Citrone/Buhl Autosport completes first INDYCAR iRacing Challenge race
Citrone/Buhl Autosport made its team debut over the weekend at a virtually packed Circuit of The Americas on the internet—scratch that—in Austin, TX. Real-life team driver of the #45 car Spencer Pigot received his simulator setup just in time for practice on Thursday and completed all laps (P25) in his first INDYCAR iRacing contest early Saturday afternoon.
It's a new experience for many of the teams with drivers just recently setting up basic simulators at their homes and learning the iRacing system. Some, on the other hand, have been doing iRacing for years and have more advanced simulators at home. To see what one of these iRacing events is like, you can re-watch the full NBCSN broadcast of the AutoNation INDYCAR Challenge at Circuit of The Americas here.
All in all, the 6-race INDYCAR iRacing Challenge has been a pretty welcome substitute for INDYCAR fans until real racing returns. Best of all for fans, no expenses were incurred for tickets, parking, or concessions at the track!
Catch the final round of the INDYCAR iRacing Challenge this Saturday which takes place at the one and only (virtual) Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
