A lowrider Levorg and the future of <b>sim racing</b>: we talk to Logitech NZ's Jamie Hall

While there are many points of intersection between cars and popular culture, few are as direct as the cross-over in enthusiast devotion of car culture and video games. Car racing games have been a staple genre of gaming pretty much since the dawn of video games, and the fast-paced evolution of the technology has pushed it into unprecedented realms of realism. That’s why it makes perfect sense that the country manager of Logitech New Zealand - one of the leading suppliers of both pro and consumer-level sim racing equipment - is an absolute car nut. Outside of his day job leading the local arm of the company that gives us such gear as the popular G923 wheel for PC, Xbox and PlayStation, the pro-grade Pro Racing Wheel, as well as the new - and thoroughly fantastic - RS50 wheel, Jamie Hall is a car guy through and through. And he has the garage history to prove it, not least of which is his current daily driver; a Subaru Levorg wagon that blurs the line between a practical family car and a true showpiece. If you first see Hall’s Levorg behind a low wall, you could be forgiven for thinking it is nothing special, giving off all the presence of a bog-standard white Levorg. However, cop an eyeful of it in full, with its aggressively low stance and bodywork almost scraping on the ground, and you quickly realize it is anything but standard. Inspired by the rather awesome American mini-truck scene that burst onto the scene in the late 80s/early 90s, Hall’s Levorg is a fully-airbagged lowrider that somehow manages to perfectly blend showy sensationalism and genuine family practicality. “I made my mind up on the airbags first and then was like, ‘What's the car to put them in?’,” said Hall.

McLaren <b>Racing</b> reopens NEXT program for young women in STEM

McLaren Racing reopens NEXT program for young women in STEM The NEXT 2026 program will run in September, with selected students taking part in mentoring, workshops, and industry sessions at McLaren, Allwyn, Cisco, and Schneider Electric. McLaren Racing has opened applications for a 25-place STEM program for young women from the UK, U.S., and EU, offering access to the McLaren Technology Centre and partner offices in September 2026. NEXT 2026 will run from 7 to 11 September, with three days at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England, and two days across the London offices of program partners Allwyn, Cisco, and Schneider Electric. Applications close on Friday, 12 June 2026. The program is open to applicants who are women, are in their final year of study toward a degree or equivalent in STEM, and are currently based in the UK, EU, or U.S. Eligible subject areas include physics, chemistry, technology, computer science, data analytics, engineering, and mathematics. McLaren covers travel and accommodation McLaren Racing said it will cover travel and accommodation costs for successful applicants, removing one of the most obvious barriers to taking part in an in-person program based in Woking and London. The five-day schedule will include hands-on learning, mentoring, panel discussions, and behind-the-scenes industry immersion. Participants will also have access to industry leaders, recruiters, and peers across motorsport, engineering, technology, energy, data, and commercial roles. NEXT was launched last year after McLaren’s 60 Scholars initiative. The program is designed to give participants a clearer view of STEM career routes inside motorsport and adjacent industries, rather than positioning Formula 1 as the only destination. Holly Clement, who graduated from the 60 Scholars initiative in 2023 and is now a Machine Learning Solutions Engineer at McLaren Racing, says: "The NEXT programme gave me real insight into what a career

Bobby Zalenski claims 19th career eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series win ...

Bobby Zalenski claims 19th career eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series win in Coca-Cola 160 at Charlotte May 20th, 2026 by Justin Melillo For the 19th time in his eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series career, Bobby Zalenski ended the night celebrating in virtual victory lane. Not to say the 18 previous wins were anything short of impressive, but the season-opening, caution-free Coca-Cola 160 from Charlotte Motor Speedway on Tuesday night may just have been the ERA eSports Team driver’s most impressive win to-date, considering the competition and conditions in place. It’s a common theme to see the “Road Course King” do this sort of work on a road course, but in a series mostly made up of oval racing, where he’s still chasing that elusive Dale Jr Cup entering his 10th season, by taking the pole position, leading 65 laps, passing his setup alliance teammate Tucker Minter in the closing stage, and holding off the most-recent champion, Steven Wilson—who set a record for wins in a single season last year—Zalenski uncovered another unchecked box to check, claiming his first season-opening race victory of his career. The stage was set following the final green flag pit stops of the day. Minter opted for the undercut, to get the track position in the cycle and play defense. Wilson went for the overcut in addition to two less fresh tires, only taking right sides and “enough” fuel to make it to the checkers. Zalenski, who pitted in the middle, was fast enough to take back the lead and then hold off a charge in the closing laps to claim the victory. We ran 160 laps at Charlotte without a SINGLE CAUTION FLAG! Bobby Zalenski started first and FINISHED FIRST to kick off the 2026 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series season!!!@ENASCARGG | @CocaColaracing pic.twitter.com/cU9YRe2SQP —

