A new team, a new car and an infamous corner

A new team, a new car and an infamous corner written by Shaun Bennett I’ve watched my teammate Jacob Anderson navigate the start, keeping the nose clean with little drama. The laps count down and soon it is time for the pit stop. 30 seconds of intense choreography to get four tyres changed, fuel on board and then there is the unpredictable driver swap. I’m starting to feel nervous, sweaty palms inside my gloves, the adrenaline is building. It’s the final lap of Jacob’s stint; he has driven great, a flawless stint. There’s no damage on the car and soon it is my turn. As the car trundles down the pit lane, I’m pumped, heart rate rising with anticipation. Let’s do this. Drivers swap; it worked! I’m in control of the McLaren 720s GT3 for the first time in race conditions. This is the time to show the new team they’ve made a good choice, time to show them what I can do. Pit stop complete, pull out from the pit box, hit the pit limiter and enjoy the long pit lane. It’s all gone to plan so far. The McLaren is feeling good, tyres are up to temperature, the balance seems okay. It’s the first time I’ve driven it with a full tank. Outlap complete, braking for the first corner, hit the apex, eyes towards the infamous Eau Rouge and Raidillion complex. I’ve been flat out over Raidillion before, it’s not too tricky. Just be smooth, confident in the line and you’ll be fine. Through Eau Rouge, just about to hit the limiter in 5th up through Raid...... The back-end twitches, I correct, over correct. Not good. I’m now looking at the concrete wall with only one outcome. I smash the wall, completely wrecking the front left corner. Luckily the car restarts. I’m frantic and at this point screaming and shouting in disappointment. Jacob attempts to keep me calm, helps me navigate the stricken McLaren back to the pits without impeding other drivers. We finally manage to get the car back to pits, repair the damage and it is time to do it all over again. Thankfully there is little drama after my rocky start and the pace is acceptable. As the laps count down I settle into a comfortable rhythm and we bring the car home, stone dead last. But we finish – top McLaren. My new team MSB Sim Racing is a Danish team who’ve been racing together for 1.5 years. A prestigious endurance sim racing team, they’ve participated in the #GTR24H 24h LAN event in Viborg and they have a class win in the 12 hours of Sebring. This young team knows what the top step of the podium feels like, knows how good the champagne tastes and expectations are high. After the first race I am disappointed with my performance, but the team is there to get me back on track quickly and forget about the incident. It’s clear to see that team boss Dennis Martlev is dedicated to the team along with Jesper Wium Hansen, and it’s no surprise they’ve had class wins in 24 hour events in other simulators. I’ve made the right decision to drive for this team. Read the full article

Who are AFP?

In a stacked field of teams for the GTR24H, a team with no prior 24-hour race experience enters. Who are they, and why would they enter GTR24H? Short History AFP - short for Apstineo Force Polonia, is a sim-racing team founded on the still active community of rFactor 1 in 2017. Until 2020, we only competed in rFactor 1 and Automobilista, before entering the rFactor 2 community, starting with FSR Academy. Why did we enter GTR24H? Quite simply, GTR24H is one of the best-organized endurance events, with some of the most skilled endurance drivers in sim-racing. We have done endurance racing before, consistently being on top in the GT3 class in EERC, but we are ready for a new challenge. By racing against the best, we can become better. Who are our drivers? Nürburgring 24-Hour Special Event We have 3 drivers entered for our team, all with amazing endurance and sim-racing skills in Ernests Lapins, James Dziuba and David Kalocsai. With this lineup, we hope to first of all finish the race, and hopefully get a good result while we are at it. What are our goals Same as most teams. We want to grow our team and community around it, and get successes in all forms of sim-racing, whether its endurance racing, open-wheel racing or GT racing. By racing against the best, like we are here in GTR24H, we can improve and hopefully become one of the best. Read the full article

Official Practice Tonight - From Both RF2 Servers and Hopefully With Interviews

Tonight from 20.30 CEST the official practice broadcast and live-stream will be on. We encourage the teams that took part in yesterdays GTR24H Sprint Series race at Brands Hatch to show up for interviews on the race. We already have a recorded interview with Jesper Nyvang Pedersen from Burst Esport, the winners of the race. But we would very much like to hear stories from everyone else as well. We are going to do something new tonight. We are going to stream content from both the EEWC Series 12 Hours of Nürburgring and the Special Event 24-hours of Nürburgring server. We are also happy to report that we got the real weather system rebooted. After Darksky announced they were being bought by Apple, we have had some degrees of trouble with the API service. But all of that is cleared now and everything is running perfectly. So boot up your Factor 2 installations and get ready for some practice laps with the other participants. AND WE HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT AGAIN! So tune in, and start your practice runs tonight! Read the full article

