof. This usually starts with a particular theme the club founder wants to pursue, --a kind of vision of the temperament, character, and goals of the club. The first simulation racing clubs were formed when Xbox Live hit the tarmac … [Read more...]
