They’ve been quietly building a movement—one that connects racers from all walks of life, across different platforms and countries, and steers them toward friendship, support, and sometimes, just a much-needed laugh.

“Sim racing brings people together in a way that’s kind of surprising,” says one of the organisers. “You’ve got guys who might not normally talk about how they’re doing, suddenly working as a team, solving problems, and just having fun together.”

Since launching their community-focused endurance event, they’ve raised over $20,000 for causes in the men’s and mental health space, and this year, they’re proud to partner with Men’s Health Week to spread awareness even further.

The main event? A five-hour endurance race on June 14 using the iRacing simulator, with teams of drivers from all over New Zealand, Australia, and beyond. For many, it’s not just about the thrill of the race—it’s about connection. Racing side by side with mates they’ve never met in person, building something bigger than themselves.

“There’s always someone who’s new to sim racing, or maybe just not sure where to start,” the team says. “That’s why we built this community—to make it easy to get into, ask questions, and find your tribe.”

The crew encourages newcomers to jump into the action—whether that’s by joining their social channels or heading to a local sim centre with some friends to give it a try. No pit crew required, just a love for good competition and good company.

As the countdown to race day begins, one thing is clear: these virtual racers are making a very real difference.