Rookie Monsters... rolling with ACC

With the big money attracting some big names the anticipation of green lights with in our team was building throughout the day. This was only our teams second ACC race, as we are usually an rFactor 2 exclusive team. The team manager, Simon Marshall and his new found team mate Kris Vickers raced ACC against each other at Online Touring Car Racing and only recently paired up to enter the 73 Bentley at short notice and with very little preparation time managed to qualify P16. Both brought the car home undamaged and drove a solid race finishing P8 in an incident free race and putting into practice good social distancing tactics by managing to avoid any contact through out the entire race. Matt Beavis and Mantas Rekus, both being very new to the ACC platform managed to surprise some by qualifying P7 in the 37 Aston, but some last minute tyre pressure changes hindered the car for Matts stint. He handed over early to Mantas to bring it home on more suitable tyre pressures, however disaster struck and Mantas’ pedals were not working so a trip to the pits to re-plug in the wheel sorted the problem allowing him to do a great recovery drive with plenty of on-stream action while he made his way back up to a respectable P12. Considering the strength of field, we as a team, will take that result and be happy with it, but we hope for even better results from our A-team of Matt and Mantas at Brands Hatch on May 13th as we all know they have winning potential. It was clear that there was a wide variety of driver and setup engineering ability across the field. We hope that a class system will be adopted to ensure all competitors are challenged and motivated throughout the entirety of the season.  It can be disheartening to be back at the back with no hope or prospect of points and believe it is a necessity to keep consistency and numbers of entrants to the highest standards. Lastly a big thanks and well done to all the organisers GTR24h, commentators, all our competition and especially the winners for a tough race and a top class stream.

24-Hours at Le Mans - GTE Podium

24-Hours at Le Mans - GTE Podium. Races can be won in a plethora of ways. Teams can win on superior fuel strategy, having fewer tire changes thus spending less time in the pits, being cautious and avoiding accidents, and preparing equipment vigorously to avoid hardware failure. But, in the end, all it comes down to is who travels the farthest distance in 24 hours. Through the season we have seen some stunning performances by the #45 DIS Sim Racing Lab. They have at some point or another led most of the races of the season. And finally, for Le Mans the final round of the season, they pulled off the win with Andi Kurtsen, Andreas Olesen,  and Rasmus Thulstrup at the wheel. Second place was grabbed by the #166 ID Simsport crew of Michael Pedersen, Magnus Berggreen, Markus Nedergaard Stæhr, and Jesper Pedersen with an equally strong performance in stability and pace. beating out the #488 Deuces Motorsport Crew of Eric Schmieder, Yannick Pliess, Patrick Pliess, and Dylan Klaver. A huge congratulations to all the GTE Podium finishers! For the championship, the #74 Deuces Motorsport Club with Vojta Polesny, Tonnie Jansen, Joao Barbosa, Roy De Muinck, and Juha Maki-Jouppi pretty much just needed to show up and finish the race. The #27 MCM-Motorsport suffered a catastrophic hardware failure that sent the car barreling onto the tire wall at Mulsanne corner at full speed. This event was very close to elevating the #45 DIS Sim Racing Lab to second in the championship, but because there is no rule for the number of laps needed to complete the race the #27 still scores 20 points for fifth place which means they get to keep their second-place finish in the championship. There will be more news and content on the championship in the coming days. Posters are available for digital download as well as in print from the GTR24H webshop, printing service and delivery provided by Printful.

