Jordan Missig’s journey from sim to Indy NXT is one of the topics covered in this week’s Sim Racing Roundup. I also have details on how to optimize F1 25, the return of the Skip Barber Formula iRacing Series and the latest sim racing news and tech reviews!
From Sim Racing to the Real Thing
Jordan Missig’s journey has been an interesting one. After making a few guest appearances in the 2024 INDY NXT by Firestone Series, Jordan returned for his first full-time season with ABEL Motorsports in 2025. Jordan won the 2024 Radical Cup North American Series Championship where he earned 9 wins and 16 podiums with Graham Rahal Performance and the Radical Indianapolis team. He also finished third in the Radical World Finals in Abu Dhabi.
Jordan has climbed to INDY NXT after racing in USF Pro 2000, Lamborghini Super Trofeo, Formula Regional Americas and Karting. He is also an FIA IT-B Silver licensed driver and SCCA Pro racer. Jordan has relentlessly chased his dream of making it the top of motorsports. Whether he is perfecting his technique on his simulator or practicing on the track, Jordan’s commitment to his craft is evident. He is driven by one goal – to compete in IndyCar, Formula 1, NASCAR or IMSA’s Prototype/GTP Series.
You can listen to Jordan’s story on a recent edition of the Cars Yeah podcast here.
Cammie Sturch has created a series of social media templates for sim racers and drivers. “This pack was built in response to repeated requests from drivers who needed a clean, branded way to share race announcements, results, and updates quickly and easily. It’s compatible with Photoshop, Affinity Designer, and GIMP, and requires no more than typing in your name and toggling layer visibility.” Full details can be found here.
Sophia Floersch is no stranger to endurance racing, and the 24-year-old recently teased fans with a photo ahead of the upcoming Le Mans event. The German racing star shared a post of herself on social media behind the wheel of a simulator in preparation for the Circuit de la Sarthe event. Sport Skeeda has more details on how she uses the sim to prepare for the 24 Hours of Le Mans here.
