The track originally opened in 2002 as BeaveRun Motorsports Park but was renamed after it was purchased in 2011 by Jim and Kathy Stout, who also now own Virginia International Raceway.
Since then, a course extension which had been planned since the track’s inception was completed, creating three track configurations, two of which can be run simultaneously. Pitt Race hosts many different sports car series such as SCCA and NASA, as well as holding track days and open tests for both cars and motorcycles.

Through the interrupted seasons of racing, contesting races at home on a simulator have increased in popularity and Supercheap Auto TCR Australia driver Lachlan MIneeff completed an interesting experiment alongside YouTube channel Gear Seekers.

To find out the advancements made in simulator technology in this short period, it was put to the test against the real thing as Mineeff dusted off his Volkswagen Golf TCR to participate in the experiment.

Using a top of the range simulator powered by ASUS ROG and AMD to set a benchmark for the real Volkswagen to beat at Luddenham Raceway just out of Sydney using the Assetto Corsa program.

After this was completed, the Purple Sector crew went to Luddenham Raceway to gauge how real life compared to the sim and it provided surprising results.

Being the first time Mineeff and the Volkswagen had lapped Luddenham, the privateer was surprised by how close the comparisons were compared to the sim.

“After the track and the car on Assetto Corsa, the gearing, the braking points, the acceleration markers are all identical,” he revealed.

“It’s really, really impressive to see where the sim software has come.”

Marty from Mighty Car Mods completes a detailed technical overview of the Volkswagen Golf TCR and Mineeff completes a hot lap.

Not giving the result away, Mineeff provides a detailed explanation of why it is the case.
