🏁 The OSR Bathurst 12 Hour is back! In this episode of Locked On iRacing, I sit down with Mike Coralliff, the man behind one of the biggest endurance events in Australian sim racing — the Oceanic Sim Racing Bathurst 12 Hour. We dive into how the event started, what makes it different from other iRacing endurance races, and how it has grown into one of the most authentic sim racing experiences you can take part in. From live race control and safety cars to signed trophies from real Bathurst 12 Hour drivers, this event is about as close to the real thing as you can get in sim racing. Mike also shares some incredible stories about attending the real Bathurst 12 Hour, meeting drivers, getting trophies signed by racing legends, and even bringing real commentators into the broadcast. 🤯 We also break down some of the major changes for this year’s race, including:🏎️ The introduction of the Porsche Cup car as the second class⚖️ Balance of Performance adjustments🎯 A new Super Pole format🚨 Full course cautions and live race control If you're a sim racer, endurance racing fan, or a Bathurst tragic, this is an episode you won't want to miss. And if you're thinking about entering the OSR Bathurst 12 Hour in the future, this will give you a great insight into what makes the event so special. 👍 If you enjoy the episode:• Like the video• Subscribe for more iRacing content, race recaps & sim racing discussions• Let me know in the comments if you've raced the OSR Bathurst 12 Hour! 00:00 🏁 Intro – Bathurst 12 Hour Weekend00:19 🎙️ Why this episode took a while (Braden cameo pending!)00:35 🇦🇺 The OSR Bathurst 12 Hour explained00:54 👋 Introducing Mike Coralliff02:00 🏎️ How the OSR Bathurst 12 Hour started (2021 origins)03:26 🏆 The growth of the event & the trophy tradition04:15 🏁 Learning from the real Bathurst 12 Hour05:00 🔧 Garage tours & insider knowledge from real teams05:36 🎤 Real Bathurst commentator joining the broadcast07:10 🏆 The incredible story behind the signed trophies09:02 📸 Meeting drivers & getting trophies signed10:56 🚗 Racing the event yourself – my experience11:46 🔥 Why this race is more realistic than official iRacing events12:16 🚨 Race control, safety cars & full course cautions14:02 ❤️ Why organising the event is worth it15:30 🏎️ Why the Porsche Cup car replaced GT417:18 ⚖️ Balance of Performance challenges18:17 🏔️ How the Porsche Cup works around Bathurst19:48 🏁 New Super Pole format explained21:00 😂 Wild ideas for future qualifying formats22:04 😴 The aftermath of running a 12-hour event23:00 📦 Shipping trophies to winners24:23 🏠 Life after race weekend25:03 🙏 Sponsors and supporters26:06 🏁 Final thoughts & wrapping up

I have had a go at V8 SCOPS series qualifying for Round 1, and I did better than I expected to in the process. It was such a stressful 3 days, even though I knew I wasn't going to qualify for the series opener. I then have a chat about the first round of Supercars at Sydney Motorsport Park and what I expect from round 2 coming up this weekend at Albert Park.I chat about the Scotty and Shane podiums this weekend in NASCAR and Indy cars, as well as the double header coming up at Phoenix this weekend for NASCAR and Indy car

I am aiming for shorter, more frequent episodes now and with that, I am here to recap yesterday's race of the V8 Vets series at Miami Gp Track were everything went so well, except for one little moment.

In this solo episode of Locked On iRacing, I cover a wide range of topics — from real-world events to sim racing updates — in one of the most personal episodes I’ve recorded so far. I open the show with a brief and somber reflection on the Bondi shooting, before speaking honestly about my current mental health and where things are at right now. From there, I outline what’s coming up in the episode and dive deep into sim racing. The bulk of the episode is spent recapping Season 25 of the V8 Vets league, where I finished 2nd in the championship, including a breakdown of Round 10 at Sachsenring, where I also finished 2nd in the race. I then discuss my promotion to Split 3, what that means, and what you can expect from me going forward. I also share my thoughts on the new Adelaide Street Circuit recently added to iRacing, preview Round 1 of V8 Vets Season 26 at Adelaide, review the Season 26 calendar, and give my impressions on the rest of the iRacing Season 1 content. To wrap things up, I preview the upcoming Adelaide 400km team race I’ll be competing in with Buzza, talk through my content plans heading into Christmas, and read out your comments from Spotify.

It has been a while indeed, but I have returned to the mic to chat about what I have been up to for the past 5 months, what has changed with this return and the races I have been doing since I returned. I also chat about my Bathurst 1000 trip, which is so close now. I cover my GT3 driver as well as the league races I am now doing in Skip Barbers and V8 Supercars. I also tie it all back in with my mental health journey

Things don't always go as we planned and that has never been more true than the Barber race. Here is my recap of how I went.

Just a quick episode with a new format to get the ball rolling again and to keep everyone a little bit better in the loop. thanks again all for the awesome support over all these years

I have been snowed under with work and mental health problems for the past 3 or 4 weeks but I decided I would sit down and actually record something for you all before we get to the last round of V8 Vets for season 21. Officials have been very light on for the past few weeks because of life and they just have not been very interesting with small fields with a large spread of skill levels. So this episode I discuss my time at Aragon, Motegi and Algarve in the V8 Vets rounds 7, 8 and 9. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for your support while I have been away.

Only two races for week 6 as I struggle with mental and physical burn out from the content creation, Supercars racing, The Bathurst 1000 and real life work. Both races were at Road America in the Supercars Mustang but they could not have been under different circumstances. The official this week saw the lights turned on on the Mustang as the server was set to sunset to make it pretty; however, the sun set way too quickly in the server, which had the field starting in the dark. On a track without lighting to show the way, the Mustang's headlights had to do all the heavy lifting. With server maintenance around the corner and the confusion around that time because of daylight savings, it was a race we didn't expect to make it to the end, which gave it a very laid-back feel till we realised the server wasn't going down and the race would be official. Thursday then saw V8 Vets head to Road America with round 5 being a 250 km race. I had put in a lot of practice for this one and it all started coming together in the warm up before the race. After an issue in qualifying I started in an okay position but with a very early safety car I found myself near the front and a battle for the podium. With no more safety cars it became a race of high pace but no mistakes. After only a couple of mistakes and some issues with cars behind me, it was clear I was going to get the podium, but my ego had the last word and almost cost me all that effort. Anyway, there will be no podcast next week at this stage, as I have had a week off to get my motivation back. Thank you, everyone, for your understanding and support, and I catch you on stream or in the next episode.
