Online Racing Championship Association also known as the ORCA is a group that lets online racers experience a real professional racing world. They get to compete in professional races and even receive the rewards. Win a racing rookie wins a race they receive a virtual trophy filled with real rewards in the form of gift certificates.

These trophies are a fun gift basket idea. Each item in the basket when clicked on gives the receiver a gift certificate that can be printed out and used to claim their prizes. The prizes include discounts on things like hotels, restaurants, car rentals and plain tickets. These gifts are from sponsors. They can even put these decals from sponsors onto their online race cars.

This is a great way for racing fans to get in on the action and enjoy some of the benefits. The prizes are useful and the ceremony receiving them at the end of a won race is fun. These gift baskets add a perfect touch to the end of a fun and exciting event. These gifts make the day a bit more special for everyone involved, racers and the sponsors included.

For newcomer drivers to the Online Racing Championship Association (ORCA), finishing a race as a rookie is an achievement in itself. Though the competition is online, and simulated racing may be driven from the competitor’s favorite chair, there’s no question that hearts are pumping and winning still feels like victory – and that’s a feat to celebrate. ORCA knows their drivers and complements that thrill with an online presentation ceremony that provides the perfect cap to a hotly contested race. While ORCA can’t reward winners by actually putting trophies in their hands, it can reward successful sim-racers with real products via certificates for online gift baskets. The simulated sterling silver basket is crammed full of a racing lover’s goodies, all focused on the real Daytona 500.

Rookie winners claiming their online Daytona 500 gift baskets can click on the elements in the basket and print out certificates that provide them with discounts on airlines and car rentals, plus a hotel room right on the beach, and top restaurants in Daytona Beach. True to ORCA’s commitment to emulating NASCAR precedents, the certificates are all from sponsors. It’s a win-win situation. The rookies collecting the rewards also receive one more bonus – they can transfer those gifted sponsor decals onto their simulated racecar. Just like NASCAR, the more promotion the better, and for ORCA drivers, it takes the virtual experience one notch closer to the real deal.

ORCA Cup Champion Testimonial

“I bought a TSW2 well over a year ago, and it has given me zero problems and many wins. It has a twitch-free smoothness about it that simply cannot get any better. I’ve tried FF wheels, but could never nail down the consistency I wanted. My TSW2 wheel does exactly what I want it to every time. Plus, I can’t even remember the last time I had to recalibrate. After thousands of laps, it still feels the same as when it was new. It’s so precise and durable, there is no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t have won the championship without it.”
