Here at iRace HQ we're continually trying to think of new ways to make racing more accessible, and achievable for more people.
With that goal in mind, we're launching the brand new iRace Meeting Point. It's a section of the website dedicated to helping our competitors help each other. The Meeting Point will be a central location for competitors and anyone else associated with the series to offer services, help, assistance or recommendations that might be useful to their fellow competitors. It will also be the place for competitors who are seeking assistance getting their car to the next round, or trying to find a reputable service provider in their area.
Submissions can be made via the website, and once completed they appear instantly on the Meeting Point page.
This sort of thing is not new to the Independent Race Series - a series well known for the generosity of its competitors, and with a strong community atmosphere. Now it's just a lot more organised, and the information will reach a lot more people a lot faster.
Things we hope to see on the Meeting Point page in the future include:
Competitors with space in their trailer or transporter
Competitors car-pooling to an event
Competitors sharing accommodation at an event
Competitors recommending a service provider who has helped them
Drives (or drivers) available either for Lease or Barter/Trade
Positions on teams for volunteer pitcrew
And many more - we hope you can manage to surprise us!
The iRace Meeting Point will be within the Classifieds section of the site (click on Classifieds, then click on Meeting Point), or access it via this direct link. It will also be available as a RSS feed you can subscribe to (instructions here).
To submit a post to the Meeting Point, click the Meeting Point Submission link on the Meeting Point page, or use this direct link.
The first round of the Independent Race Series for 2009 will take place at Morgan Park 20-22 March, with a Launch Day scheduled at the Marulan Driver Training Centre 18 January.
