SPONSORED BY HOTSEAT CHASSIS
Pro-quality sim racing
comes to SpeedwayEXPO |
Oval-track racing will begin earlier than usual in New England this year and
everyone is invited to participate, and without having to brave the winter
chill. The iRacing.com Cup presented by HotSeat Chassis takes place February
27 through March 1 indoors at SpeedwayEXPO. The show's attendees are Invited
to participate in a true-to-life racing experience that matches fans against
professional racers for fun and prizes, courtesy of iRacing.com's extremely
detailed computer simulation and HotSeat's top-shelf sim-racing chassis.
Qualifying will begin on Friday evening, February 27. The top
finishers will then compete on Sunday against professionals in a 20-lap
championship race. The Cup will feature one of iRacing.com's newest car
simulations, an exact digital duplicate of an SK Modified, running on a
millimeter-accurate version of Connecticut's paved half-mile Stafford Motor
Speedway. Entry is free to SpeedwayEXPO attendees.
In addition to fun, fame and glory (and an appearance in Speedway
Illustrated Magazine), the top iRacing.com Cup competitors at SpeedwayEXPO
will win valuable prizes. Each competitor will have an experienced sim racer
available to provide coaching as needed.
All XPO attendees will be able to take one of the iRacing.com/Hotseat
driving simulators 'out for a spin' as permitted by the competition
schedule. Registration information and rules will be posted on the show's
official website, speedwayexpo.com.
