Respect The Meatball
A laid back approach at covering all things iRacing. Everything from Rigs, Peripherals and Tech, through to Race-craft, Leagues and more. Covering all disciplines of arguably the most realistic racing simulator while having a laugh, this show is for the the rookies and the hobbyist. No professional racers or sponsored aliens, just us regular folk jumping in the drivers seat of our pretend racecars.

Make sure you listen to the ve...
