GG to all the apex-worthy ideas and design submitted to the Sim For The Win Tee Design Contest in partnership with the sim wizards at iRacing! It was a pretty full grid to choose a winner from but congrats goes to Juan Lopez, whose 3-screened design submission was given a tuneup to become the "Speed Test" design you see here! The design is only available thru 3/8, so snag yours quick to show your love for all things e-racing.
Save some champagne for Brandon Wagner and Ed Carpenter too, who landed a spot on the podium with their own takes on nailing those virtual apexes. Not only did their runner-up status score some fine BS and iRacing credit, but the designs may made into a sweet shirt at a later date!
We reached out to find the coolest car enthusiast spots along I-95, and boy did you all deliver! We wish we coulda have taken some extra days to keep exploring more, but the t-shirts were a-calling.

You'll find a collection of some of our favorite photos we took along the way. Plus you can grab wallpapers of them for your desktop and mobile to apex everything.