24-Hours at Le Mans - GT3 Podium

24-Hours at Le Mans - GT3 Podium. Well, that was a nail-biter. You could not have predicted that after the first hour of the race. #585 Asetek Simsports by Volante Racing started from pole position, but that is not where they ended up at all. And in fact, they were lucky to be able to overtake the #777 DSR-GaddgetHuset.dk for second place. A funny thing about this race is that the fans actually pointed to one of the ID Simport cars as the winner, but that was the #166  instead of the #199. But they did get the team right with a whopping 41% of the votes! The finishing result also nearly had an impact on the final season result. Because if the #585 Volante Racing by Asetek Simsports didn't finish ahead of the #777 DSR-GaddgetHuset.dk, then the #404 of glam racing would have finished third instead of second in the championship. And the team beating them for second place would have been exactly the #777 crew.   The problems with pre-occupied drivers and some internet issues took their toll on the #404 GlamRacing crew and that is why we don't see them on the podium for the first time in four races. The Brasilian CKR team also made a glorious return, after winning at Monza and taking third at Sebring, but due to hardware problems this time around they failed to finish the race. Now here is the race result, points and being the last race, this is also the season result. But more on the season podium spots in separate articles to come. The final podium saw the #199 Ferrari of ID Simsport driven by Andreas Nygaard, Martin Svanholm, Mathias Hjorth, and Thomas Brejnegaard take the win in GT3, followed by Niels Hoogeveen, Maciej Kasprzyk, Elisio Netto, Alexander Secher, and Marc Vermeer in the #585 Audi of Asetek Simsports by Volante Racing. Finally, on the third step, Karl Lykkegaard, Michael Ciccolini, Steven Salgsgaard, Mathias Hårvig, and Mads Hedegaard driving the #777 DSR-GaddgetHuset.dk Callaway Corvette.

2023 EEWC Calendar

2023 EEWC Calendar. For 2023 we put the track choice to a vote. One vote amongst the teams and drivers, and another vote for the fans. The audience of fans is heavily skewed towards North American tracks simply because the majority of the fan base is from the USA. So you will see four tracks in the calendar from the North American continent. For the 2023 season, we decided to keep the overall length of the season the same, but include only one 24-hour race, making the Le Mans final all the more unique. The rest of the season is now six twelve-hour races. Why should you register with GTR24H for the 2023 EEWC ✔ The longest and toughest endurance championship in sim racing ✔ Free to participate, no fees, no expenses necessary ✔ Open to everyone ✔ Four-class full endurance racing ✔ Broadcast live and recorded to 40+ fast channel networks ✔ Ever growing platform and reach of the live coverage of races ✔ Rules changes suggested and decided by team managers 2023 EEWC Calendar   February 4th Daytona 12-Hours 6.88% of votes Daytona was a split second in the votes tied with Spa-Francorchamps. The track was included because it has wide long straights and the road course section is technical but not too challenging. It is a great track for a season opener with a new field of competitors that need to get to know each other's driving styles. We classify Daytona as a high-speed and low-downforce track.   March 4th Sebring 12-Hours 7.62% of votes Sebring was the clear winner of the vote. It's also a classic EEWC track that has been included in the series ever since it started and before that, it was raced as an annual special event. We love the track and the Florida spring weather that seems to always dish out surprises. This was the number one favourite track amongst the fans, but ranked only third with the drivers. Enough to win the vote though. Although featuring technical sections the track arguably features no less than five straights and that is the reason we classify this as a medium-speed medium-downforce track.   April 14th Spa-Francorchamps 12-Hours 6.88% of votes This track tied the vote for second place with Daytona. And it is an absolute classic not only in real-life endurance racing but in EEWC and GTR24H history as well. A side note is that this was mainly loved by the drivers and got only half the votes from the fans, as it got from the drivers. So a real driver's favourite. You can argue about Eau Rouge and Blanchirmont disturbing the full-throttle experience, but really in terms of speed the track features two massive straights. To us, that puts it in that high-speed mid-downforce category.   May 13th Road Atlanta 12-Hours 5.65% of votes You can argue this is the second most popular road course in the USA. Home to the annual IMSA finale known as the "Petit Le Mans". A track that ranked high with the fans while not being equally popular with the teams and drivers. It did tie for fourth with Nürburgring and Watkins Glen, but out of the three we chose Road Atlanta for it's unique character and challenging layout that favours the more nomble cars. The track ads even more variety to the season. This is a twisty track with blind entries and blind apexes and the front straight is even hardly a straight, which leaves only the back straight as the only proper top speed test of cars. We rank this as a slow-speed high-downforce track.   August 26th Monza 12-Hours 5.90% of votes Hold on, wait a minute! In third place, equally popular amongst drivers as fans we find the Italian temple of speed! Monza! This track needs no introduction. It's basically a straight that someone was careless enough to drop a couple of chicanes and 90-degree turns on. Dismantle your wings and aero devices, and maybe use it as a test for that Le Mans setup you will be needing later in the season. Monza has been the host of several GTR24H races in the past couple of decades and always provides thrilling racing.   September 23rd Road America 12-Hours 5.16% of votes Also known as Elkhart Lake's Road America is the track that tied 5th place with Silverstone and Indianapolis Road Course. Being the most popular amongst the drivers of the three and adding more diverse flavour to the series we chose to go with Road America. The track will add a varied layout to the calendar with its long straights and fast-flowing corners. The location in the moraine landscape of Wisconsin provides plenty of elevation changes to make the track a full plate of features.     October 28th Le Mans 24-hours The traditional double points finale to the EEWC. 24 hours around the french countryside near the town of Le Mans. We are hoping this time to be able to host the race once again as a physical event. How the event will be executed is still in the planning.   Intentions And Ambitions For 2023 There is a lot of stuff that we want to achieve for 2023, and stuff that we are still working on. - Peter Munkholm Read the full article

