Inside Speed Panel Show
This Friday night at 8.30pm a special show will go to air on Fox InsideSpeed. The Motorsport panel show will feature three hardcore iRacers - Rod Moynahan, dedicated competitor in the Rocket Sports category, Greg Smith, mover and shaker in the LeMans Sports category driving a Radical, and the popular Adam Dodd, driver in, and supporter of West End Mazda Production Racing Cars (as well as a variety of other machinery). All three drivers were kind enough to give their time to be on the show and promote our sport, so tune in Friday night to see what they had to say.
Coverage from Round 2 at Eastern Creek will screen on InsideSpeed in the near future, we'll post details as soon as we have them.
Entries for Round 3 at Lakeside (18-19 June) are now open. Click here to get your entry in now.
