The 24H Series Esports kicked off with 6 Hours of Hockenheim. Simone Maria Marcenò did an exceptional job in the Porsche 992 by qualifying strongly and then taking an early lead in a tight battle early on. He was able to stretch his legs once free of the chasing pack and pulled a 33 second lead before handing to Jordan Caruso. With such a strong lead, Jordan just had to manage the gap for the final third of the race and did a superlative job to take the chequered flag and win by 49 seconds! A fantastic way to start!

It was a tougher race for our Porsche GT3R, who would start in 6th and run as high as 4th before dropping pace especially in the longer runs relative to our competitors. This left us vulnerable especially on the double stint where we would lose the bulk of our time. After a late battle with Arnage and two Vendaval cars, we’d drop back to finish in 12th.

It’s a case of agony and ecstacy from our two cars. It’s brilliant to take another win in a NEO Endurance series race, and we’re incredibly proud of that. We’ll be pushing hard to get similar success in GT3 next time out at Sebring next month!

There’s just something about Road Atlanta that just seems to gel, however it didn’t go all our way. Jordan was DQ’d in qualifying out of nowhere, and couldn’t avoid the Lap 1 carnage to finished well down in the sprint race.

Cooper didn’t quite get qualifying right however it turned to be a blessing in disguise. Starting in 8th, Cooper serenely drove around knowing that an 8th placed finish would give him the feature pole position, and that is exactly what he did. Once on Pole and through the opening lap, he was never challenged, and managed to dominate the feature to win by 3.6sec, backing up his Road Atlanta win in the qualifying series. Huge points day for Cooper!

Jordan drove a stonking feature race, to avoid some early incidents and make some measured passes to climb up 13 places from the grid to finish P11 and earn some much needed series points!

With two rounds to go, we enter Long Beach next weekend where literally anything can happen (and it usually does!).

Fantastic effort by Simone Maria Marceno, Luke McKeown and Yannick Lapchin who have managed to take a Sixth place in the 8.3k SOF GTD class after a brutal 10 hour event!

It was a race of attrition, but our guys all proved their worth today under extremely challenging conditions, hunting down that Top 5 to just 4.1 seconds into the final hour.

We can’t wait to return for 2022, but until then, bring on the next Special Event for the year

After a torrid opening round at Hockenheim, Carlos Fenollosa was determined to bounce back on his home track. Qualifying didn’t go all his way being in 22nd, however he made up for it with a serene performance to avoid the mess and hold a strong pace in the sprint before further progressing to 8th in the feature! A great points day.

It was troublesome for Cooper and Jordan however, after Cooper had a poor getaway from 4th on the grid, he would later be spun from an out of control car and drop to the back. Despite setting the fastest lap, he could do no more than 22nd. He drove an awesome feature and made his way to 11th before harsh side by side contact on the final corner put him on a roll and on his side, taking away strong result at that last moment. Brutal!

For Jordan he has the worst luck. Since finishing 3rd at Hockenheim, he’s been hit in the rear in each race since! Let’s hope the driving standards improve for the next race so he can show the results he’s capable of.

Onto Red Bull Ring next week with a point to prove! Let’s go!

Round 1 of the Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup got off to a great start, with Cooper and Jordan qualifying P4 and P6 respectively, while Carlos missed out on converting his pace in qualifying.

The opening race was very strong, with Cooper and Jordan both advancing forward in the races and scoring well with a 3-4 finish. Carlos too had progressed strongly before dropping out with contact mid-race.

The feature started well however Cooper was turned on Lap 2, and Jordan hit on the rear at the hairpin on Lap 3 dropping them to the end of the pack and ruining any chance of a good feature result. Carlos is looking forward to getting to next round at Barcelona after a double DNF round.

Overall we leave feeling optimistic of our performance, despite the results not all going our way.

Bring on Round 2!
