Virtual Driver – Race Driver – Developer
With the sad news that Pukekohe Park Raceway would be shutting down came a strong desire to get back on track for one last outing there. So when my friend Everard (aka EeveeP) sent through a link for playday on track I called Dad and set the car prep wheels in motion for the first […]
I still can’t believe it really happened. From quietly commentating mundane tasks in my head like walking to class “racing” my class mates, to going through the journey of creating my own sim racing leagues to commentate and learning the ropes with Everard, to now doing it for real on live television.

Examples you can play with: https://dartpad.dev/df02fd4952b91e85c2ec08e7d97f289e Standard Parameters Each parameter defined this way is […]
I’ve always wanted to play around with custom ROMs. Particularly as an android app developer I feel I’m doing myself a disservices by having only ever dealt with stock android. After discovering /e/ I finally decided to take action. I’m writing this document for myself to make the process easier next time, because finding all […]
When I set my goals for 2020 I included one small statement at the end, “… but even with my years goals in place it could still all change.” Boy if I had known how much that would ring true across the world. “… but even with my years goals in place it could all […]
Last year I finished as the top Australasian in the Logitech G Challenge. The competition is back again for 2020 so I caught up with Matthew Hansen from the New Zealand Herald to chat about McLaren getting involved in the G Challenge (now called the Logitech McLaren G Challenge) and the wider sim racing landscape.
