Our first resident of the Altus House has moved in!

Welcome Beau Albert!

Beau is streaming LIVE for the first time from the Altus House right now on Twitch @ https://www.twitch.tv/beaualbert for the Aussie Online Gaming Porsche Cup!

Pre Qualifying for the Virtual Racing School Sports Car Open Masters concluded yesterday, where Jordan Caruso & Cooper Webster were able to qualify their BMW M4 GT3 into the $25K prize pool series!

There were tougher times for our Audi & Lamborghini’s who fell short, however with the M4 we are set for a great season ahead.

Round 1 of the series kicks off in a couple of weeks at Hockenheim which should be fantastic!

We cannot wait to share with you updates on the build, setup tutorials, live racing streams and all kinds of other shenanigans.

Starting 3rd on the grid, Yannick got a solid start however the movers came from the 3rd row and made for a very tight Turn 1, resulting in a small bit of contact. Yan had dropped back to 4th and almost out of draft range however ran an excellent race to move up to P2 and create a gap back to the the third place battle. In the end Valentin Mandernach was too strong! Congrats to him!

A very satisfying day for Yan, showing again how much he loves this event. The next one can’t come soon enough!

James Scott & Andrew Kahl fielded the opening round of the Apex Hunters United Endurance Series, and didn’t put a foot wrong for the majority of the race, opening up a staggering 50 second lead before a late safety car erased the deficit.

At the restart, we controlled the position well before tangling with a lapped GT3 runner resulting in an unfortunate drive through penalty. With only 20 minutes left in the race, Andrew put in a tremendous fightback to reclaim second place and was hunting down the leader before just running out of laps.

Nevertheless the performance was exceptional and we have evey reason to be confident moving into the next round of the series. Congratulations to our friends at Drop Bear Motorsport who didn’t put a foot wrong and claimed a great victory.

It’s time for a NEW series! The first ever Apex Hunters United Endurance Series is due to kick off later today, run by Shane van Gisbergen, Nick Foster & OSR – Oceanic Sim Racing.

We’ve entered a Porsche RSR in the GTE class to be piloted by Andrew Kahl and James Scott, with Round 1 kicking off with 4 Hours of Silverstone.

Watch LIVE at LETS Race at 6PM AEST!

Round 6 of the V8 SCOPS Premier Series was run at the weekend at Donington Park and after five rounds, it has been an extremely tight battle with Trans Tasman Racing and Round 6 was no exception.

Qualifying was kind to Cooper Webster, getting Pole Position in both the Sprint and the Feature race, continuing our strong run of qualifying performances and one lap pace. However, the races would turn out to be a more difficult affair, with our long run pace being a little behind our friends at TTR.

Jordan Caruso would manage the tyres best in Race 1, taking the victory ahead of a fast closing Madison Down. Cooper unfortunately lost out on the final podium slot at the penultimate turn, but came home in fourth with James Scott close behind in 5th.

Race 2 would again see Cooper have a strong run early out front, however was undercut in the pit stops from both Madison and Jordan to come out in 3rd place after the pit stop. After a mid race safety car, it was all to play for between the two teammates, with Jordan nursing older tyres and Cooper trying to make the definitive move. At race’s end, Jordan and Cooper would finish 2nd and 3rd, behind race and round winner Madison Down.

The competitiveness and friendly rivalry with TTR is pushing everyone really hard and made for a very enjoyable season so far. This culminated in both teams having 5 drivers each inside the Top 10 of the Race 2 standings. Can it get much closer!?

Special mention also to Beau Albert finishing with a solo PB finish of 9th in Race 2, after more than 9 months out of a V8 Supercar!

Next round… Watkins Glen! That’s sure to be a big one.

We may be a little slow with our news report, but we were far from that on the race track last time out at Charlotte, starting from qualifying with Seth DeMerchant getting a front row start for the first time during this campaign, and three cars within the top 8.

The race itself would prove to be strong for the Altus trucks, as the long run pace looked really solid, and some good strategy calls helping to push towards the front. It looked like a victory was on the cards with Merch and Jordy both running at the front at times.

It looked set for a grandstand finish with Merch closing in just laps from the end, before getting loose and tagging the outside wall just as it was time to pounce. Nevertheless though, an Altus 2-3 finish was a great result and one we can continue to build on.

Michael Cosey Jr & Matt Danson recorded Top 20 finishes, while Braden Boulos was left with nowhere to go in a late caution, and had to retire from the race.

Two races to go in Round 1 of RTP. Martinsville this week and Dover and two week’s time. Let’s get to Round 2!

We are delighted to announce the arrival of 2021 Porsche Esports Supercup competitor Carlos Fenollosa to the team as we strive toward a return to the series in 2022.

We have big goals for the next year, with some big moves incoming. Watch this space!
