Back in July, Ignite Skill Gaming (owners of rFactorcentral & SimRaceWay) announced to have acquired $7.5 million dollars of funding to turn SimRaceWay into an online racing title.

The company isn’t stopping there though as Ignite has announced a new partnership with the Jim Russell Racing Drivers School at the Infineon Raceway in California. The facility is being re-branded as SimRaceWay Performance Center and aims to combine real and virtual racing as Ignite is hoping for synergy effects for the physics developments of their new title as well.

The racing school offers over 70 vehicles to choose from and is now extended by a choice of simulators, giving interested customers the chance to try out their skills in a danger-free environment first before going for the real thing.

The sim facility consists of 12 VisionRacer VR3 Black Label racing rigs, equipped with Logitech G27 steering wheels.

Below are a bunch of photos showing off the new facility, also present is Indy 500 winner Dan Wheldon who’s assisting Ignite Skill with his real-life racing experience.
