If you’ve ever had literally any questions about what it’s like to work in the motorsport industry or have logistical questions you haven’t had answered, then I have some good news for you: Starting on November 30, RACER and EPARTRADE have joined up to host a week of virtual press conferences to teach you everything you need to know.

We’ve all been blindsided by COVID-19, but one of the things I really miss about being able to attend races is learning stuff. Yes, I fully enjoy fast cars and good company, but if I have a chance, I also want to ask folks in the paddock about the logistics of traveling to that location, how they do their job, how they sourced the firesuits they’re wearing.

That’s basically what is all about: it’s a big, virtual, free-to-attend conference dedicated to teaching you everything from logistical sourcing of products to starting your own business to understanding how to set up a gearbox for a road race.

You can find the full list of panels on , but I want to highlight a few of the things I’m most excited about:

Racecar Simulation – Modern and practical approaches to Racecar Engineering that get resultsHappy hour with Linda Vaughn, “The First Lady of Motorsports”Racing communications since 1979Strategies for being ready every raceState Of The Racing Industry—Sanctioning Bodies’ PerspectiveUsing motorsport as a laboratoryWomen in motorsport

Among tons of others. It seems like it’s going to be a really neat way to learn about a little bit of everything.

Tons of other people have started offering virtual conferences and webinars as a way to engage with all aspects of the motorsport community. Jennie Gow, a motorsport broadcaster, has been hosting sessions about making your way in . I recently attended a Zoom conference with young drivers like Jade Edwards and Jamie Chadwick, where they discussed the complexities of being a woman in racing. A few friends have started streaming some “what not to do” sessions based on iRacing events.

It’s some really cool stuff. If you’re looking to expand your horizons in motorsport, this is a damn good way to do it.

Half Of The Formula One Grid Technically Ran Too Slow In Qualifying
Half Of The Formula One Grid Technically Ran Too Slow In Qualifying
Conditions were so nasty at the Hungaroring yesterday that 11 drivers of the 22-car Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix field set qualifying times slower than 107% the time of Rosberg’s leading 1:33.302 lap, reports . Under F1's 107% rule, anyone who qualifies that slowly gets pulled from the race. Needless...

Save The Porsches!
Marc Lieb, why must we have this pointless Porsche-on-Porsche violence? Why? Why? Stewards at today’s 6 Hours of Nürburgring placed the blame on Lieb in the LMP1-class No. 2 Porsche 919 for hitting the much slower LM GTE Am-class No. 88 Porsche 911 RSR of Abu Dhabi-Proton Racing that was...

The Super-Dominant Ford GT Is A Lot Faster When It's Not On Fire
The Ford GT apparently shares more with the Ferrari marque it at Le Mans than we thought. Just like the intense, passionate Italian we know and love, the Ford GT, too, is pretty flammable. Burn Baby Burn, Ford-o Inferno During today’s 6 Hours of Nürburgring, a valve stuck open on...

The phrase “short tracks, short tempers” is a classic in racing, and there isn’t a more perfect example of than a recent incident from —a wreck for the lead, retaliation under caution, and a grand finale of two cars smacking each other in the infield. This, everyone, is as authentic...

Lewis Hamilton Tells Esteban Gutiérrez That He's Number One With A Finger
There are a few ways that Formula One can inform a driver that there’s faster traffic behind him. One is with the traditional blue flag thrown by trackside marshals. Another, more desperate but more entertaining method, is for the overtaking driver to flip the bird as he blows by the...