SIMUFY Strengthens Customer Guidance for DACH <b>Sim Racing</b> Buyers | CustomerThink

Orpí, Barcelona, Spain, May 19, 2026 — SIMUFY, a European specialist in sim racing, driving simulation and flight simulation hardware, is strengthening its German-language online platform to improve how customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland research, compare and select simulator products. The initiative focuses on a key challenge in the simulation hardware market: customers are often not buying a single product, but trying to build a complete setup where multiple technical components must work together. A wheelbase, steering wheel, pedal set, cockpit, seating position, monitor support and software environment all influence the final user experience. SIMUFY’s German-language platform is designed to give DACH customers clearer access to product categories, technical information and setup guidance. The company’s catalogue includes Direct Drive wheelbases, steering wheels, pedals, shifters, handbrakes, cockpits, racing seats, monitor mounts, motion systems, cockpit accessories and selected flight simulation products. As sim racing continues to evolve from a niche gaming activity into a more technical and performance-oriented segment, customer expectations are also changing. Buyers increasingly want more than product availability. They need guidance on compatibility, upgrade paths, performance levels, mounting options and long-term usability. “Many customers are not simply looking for a product. They are looking for a setup that fits their experience level, available space, budget and long-term goals,” said a SIMUFY spokesperson. “In sim racing and flight simulation, the customer experience depends heavily on helping people make the right technical choices before they buy.” This approach reflects a broader shift in specialized ecommerce, where customer experience is increasingly shaped by education, clarity and expert support. In technical categories such as simulator hardware, incomplete product information can lead to poor purchase decisions, compatibility issues and lower satisfaction after the sale. SIMUFY serves beginners building their first simulator, experienced sim racers, motorsport enthusiasts, esports users and professional simulation projects. By

Mercedes told Max Verstappen will retire at Red Bull

Mercedes told Max Verstappen will retire at Red Bull Change your timezone: Mercedes told Max Verstappen will retire at Red Bull Will Max Verstappen retire at Red Bull? Max Verstappen will retire at Red Bull, according to a former F1 star who previously raced for Red Bull. Verstappen's future at Red Bull has been called into question in recent weeks, mainly because of the team's start to the season. Verstappen has not achieved a better grand prix finish than fifth so far in 2026, and sits down in seventh in the drivers' championship. Mercedes, meanwhile, are dominating the sport in 2026, particularly frustrating for Verstappen given the fact Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has publicly pursued the Dutchman's services in each of the past two seasons. Verstappen is under contract at Red Bull until the end of the 2028 season, but is understood to have a number of exit clauses in that deal. But David Coulthard, who previously raced with Red Bull between 2005-2008, has said that none of the teams who have been linked with acquiring Verstappen's services, including Mercedes and McLaren, will offer the same freedoms that Red Bull do. Verstappen takes part in a number of racing activities away from F1, including sim racing and GT racing, and last weekend competed in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring race. “Max will not be going anywhere because there's no other Formula 1 team that would allow him to be Max,” Coulthard said on the Up To Speed podcast. “McLaren wouldn't be able to do it. Ferrari wouldn't be able to do it. Mercedes wouldn't be able to do it, despite the fact he was driving a Mercedes, just because of the investment that goes into the individual driver, but Red Bull do.” READ MORE: Verstappen plots Nurburgring return after 24

