CARLOS BOUNCES BACK AT CATALUNYA

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!

STRONG ROUND THWARTED BY CONTACT IN FEATURE

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!

ALTUS ESPORTS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM FRANCHISE

undefined

We are super excited to have the iconic Blue and Orange represented on the star-studded grid, featuring high-profile race teams such as Subaru Motorsports USA; Gronholm RX and industry entertainment legends such as Nitro Circus.

This is a fantastic milestone for the Team, and both our drivers are working exceptionally hard behind the scenes to chase that Teams Championship.

Let’s get ready to launch into the season!

#WeAreAltus

THE ONE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

The Bathurst 1000 is the great race of Australian motorsport, and the V8 SCOPS Premier Series Bathurst 1000 is Sim Racing’s equivalent. We had an awesome race for the majority of the day out front (and a troublesome one for our others!), with the #12 of Cooper Webster and Jordan Caruso leading 99 laps of the race. Ultimately a strategic error from our side led us to finish well down on where we could have finished in the end, but that’s how it is sometimes when you roll the dice.

We had some really notable performances of course from the #12 car who did an awesome job all day, and the #83 car of Ryan Wood and Simon “L8AP3X” Feigl who started 52nd and climbed up into 9th position despite a massive 56 second stop and hold early in the race from a pitstop error.

Our oval racers Matt Danson and Christian Pedersen were absolutely stoked to come home in 13th place in their first ever V8 SCOPS Bathurst 1000 – Congrats to them!

The mountain bit hard for our #024 and #088 cars that unfortunately could not finish the race, however both ran very strongly during the race before their incidents.

Lastly, congratulations to Madison Down and Josh Anderson from Trans Tasman Racing on claiming the great race! We’ll be back next year to do it all again I’m sure!

BRINGING THE OVAL TO THE MOUNTAIN

Tomorrow’s V8 SCOPS Premier Series Bathurst 1000 will see a unique Altus car on the grid, fielded by traditionally Oval racers Matt Danson from Australia and Christian Pedersen from the United States. It’s a blend of our traditional Supercar livery and the variations we make for the NASCARs we’ve come to see regularly in the ‘Altus Train’.

Watch out for the #030 Holden – they’ll be starting from 38th on the grid for the great race!

MERCH TAKES ROAD TO PRO VICTORY AT BRISTOL!

The penultimate round of the eNASCAR Road to Pro Round 2 season took place at Bristol Motor Speedway. The race got off to a poor start for Jordy Lopez, crashing heavily and retiring on just Lap 2, however being second in the standings going into the round, he was locked into the eNASCAR Contender Series already.

However that’s where the bad end, as Seth DeMerchant was peerless out front, only losing the lead on one occasion during the race to take a strong win, making it Back to Back Altus victories in eNASCAR Road to Pro.

It was a season best result for Christian Pedersen, running inside the Top 10 all race to come home in 5th place doing his qualification chances a world of good with just one round to go. It was a quieter run for Michael Cosey Jr. however yet another solid points haul in the bag has him sitting pretty ahead of the final race of the season at Phoenix.

Let’s go!

ANOTHER PODIUM TO FINISH PESC QUALIFYING SERIES

The PESC Qualifying Series is over, and it’s another P3 finish for Cooper Webster, moving up from P5 on the grid. It rounds out a fantastic series for Cooper, who by our calculations finished P2 in the standings.

It was heartbreak once again with a horrible netcode taking Jordan Caruso out of the action at Turn 1 and on for a nervous wait for Contender Qualification. We think he is inside the Top 15, but we’ll wait the official numbers before we get too excited!

ENASCAR ROAD TO PRO 1-2 AT TEXAS!

What a result!

Jordy Lopez Jr has been knocking on the door of a victory for the last few races and managed to get it done, taking our first victory of the eNASCAR Road to Pro Qualifying Series with Seth DeMerchant following him home in 2nd place.

This result locks Jordy in for the Road to Pro Contender Series, and he now sits 2nd in the standings. For Merch, P2 secures his best finish of the season and moves him within striking distance of locking himself in for the Contender Series.

It was a more difficult night for CP and Cosey, battling in the mid pack and bringing home a solid result giving their qualification aspirations little harm with two rounds to go.

Confidence is on a high and we can’t wait to get to Bristol! Let’s go!
