Had a lot of fun in the commentary booth last week with the AUS/NZ Endurance Series.
Made the mistake of mentioning how clean the front cars were at the 1hr mark which was the last time I did that 🤣

A couple months late to this one but how cool is it to have NZ brand Racetech as a sponsor option in iRacings paint booth.
Trading paints does make it a little irrelevant but I still think it's pretty sweet!

iRacing ovals is so funny because how did I go from this on lap 2 to finishing 2nd 😆 🥈

Added a number plate to my sim rig. It's dumb but I love it 😄
Working on some useful upgrades too 😜

iRacing "You've been promoted" graphic, promoted to A in sports cars

I've finally gone and done it 🎉
Now I can continue racing MX5s and 86s but with more swag 🤪

This is gonna be sick.

@creatorseries.gg iRacing Friday mornings bright and early for us kiwis (6am).

Jumped in the comms box a couple times for their Manufacturers Masters and had a blast too. Love this team

Having a lot of fun with the motor motion series this year. Was behind the scenes producing this one. Always fun learning a few new tricks from a new broadcast package

Taupo Supercars 2025. An awesome day

Had some fun spectating last weekend

Lemons is hectic. This was a 9 to 5 race so budget cars on track for 8 hours doing hundreds of laps. Including running the track backwards for half the day 🤣

Timaru is now one of my favourite tracks. So much fun sending it in MX5s around there last weekend

Full recap: monkeymatt.racing/racing-mx5s-...

I've already raced in round 2 but only now have finally completed my round 1 recap. It was epic. I love the Teretonga track and these MX5s are a ball to drive

Onboard videos to come once I figure out the magic of editing 360 degree video

Can't even explain how amped I was to see my name in an official program just like the ones I used to get when spectating races as a kid. Legit childhood dream come true to be able to do stuff like this

Stupid excited to be back in a race car this weekend. First round of the MX5 cup at the southern most circuit in the world (Teretonga) gonna be huge.
Practice today was mint so bring on the racing

In 2023 it was $20,000, in 2024 that went up to $30,000+ won by kiwi sim racers!
Huge!
Awesome to see kiwi drivers like Matt McEwen and Cameron Fleming rewarded for their success with cash, international trips, and real world race car test days

Haha I've just been racing casually these days I don't need that kind of unfair advantage xD

Tidied up my sim rig for some photos. Love this thing

I'm 2nd fastest on this moments stage in EA Sports WRC!
Nice to think I've still got some speed left in me

Hard to beat a race day out on track with friends. Grateful I got to send it in Eevees MX5 at Ruapuna last week

Want a closer look at the commentary box?

Here’s a tour I made at Spa last year, featuring covered up windows because this one had no air con!

#broadcasting #motorsport

I'm looking forward to watching. Awesome opportunity for everyone involved in the series. I've enjoyed the wildcards this season, intrigued to see what you've cooked up this time 👀

Making a starter pack for people involved with the F1 game scene. Give me a nudge if you should be on here and i've missed you out!
