I've been waiting for weeks and finally the day has arrived! Thanks to the efforts of many people all around the world, Ecency is the title sponsor for Sim Racer’s Edge and tonight is the first race of Season 4.
Tonight's race will be held at the Daytona International Speedway, a race track in Daytona Beach, Florida in the United States. Each lap is 2.5 miles and the race will be 100 laps. Drivers will qualify for their starting position just before the race starts. The drivers will regularly exceed 240 miles per hour in their IndyCar! And multiple pit stops for fuel and tires will only add to the excitement!
Qualifying is at 8:20pm EST and the green flag to start the race is at 8:30pm EST.
HERE is a link to watch live, but the race will remain on YouTube to watch anytime!
Let's all show up at the race to cheer on our favorite drivers that have the Ecency logo displayed on their car! Even if you are not a race fan let's all support this outreach effort by Ecency!
This short Ecency promotional video created by the very talented @unklebonehead is an on track interview with SRE race driver @jrollette
On Track InterviewAnd @weone created this 30 sec video, with audio by @unklebonehead to be played during the race.
30 sec Ecency promo
It was interesting that this video stirred up a conversation about the proper way to pronounce the word Ecency! I asked the ultimate authority @good-karma what the proper Pronunciation is.
He said that there is no proper Pronunciation and depending on where you are in the world it will be pronounced differently!
The music in both videos is by @ravenmus1c Beatraxx at Pandabeatmusic
@unklebonehead's podcasts- Drop the Mic is live 8-9pm EST on Thursdays and Loud & Proud live 8pm - 12am EST on Saturday nights are both on mspwaves.com

Everything looks awesome! I'm sure a lot of effort has gone into it. Congratulations! Ecency&Hive keep going! 😎 👏
It has been tons of fun putting this all together! ♥️

❣🚘 Ecency logo on the race cars ❣🚘
Hive🐝🚘🐝🚘
Fantastic...!!🚘🚘🚘🚘!!
So cool 😎😍🚘
Thanks, dear Anne! A half hour until race time. Fingers crossed that there are no big crashes, but at least know that all injuries will be virtual, 😉
That's pretty F'ing incredible. I'm not a gamer or NASCAR guy so I really wasn't sure if it was real or animation. Thanks for the video clip, makes me want to play.
The other cars I saw there like Red Bull for example, does that mean they're a paid sponsor too?
Cheers Melinda, @weone @unklebonehead @good-karma and everyone I'm missing.
It is a simulation, but it sure feels real, doesn't it? Even some of the big name F1 drivers use this simulation.
I think drivers put logos on their cars for products they use or support.
This post by @fbrbdavis explains some of the logos used on his car. https://ecency.com/hive-181577/@fbrbdavis/fbr-motorsports-stp-43-driven
Simulations are so lifelike now, and this is awesome news. Ecency spreading the news and a cool vid and wonderful music! Here is to a successful season ahead!
It does feel real when you are watchinand if there is a crash I have to remind myself that no one was injured!
Yes crashes are fun on this as you know, nobody has been hurt, but it still is a double take just to make sure🤣
Come join the NEED FOR SPEED community and get to know the drivers. It's fun when you are cheering for your friends!
aha, okay I have just joined and will do that, thank you Melinda
I saw your comment there! We need to teach them how to be engaged! 😬
Simple perfect beauty. We should see more of this in many other areas
I hope it gives lots of people ideas for ways to promote Hive!
!PIZZA !LUV
You are the best of the best! Thank you!
Congratulations! I think it was a really big event for all ecencians! And the short video is awesome! If there is an official Ecency youtube channel, it would be great to upload that video there
There will be more videos soon! And a contest to write an Ecency promo script to be played during the race. Put your thinking cap on!
Hi Melinda this looks like a fun event. I'll definitely watch the livestream 👍
Just looking at the promo video I suddenly realized it's a simulation...a very good one.
This could be massive amongst gamers.
🤯👍
It is a very good simulation, isn't it? I've been watching these guys race for a couple of years and seldom ever miss a race!
Race games have come on so much these. I couldn't tell it was a game at first. Amazing graphics 🤯😂👍
Come join the NEED FOR SPEED community and get to know the drivers! It makes watching the race much more exciting when you are cheering for your friends.
Nice effets, i will definitely Watch it.
Thanks for the Work you all doing.
Love ❤️
I hope we see several cars with the Ecency logo!
Wow this is pretty awesome!
Thanks for sharing!
Really think that actions like those can boost the project and the blockchain! Hope many people will finde it and use it.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers,
@andy-plays
Promoting Hive is always a good thing! 😍
That is really true ;-)
Amazing stuff.the outreach from Ecency is insane.
That simulation felt so realistic, I think I might want to join the racers too. 😅
Lovely interview as well. I couldn't be more proud to be a team-member 😊
Thanks for all your kind words! Ecency rocks! ♥️ But you already know that! You should ask one of these drivers what it takes to get involved!
I would asap
Thank you
set it free be free :-) great video
Watch for the upcoming contest and write a video script to promote Ecency to race fans!
Video Script? Wow that's interesting :-)
I will look for it.
I rearrange my whole home Office room and it's quite a big mess at the moment
:-D
Think I get the pc connected this evening then I can come to discord again :-)
Greetings at all there
I miss you in Discord!!
Miss you too. Maybe I should give it another try to use on the phone !LUV

I do hope you can figure out a way to make it work!
Is it game app?
No. It is a simulated Racing League.

Wow that is sooooo cool 🎉🎉🐝🐝
We hope you can watch tonight live, or later if you can't make the live race. It should be a great show. Daytona lends itself to close racing!
Would have been nice, but I’m travelling /on the road until Saturday evening. I’m not home. And I think the time difference is there too. I’m in Spain.
Maybe next time… 😎
Good luck 🍀🎉🤞🏻
You can watch anytime! The race will be on YouTube.
Ok… didn’t know. Will look later.
Thanks for letting me know @melinda010100
This is awesome, I hope we get loads of new Bees from it 🙌 Great work ❤️
Thanks! It has been such a fun project to work on. Many of the drivers are already learning to post into the NEED FOR SPEED community! I hope everyone supports them!
I'll have a look soon, am trying to get back on my posting schedule after a tough couple of weeks
That's awesome to see spreading HIVE over the world... And it's cool to see different Hivers collaborating!
This has been a fun project to work on! I've gotten to know lots of new Hiver's and lots of talented long time users that I had not met before. The best people hang out on Hive!
Congratulations. Good work !hivebits