GTR24H EEWC 2022 LeMans Qualifying Results

GTR24H EEWC 2022 LeMans Qualifying Results. Today´s Qualifying in Round 6 at LeMans of the Endurance eRacing World Championship season we saw some great racing from all 4 classes. Today's Qualifying sessions the #18 Burst Esport Simplexity team stole all the spotlight with Michi Hoier continuously improving his lap times after some great driving and risky overtakes. Unfortunately, the incident between 18 Burst Esport Simplexity and the 488 Deuces MotorSports Club team didn't go unnoticed in the Race control area. Race control came to the conclusions that the 18 Burst Esport Simplexity will be penalized with 5 seconds penalty in Q2 for hitting the 488 Deuces MotorSports Club car from behind. The 488 Driver - Dylan Klaver did indeed keep his racing line.     This puts 18 Burst Esport Simplexity 2nd on the grid order for tomorrow's race start - that will definitely add excitement to the start of the race. The newcomer XRL Esports has shown great pace throughout the last couple of races - but the team has to fight extremely hard to keep the Burst Esport Simplexity team behind and with Drivers such as Jesper Pedersen, Michi Hoier, and Jerney Simoncic - is gonna be hard task to beat. The dominance of the Burst Esport team continues well into the LMP2 field of cars - but does the Goodr Sunglasses team have what It takes to keep the SEM9 Axle team behind? We do believe this fight is not gonna be easy and definitely one to watch out for as SEM9 has shown great pace at LeMans in prior events and we shouldn't forget the 15 Deuces MotorSports Club can make an obstruction to add extra excitement to the overall race result. Moving further into the GTE Field of cars - the 74 Deuces MotorSport Club dominated both Q1 and Q2 and took pole in both sessions - The 74 Deuces MotorSports Club team looks untouchable with the pace shown by Vojta Polesny - but the 27 MCM MotorSport team has won the last 2 races - especially 24 Hours of Spa Francorchamps and 12 Hours of Sao Paolo shouldn't go unnoticed. The GTE class is definitely not over yet - 74 Deuces MotorSport might win overall - but is all about showing dominance at LeMans which really counts in these extraordinarily talented drivers. LeMans is the prime - the gold - the bragging rights. Finally, we will be moving into the exciting Gt3 field of cars - the 585 Asetek Simsports by Volante Racing took pole and looks strong - but both the 13 CKR team, 777 DSR-Gadgethuset.dk and 404 Glam Racing are very competitive teams and could easily steal the spotlight. Whatever team that might cross the finish line - is gonna be the team with fewer accidents, a great pace,  and a strategy that lasts to finish line - 24 hour of racing is long uphill battle.  We want to wish all the teams a great race.  We can't wait for the race to kick off on Saturday 29th of October at 3 PM CET - this year's event will be an exciting one - properly one of the best races in along time. - Jon Fabricius Turell Read the full article

