Well we’re back!  It’s been a long break, but, The Top Split podcast is back on the air.

This episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Brian Sheridan.  Shero is the life force behind the Friday Night Race Club, an iRacing league that promotes fun and laughs on and off the track.  Shero and I spoke about the FNRC and how it came about.  Along with diving into some deeper thoughts on what clubs like the FNRC can mean to people beyond the on track action.

This month I was fortunate enough to speak with professional racing driver Benny Simonsen.  Benny was generous enough to share some of his experiences and insights into the comparisons between sim racing and racing in real life.  He also gave some great impressions of his times racing some of the fantastic cars we race on the iRacing service in real life.

If you’d like to follow Benny’s exploits in the world of GT racing, you can find him in the following places:

I had the great pleasure of speaking with Johnny Guindi, a young up and coming driver on the real racing tracks around the world as well as in iRacing.  Johnny is a Nissan GT Academy winner and he shares his experiences from the show as well as those on the track during the program and from the 24 hour race in Dubai.  It was an exciting opportunity for me to speak with him about how real life racing compares to what we get on the iRacing service.

If you’d like to get in touch with Johnny for some Sim Racing Coaching, you can reach him at – johnnygh94@gmail.com.  Alternatively, you can join him live on the skippy discord server where he does live track guides.

In this episode of the podcast I speak with Dennis Fiedler and Desmond Harberger in the first ever attempt at ‘The Panel’.  We are just three blokes talking some stuff about iRacing as we see it.  Nothing like getting some information from the grass roots.

This episode I speak with Tyson Meier aka ‘Quirk’ an iRacing Twitch streamer.

I very much enjoyed having Tyson on the show.  He was open and honest in our conversation.  I’m a regular viewer of his stream and can thoroughly recommend it.  He streams regularly and it’s a great watch.
