New Year, Same Chaos | iRacing 2026 Begins

Описание: We’re back 🚦

First racing stream of 2026 and we’re kicking things off the only way we know how, jumping into iRacing and seeing what chaos unfolds.

I’ll be getting some laps in, shaking off the rust, and chatting through my thoughts on the season and year ahead at Bongo Racing. What’s staying, what’s changing, and what I’m aiming for in 2026, on and off track.

Expect racing, mistakes, laughs, and a bit of proper reflection as we start the year together.

Grab a brew, jump in the chat, and let’s get 2026 rolling.

🏁 New year. Same chaos.

Are you an older racer itching for some close quarters racing with folk you can trust not to throw you in the barrier without a thought? Come on over to Bongo Racing and hone your race skills and have a laugh with us at the same time.