NetRange chooses GTR24H

NetRange chooses GTR24H. Traditional flow TV is dead, and discovery rates for long-form content on social media get progressively more challenging. The attention span for internet-based lean-forward media is constantly shrinking. Along with the almost totally absent fan culture around virtual racing, building an online target audience is a huge challenge to everyone in the niche. Rarely do you see any high-quality virtual racing productions break 5,000 consecutive viewers. GTR24H realised this obvious barrier in 2020 with experience from the 2019 EEWC season, the 2020 Sprint Series and our great partnership with ESTV. Today we live-stream our productions on social media solely to allow the participating teams to view the broadcast. We pivoted our strategy to target the long-form, lean-back platforms of the future. Today YouTube, Facebook and various smaller SoMe platforms provide less than a hundredth of a percent of the viewership of GTR24H content. As a part of that strategy, we are now revealing another world's first partnership in the esports racing scene. Who is NetRange Every SmartTV needs an operating system and a content platform, which is implicit in the name. The easiest way to implement the content platform on a TV is to buy white-labelled software and apply your own layout and graphics. And it is precisely such solutions that NetRange provide and they are the worlds leading provider of these solutions. Along with the software, NetRange also provides built-in apps, games and TV Channels. NetRange SmartTV partners include SmartTech, Phillips, Beko, Grundig, Vodafone, Thompson, Telesystem, TCL, Skyworth, Sharp, Loewe, Hisense, Dune HD, CVTE, Changhong, Ikea, Viddsee, Konka, WeTV, Mango TV, Tencent, KTC, and more. With NetRange all GTR24H content will be available as a built-in option on millions of smart TVs in more than 100 countries, providing the option for owners to lean back on the couch with a cold beverage or coffee and enjoy the thrills of esports endurance racing in a relaxed atmosphere. We are extremely proud of being part of Netrange white-labelled, turnkey Smart TV and OTT ecosystem - This launch will enable GTR24H brand to expand even further in the world of Smart TV content creation - Netrange will enable GTR24H content to be available for a wide range of TV providers in the industry directly from the Factory line. - Jon Fabricious Tyrel, GTR24H CEO. - Peter Munkholm Read the full article

Fans Vote For GT3 Le Mans Favourite

Fans Vote For GT3 Le Mans Favourite. We are booting up the new "EEWC Fans" Facebook group. And one of our initial activities is asking the fans for their favourites for Le Mans. You can join the other 600+ fans in the group here https://www.facebook.com/groups/eewcfans The vote is almost dead even between #585 Asetek SimSport by Volante Racing and #404 GlamRacing. And close for third was #188 Teleforeningen and #777 DSR-GadgetHuset.dk So here is your guess at the Le Mans podium 1st #585 Asetek SimSport by Volante Racing (34%) Currently listed as being driven by Niels Hoogeveen, Maciej Kaspryzk, Elliso Netto, Alexander Secher, and Arda Ercan. Sadly the team hasn't listed any more detailed information on the drivers. 2nd #404 GlamRacing (30%) The GlamRacing driver list currently shows Henrik Hoier, Calum Wilson, Jakub Kowalski, Lee Russell, and Jef Vanniljen. Henrik Hoier Started sim racing in late 2006 when a friend of his introduced him to GTR2. He then got into driving in the DGTL league in 2007. His first GTR24H event was in spring 2008 at Le Mans. He has been driving for several teams at GTR24H over the years including Grenaa bilhus racing, SimTech Motorsport and Innotech (today ID Simsport). Henrik has been a staple at every GTR24H since 2008, and never missed a year, if you count that Henrik in 2009 was a pit crew, not a driver. Henrik has been driving gtr2, Rfactor 2, Iracing and Race07 In 2013 Henrik won the GTE class at the GTR24H event together with Innotech. In 2018 Henrik won the Virtuel endurance championship LM-GT division 3 with Alexander van der Woude and SimTech Motorsport. Henrik has not done any real-life racing, he doesn't even have a driving license. Henrik loves sim racing and likes to set goals for himself, so he gets better and faster, and his goal in sim racing is someday maybe winning another EEWC event. Calum Wilson Age 30 (born 1992) - Nationality British Calum has been playing racing games since F1 2002 came out on PC! However, despite playing with the Codemasters F1 games, never decided to invest in sim racing until 2017. Calum picked up a quick play seat challenge, a cheap Ferrari wheel off eBay and was hooked and has been entering casual sim leagues since whilst having long and hard battles with team-mate Lee Russell over the course of the last 3 years! (The rig has also been heavily updated since then too!) After doing some mini-endurance leagues with World Sim Sports in 2019 and finishing runner-up with 2 wins and 5 podiums in 8 races, Calum is excited to take endurance racing a little more seriously. Favourite car in sim-racing is the Porsche 911 RSR GTE and in real life, it would probably be his Mini JCW. Dream car is a Datsun 240z. Jakub Kowalski Also known as Kuba Kubica, is very passionate about racing simulations.