Coulthard doubts rivals would copy Verstappen's 'scary' Nordschleife challenge

David Coulthard highlighted the “old school commitment” shown by Max Verstappen in accepting the challenge of racing at a “scary racetrack” like the Nürburgring. The four-time world champion is coming off a gruelling Nordschleife weekend, where he shared the #3 Mercedes with team-mates Daniel Juncadella, Lucas Auer and Jules Gounon, coming agonisingly close to pulling off a sensational victory in the Nurburgring 24 Hours on his first attempt. However, a technical issue in the closing hours of the race brought his hopes to an end, leaving Verstappen Racing with a bitter sense of disappointment. Verstappen’s ‘old school commitment’ leaves Coulthard stunned Speaking on the Up To Speed podcast, the former Formula 1 driver stressed just how demanding and dangerous the Nurburgring remains, pointing to the level of commitment required to compete at the front around the Nordschleife. “That is a scary racetrack, I've been around that and the commitment that at that level you need to have to be competitive, to be at the front like they were, is... Sadly, we reported that there was a driver who lost his life on that very track, such is the nature of the challenge of the racetrack.” Photo: Red Bull Content Pool He then added that Verstappen’s decision to race at the Nürburgring reflected an “old school commitment” rarely seen in modern Formula 1, suggesting that while the rest of the grid is undoubtedly filled with technically outstanding drivers, very few would currently be willing to take on a challenge as intimidating as the Nordschleife. “We should not just look at it as, oh, Max loves driving so much, he's just out having fun on the weekends. If he was doing that, he could go to any of the FIA-regulated tracks that are very similar of the current F1 tracks. But to

Bobby Zalenski Wins Wild eNASCAR Coca-Cola 160 at Charlotte to Open 2026 Season

The 2026 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series officially kicked off Tuesday night with the Coca-Cola 160 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and after watching the entire race unfold live, it felt like the perfect way to open the new season. The race had a little bit of everything. Long green-flag runs, strategy shakeups, aggressive restarts, tire management battles, and drivers constantly trying to position themselves for the closing laps. When it was all over, Bobby Zalenski came away with his 19th career eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series victory after surviving one of the more demanding intermediate-track races on the schedule. Early in the race, the field looked extremely competitive, with multiple drivers showing race-winning pace throughout different stages of the event. Charlotte’s worn surface immediately put the focus on tire conservation and long-run speed rather than outright aggression, forcing drivers to carefully manage their equipment over extended green-flag stretches. As pit strategies started cycling through during the middle portions of the race, the running order constantly shifted. Some drivers opted for track position while others leaned into tire advantage, creating several tense moments throughout the field as the race settled into its longer runs. The biggest thing that stood out throughout the night was just how disciplined the top drivers had to be. Charlotte punished mistakes quickly. Drivers who pushed too hard early in runs would fade badly over the final laps of a stint, while others slowly worked their way forward by saving tires and staying consistent. Zalenski remained near the front for most of the race and looked especially strong during the closing stages. Once the race entered its final runs, he consistently maintained pace while several other contenders started to struggle with tire falloff and dirty air. By the closing laps, Zalenski had positioned himself exactly where he needed

F1 25's 2026 Season Pack will introduce Cadillac and Audi, plus the Madring circuit

F1 25's 2026 Season Pack will introduce Cadillac and Audi, plus the Madrid circuit Expect a host of changes for this whopping update arriving in early June. Earlier this week, we reported on the news that F1 25 will soon be expanded with a massive update that will bring the game in-line with the current real season of events. As we won't be getting an established F1 26 this year, this 2026 Season Pack, as it's called, will be the way for Codemasters to introduce the new cars, the driver and personnel changes, add in the new tracks, and more. The 2026 Season Pack has just been revealed in full, meaning we now know what to expect from it. The main things to note is that the "updated rules and regulations" of the sport are being introduced, meaning 2026's car models will be incorporated, and likewise as this ongoing season has two new constructors on the grid (including an 11th team for the first time ever), both Cadillac and Audi are being added. Similarly, as we're set to take a trip to Madrid, Spain later this year to the brand-new Madring circuit, this track is also being added to the game, with it being the first time fans can drive the circuit real cars won't christen for another few months. The launch date for the 2026 Season Pack is set for June 3, and as for the pricing of the DLC, if you already own the base game, you can grab solely the DLC for £24.99/€29.99 on console and £21.99/€24.99 on PC. If you want a bundled version that includes the base game and the 2026 Season Pack, this will set you back £49.99/€59.99 on console and £44.99/€49.99 on PC.
