This weekend was a busy one in sim racing with lockdown still enforced in most places, and despite the real-life Nascar race, at and empty Darlington, running for the first time since early March the virtual racing world was buzzing!
Here are highlights from Twitter this past weekend:
Rd3 of the #legendstrophy from @circuitzandvoort was action packed as always!! I came away with P2 & P5 in my @skysportsf1 liveried Brabham after an epic battle with @jpmonty2 & @petterwrc03. Leading the Champs with 2 rounds to go, next 1 being the Indy500 which will be insane π pic.twitter.com/IBw0aPupK4
