For the latest iRacing Downshift, we bring in our new Marketing and Communications Specialist, Justin Melillo, to talk about his background in the sim racing space and coverage of our top esports events. We’ve got plenty of updates on our most recent Special Events, a look at all of our pro series going down, and Chris continues pursuing his vendetta against those who can’t keep the racing to the racetrack.

Downshift is back and we've got tons to talk about with the release of 2023 Season 4! With five new cars and three new tracks, plus some epic new series and feature improvements, we've got a lot to catch you up on. We've also got updates on all of iRacing's top esports series, including setting the stage for the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series season finale from the NASCAR Hall of Fame later this month.

World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing has an all-new update for the 2023 season, and we've got Matt Lewis on from Monster Games to talk about it! We've also got some news on our 15th Anniversary celebration and all the latest eSports updates.

It's an interview so timely that we skipped the other half of the show! eRacr's Parker Kligerman and Landon Cassill drop in to talk about this Wednesday's third running of the Firecracker 400, what it's like to put on one of the biggest independent sim races on iRacing, and how their real-world racing experiences have shaped it. Tune in July 26 at 8PM ET on https://t.co/a0UIkhNeDg to watch the action!

It’s true—we’ve made 50 of these! But even more importantly, iRacing is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, so executive vice president Steve Myers returns to Downshift to reflect on the long, strange trip it’s been. We’ve also got the latest on 2023 Season 3, including new cars, new tracks, and the dirt refresh that has changed the game in sprint car, late model, and even off-road truck racing! Stay tuned to our Twitch and YouTube on Friday to watch the video version!

We're getting ready for 2023 Season 3 on a new iRacing Downshift! We've got some teasers on new content and series, including the all-new Ring Meister concept (stay tuned for more info on that) and continued updates on our console games and esports. This month's guest, David Tucker, is one of our most active company voices in the iRacing forums—and as someone who touches so much on iRacing, one of your most asked-for guests in the history of the podcast!

It’s a busy month in the world of iRacing, from enjoying the 2023 Season 2 content that dropped last month to announcements around our console games, World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing and ExoCross. This month’s interview panel features QA testers Mike Hinkle and Kevin Zhu, associate producer Kevin Iannarelli, and some guy you might have heard of named Tyler Hudson talking about their day jobs, real-world racing experiences, and how they all link together.

The iRacing Downshift makes its triumphant return after a month off with a look at 2023 Season 2, the three—excuse us, four—new cars and one new track that have joined the service, and a look at our world of esports and special events. Plus, racing legend Tony Kanaan joins the show to talk about his embrace of sim racing, becoming a team owner in both eNASCAR and the Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup, and his unlikely journey from adversaries to best friends with Greg.

We hit the ground running in the first iRacing Downshift of the new year as we look ahead to a full calendar of Special Events and series for 2023. This month's guests are our AI team of Nigel Pattinson, Alex Saunders, and Brent Foster, who talk about what sets iRacing AI apart, what to look out for in the future, and the very unique career that Brent left behind before joining us.

It's the last iRacing Downshift of the year, and we've got plenty to talk about! We go through all the exciting developments in the 2023 Season 1 build and our active esports series, and Cisco Scaramuzza from our in-house broadcast team joins to talk about his role and share some favorite behind-the-scenes stories. Plus, Greg and Kevin resolve their pie debate from the last episode.
