Retrospective

We’re back into the World Tour with Tier 30 this week in my TOCA Race Driver 3 Let’s Play. Rick, hang on to your hat because we’re flying towards the finish of this series. Last week, I started my 4×4 Off Road Tour career at the Brands Hatch Rallycross course. I didn’t score any points…Continue reading “WATCH: Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3, Episode 26”»

There’s no more fooling around. I’m on the 29th Tier of my TOCA Race Driver 3 Let’s Play with only three more Tiers after this. If the 28th Tier was any indication, I need to step up my game and get serious. I didn’t score a single point in the last episode. I need to…Continue reading “WATCH: Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3, Episode 25”»

I’m finding Tier 29 of my Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3 to be my biggest challenge yet. We’re back at it again with the nineties Williams F1 after finding the struggle bus last time out. I restarted and grabbed a podium finish to close out the episode last week at Hockenheim. All I need…Continue reading “WATCH: Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3, Episode 24”»

After graduating from the Formula 3 in the last episode, this week’s Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3 places me in a mid-nineties Formula 1 racer. Tier 28 only yields two options with the Williams F1 or with V8 Supercars, the latter I’ve driven back in episode 14. John Traxion did very well with the…Continue reading “WATCH: Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3, Episode 23”»

Unfortunately, many racing venues across the globe have seen their final race. Among the historic racing venues that have been around for years, there are many more that no longer operate at any capacity. The idea of a “lost speedway” isn’t a new concept. Dale Earnhardt Jr hosts a show that discusses defunct race tracks…Continue reading “WATCH: 8 Real Racing Tracks Saved by Sim Racing”»

Third time is the charm, right? Tier 27 hasn’t been the easiest in this Let’s Play for TOCA Race Driver 3. The GT Tuning Cup was fun, but difficult to master. The Dodge stock cars slid around too much, which cost too much time. Now, our last shot at moving up to the next tier…Continue reading “WATCH: Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3, Episode 22”»

I’m back at it again with the GT Tuning Cup that I started in the last episode of Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3. I took on Spa-Francorchamps in the brightly painted livery for Durham Motorsport driving an 800 BHP Koenig GT-D. Unfortunately, I was just outside the points with a seventh place finish. Race…Continue reading “WATCH: Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3, Episode 21”»

Remember the trouble I got myself into in the very first episode of Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3? In Tier 2, I chose the MG Team Rally Shield and kept torturing myself in the absolutely bizarre MG ZR Super 1600 until I finally passed. Then in episode 7, Tier 12 had the Historic Group…Continue reading “WATCH: Let’s Play TOCA Race Driver 3, Episode 20”»

The eNASCAR Pro Invitational iRacing Series was a welcome sight at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other live sports and entertainment, real racing became indefinitely suspended. Many were trying to figure out ways to keep occupied as the world tried to work out a way to eradicate the novel coronavirus.  As things start to turn…Continue reading “Retrospective: What was, what could have been with the eNASCAR Pro Invitational iRacing Series”»
