SRT – TWISR & New Show Launched

The guys over at InsideSimRacing.tv have lots of changes in store this week as a brand new format has been launched, moderated by a new co-host.

Following Jessica Lopez who was with the guys for several years, Cristy Aranguiz joins the guys as the new female co-host.

Alongside the new episode of This Week in Sim Racing, SRT is also launching a new talkshow format called “Opinion Nation”, answering the controversy that was caused in the last TWISR show.

The first Opinion Nation is hosted by Shaun Cole & Cristy Aranguiz, in the future the guys will also invite other sim racers to join in on their discussions on various sim racing topics.

    Jessica is better!

    Jessica was slightly better looking and wore skimpier outfits. This girl is pretty and has a better broadcasting voice and mannerisms.

    New Boobs to bring back viewers, Smart plan Darin.

  • Joe Grover

    Shawn and Darin said that she has a news background. She will start to get the hang of the timing and slow down her talking a bit. She’s used to having to deliver a ton of news information in a very short time before the next commercial. Give her a chance to settle in. I think she’s going to be really good. It will also be great experience for her, learning some other types of broadcasting.

    Darn that lady is a pro, she could talk your wheels off – scary! ;)

  • Anonymous

    Her voice is really good but she talks to fast and she looks a bit bored and arrogant.

  • Varazdat Markosyan

    Where Jessica go? Bring her back. She’s so sexy.

    Just a polite reminder to keep it respectful guys. This isn’t YouTube.

    put the script right next to the camera so when she reads it doesn’t look to weird with her looking away so much. Also she should really slow it down a bit like most said here. Overall I can already taste a little more professionalism in the videos probably that she brought with her experience which is a good thing just dont overdo it.

  • GamerMuscle

    Its a bit strange to me , to get a woman almost for woman’s sake

    Just picture how weird it would be if they got a guy co host that looked
    like he did not play driving simulators or did not come across
    as knowledgeable in the subject area. everyone would rip the … out of them.

    I’m sure over time this new host will get better and be more natural and
    casual with them as they build some chemistry , in some ways having an outsider perspective can be good , as they can be someone to explain things to thus also explaining things to the audience.

    Personally I would have loved to have seen a alien or near alien racer co host or at least a high skill level racer as that would be good for giving another level of depth to reviews or the conversation.

    Not that Darren and Sean are bad sim racers in fact they seem to be very competent , just not that top level. Out of all the simracing you tube channels there content and coverage is probably the best due to the fact that they are very much into the hobby / have a passion for it.

    Anyway its not easy to make constant content and I’m sure over time this new presenter will get into the swing of things and help with the production of the show allowing for more content to be produced.

  • Joe Grover

    Thank you!

  • Joe Grover

    Was Jessica a sim racer? Did she have a rig in her house? Was she fast on the track? I doubt it. She was a sweet heart and was enjoyable on the show. I think Cristy is the same.
    In regards to her interest in racing/sim racing: Her license plate says “The Stig”. Uh… Hello? LOL

  • GamerMuscle

    I would say the same for jessica , at first she came across as a token women , like I said once they spend more time working together there will be some chemistry and it wont seem so strange presumably she will get sucked into the dark world of sim-racing as well, as is what happened with jessica.

    As for having “the stig” as a license plate ,there are millions of people that watch top gear and have a passing interest in motor sport , that is not the same thing as having an active interest in computer games simracing , VR, Actual racing of cars , physics and haptic technology.

  • Joe Grover

    “As for having “the stig” as a license plate,there are millions of people that watch top gear and have a passing interest in motor sport”

    “The Stig” on her plate is much closer to what we all want than “Fluffy Bunny”. :)

  • gt3rsr

    LOL, do they really need a chick in their team to attract some viewers?

  • gt3rsr

    LOL so true :)

  • Den

    Considering how bad the ‘show’ itself normally is, yes.

  • Matt Orr

    If you want women on the internet there are about fifty bajillion of them if you look in the right place. So really, what does it matter what she looks like?

  • Gunja

    She sounds great, just like a presenter should.
    She is gorgeous too. A keeper i hope :)

  • Anonymous

    The most important thing is during these tough austerity times, at least they are employing locals, maybe they should have employed you, you did say you need to put your words to video ;)

  • Den Burnout

    She probably got bored hanging out in Mom’s basement making Youtube videos with ‘Darin the big CEWEBRITY!!!!!!!!!’ and possibly even got a job in the real world. Gasp! lol.

  • Den Burnout

    ‘Employed’ is a funny word to use to make a Youtube video. lol.

  • Den Burnout

    It’s all just damage control to gloss over Darin’s behaviour anyways. His latest was harder to wash under the bridge as this time he went public rather than his usual calling people names, etc by PM and email and of course at iRacing especially people finally saw the true Darin Gangi exposed.

  • http://www.facebook.com/nicolas.grignon Nicolas Grignon

    So when I say “pathetic” it must be a swearing word, because my post was censored! so here again “this is pathetic… “

  • Joe Grover

    Yeah. Yeah that’s it. A communist plot. Keep at your smear campaign. Maybe you can take down ISR. LOL

  • Den Burnout

    Just the truth is all.

  • Joe Grover

    Not really but ok. Whatever. :)

  • Den Burnout

    Darin is QUITE well known for his PMs. I’ve gotten a few myself so know it’s a fact. They;re quite funny really, especially the “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!!??!” part and the explanation that he is a BIG ceWEBrity. His latest blowup is nothing new for him, just public this time, so yeah, a fact.

  • steve30x

    Yoou must have missed his antics. He has been a nasty man in public too. I saw a clip of him on the start of the new show but I didnt see what he said. It looks like he went off the rails completely.

  • Joe Grover

    Your comment was about the new host being damage control. I think not. That is all.

  • Den Burnout

    Ah. That’s cool. I just disagree which is okay of course as I feel the point of discussing IS that we can have differing opinions. No problem there. I do honestly think though it partly is and is also why Darin wasn’t on as I suspect he’s hiding until his latest rant blows over.

  • Joe Grover

    My guess is that they’ve been working on getting a new co-host for a while since it adds to the show. You can’t pull one out of thin air. But I must admit, I’ve never tried. :) Anyway. It’s OK to disagree as you mentioned.

    Cheers,
    Joe

  • Den Burnout

    That could be true also and still be damage control as Darin has over time been spiralling more and more out of control and possibly Shaun was seeing this coming eventually. Also, both of them seem to be under the delusion it’s real “TV”. lol.

  • Den Burnout

    Truth is I feel bad for Darin as I hope he hasn’t had his real life job affected by his online behaviour and delusions. Or worse that his friends (I guess it possible he has them.) and family being affected by it.

    You and 8 other guys are blind as H***

  • http://www.facebook.com/mario.smith.79677 Mario Smith

    Yes, we should get rid of professionalism.

  • http://www.facebook.com/mario.smith.79677 Mario Smith

    Have you noticed the amount of cleavage on this show? I dont need it but these are different times.

  • SKID

    Take it easy – that was just a troll post.

    As for me I even didn’t see this video and don’t wanna do it ))

    H*** is hawk? )) Hawk has great vision. Muahaha, X**
