Commentating the first Taimana Series on iRacing

So awesome to back in commentary for LetsPlay.Live alongside Everard once again. Under a new name it was a familiar format that once again produced some great racing from New Zealands top iRacing drivers.

With this series I finally started to feel like I know what I’m doing. Competent in rehearsals, well prepared with notes, able to talk clearly for an entire broadcast. It wasn’t perfect and there’s lots of room to improve but I’m proud of what I was able to do. Helps that the racing action was great throughout.
