SIM RACING SNIPPETS
Ditch the junk: Sector One Ventures built a custom Sim Racing Search Engine to filter out the Amazon spam and Temu clutter. The tool restricts results to verified manufacturers and trusted reviewers, delivering pure gear specs instead of generic gaming ads.

Modding made easy: Steve Worrell’s SimFoundry is a curated directory delivering top-tier racing mods without the headache of ad-filled forums. It connects drivers to elite creators, ensuring you spend more time on the apex than digging through search results.
DTM debuts: iRacing is launching a new DTM series featuring 55-minute sprint races that mirror the real-world 2026 calendar. Every Thursday before a race weekend, fans can jump into official 2025 liveries and battle for glory on a global stage.
