Movie Review-The Sim Racer
| Heath Ropp |  | ||
| to iracerslounge | |||
If you’ve got an hour to spare (with a runtime of 1:07), buckle up for a cheesy yet entertaining ride. This film promises thrills, spills, and a cameo by iRacing’s Evan Posoco and Jeff Maconi. And kudos for the tip about it being available for free on Tubi!
Quick Synopsis:
Sim racer Luke Wallace is caught in a streak of bad luck. He’s fallen behind on his mortgage, his girlfriend dumped him for being too nice, and his bartender buddy Earl is hell-bent on turning him into an “ass man” (given Earl’s unique affinity for feet).
Desperate to save his home, Wallace throws himself into qualifying for the World 500 Late Model race, where the grand prize is a hefty $20,000. However, his hesitance stems from his reliance on “fixed setups” and the looming threat of his rival Shooter Jones, who’s notorious for employing underhanded tactics like the infamous “Arca Brake” to wipe out the competition.
