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.

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

GlamRacing 404 race recap From Le Mans 2022

GlamRacing 404 race recap From Le Mans 2022. After a bland Qualifying, we were starting on p4 on the starting grid for the 24 hours of Le Mans with Lee Russell behind the wheel. Lee had a blinding start by putting the 777 DSR-gadgethuset car under pressure and passing them under the Dunlop bridge on lap 1, he retained the pushing and passed CKR on lap 3 of the race going down to the 1st chicane on the Mulsanne straight using all of the slipstreams. So, within the first couple of laps, we went from p4 to p2 on the grid. Lee stayed on a really fast pace through the 2 stints, and at the end of his first couple of stints he handed the car over to Jarrod - Jarrod had some really good stints - staying out of any trouble and driving a good and steady pace. Taking over for Jarrod was Henrik and he took it nice and easy in the first stint, mostly just struggling with rear tire temperatures, after a new set of boots and a full tank he went to push mode and took around 20 seconds out of the competition before he sends the driving duties on to Nick Newcombe, and then trouble begins to show its ugly head. We got a DQ due to having turned off the headlight after we had blinked at a GTE car despite us not being able to see the lights really working and without any sort of warning from the game or from Race Control, so we had to just take a penalty for that. Now being 3 laps down we had contact with the leading DPI car that gave us enough damage that we had to repair the car, which took 70sec, but we opted to refuel and keep the tires. Henrik got back in the car and just tried to push as fast as he could while trying to stay out of trouble which he managed very well - so after 2 good stints he handed the car to Lee. Lee did have some issues with a battery that started to act up which meant he had some troubles with his wheel - but he got it fixed. When Lee took over the car, we were in P6 in class, but luckily for us but sadly for them, 188 Teleforeningen had some kind of issue so they DQ’ed, which meant that we got up to P5 with about 14 hours of the race left. In Lee’s 2nd stint he managed to unlap us from the leader in the class by a lap and had a great stint from then on. A very rested Jarrod was ready to take over from Lee - and he was just flying around on track making the great pace and staying clear of any bad luck. But unfortunately after the driver swap between Jarrod and Nick - our luck ran out again - we could not steer clear to an incident between Nick Newcombe and the Viadukten car which unfortunately required a reconnect and Race Control also gave us a 60 seconds stop and go penalty, so we were again down in 5th place. Nick stayed in the car after the stop-and-go but was unlucky to get tapped by DPI number 48 at Arnage which ended up costing us an extra pitstop, during the pitstop we decided to change drivers, Henrik was next up and he put in 3 fast stints in the early morning hours till Jerrod took over the car for another 3 stints With Jarrod behind the wheel, the 188 (Teleforeningen) had a disconnect which meant that we were back in 4th for the race, which also meant we would have enough points to secure 2nd place in the overall GT3 championship. We had decided that Lee would be the driver behind the wheel for both the race and the season - and of course, Lee being Lee; he never drives slow and did what he could to reduce the gap between us and the P3 car - And with 20 left of the race we could kind of taste the 3rd place because car 777 DSR-Gadgethust had technical issues and had rejoin the server again which meant when the checked flag fell - We were instead of 7 laps behind them only 3 laps. At the end of the race, we had no other things to worry about race-wise, so we had an internal competition to see who came closest to the remaining fuel in the tank at the end of the race and just making the best out of the remaining season finale. We finished just short of the final race podium on P4 but we are happy that we came out of the race this good because we did have a few difficult moments where things just didn't go well for us - and we might not have won a place on the podium but we got the second place in the GT3 Championship allover. We at GlamRacing just want to give the biggest thank to all of the other teams in GT3 - Thank you for the amazing battles this season, for keeping us on our toes, and for just such a wonderful vibe there has been between all of the team in GT3. To all of the folks in GTR24H, Commentators, Race Control, and everyone in broadcasting - ALL OF YOU! Thank you for giving us the EEWC and for keeping us awake in all of the dark hours of the nights. Thanks to all who have supported us this season - for seeing the live streams, sharing, and likes. Lastly thanks to our sponsors GrizzlySimgineering and Powerwrap.   - Maria Rinhack 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. He began with Geoff Grammonds Grand Prix 2 in 1996 with a keyboard, his first racing wheel was a Logitech Force EX, which he used for about 3 years playing F1 Games and Need For Speed 3,4 on PC until ca. 2000. Kuba then did not have a PC until 2010 and played Console racing games during this period. After playing Codemasters F1 2010 on Xbox, he decided to buy a PC, a wheel the Logitech G27, which he still uses today, the Pedals were upgraded to Fanatec V3 in 2017. Lee Russell Age 41 - Nationality British. An experienced and successful sim racer who has been racing for the best part of 15 years. A multiple-race winner in various championships and a rfactor stalwart since the early days. Lee has the opinion that to be the best, you must learn to drive anything fast no matter how difficult it may be. Lee has entered many endurance series including the GTR24H 24hr of Spa 2020 together with Henrik, which was GlamRacing's first race. Jef Vannijlen Age 43 - Nationality Belgium, also known as Jeeve79, is very passionate about video games in general since he was a child and especially simulator games like race sims and combat flight sims like DCS World. He has always loved racing games from the very first time he saw Pole Position on the Commodore 64 when he was 6 years old. From Geoff Grammonds Grand Prix and Stunt Car Racer on the AMIGA and then into PC gaming, when that became a thing, he was all over it. Sportscars GT – Grand Prix Legends – EA F1 - Simbin GT Legends – Nascar 2003 – Rfactor1 – Live For Speed - Assetto Corsa... He ran Iracing for 2 years but when he went back to Rfactor2, he realized how good it feels on the limit and how connected you are with the car. He bought an MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 joystick in 1998 and a Logitech G25 in 2006 and still uses these on a daily basis. According to him, it just won't break and he has no excuses to buy anything else. The leather on his G25 rim has worn away in places but got it patched up with bicycle handlebar tape. Jef has been racing leagues since Nascar 2003 but really got hooked into it thanks to Rfactor1. In - Peter Munkholm Read the full article

They should have easy, open access, with no gatekeepers, to a platform that supports their creative freedom and content. They are able to share their stories freely and have a chance to be discovered and supported by audiences who share their passion.   FlixHouse is not the biggest partner, but supporting indie creators is close to our hearts, as we strive to support grassroots sim racing as well. And with 10.000+ downloads of their Android App, FlixHouse isn't particularly small either.  Whatever common quantity there is between lovers of indie movies and virtual racing fans, it is bound to be small, but as long as the values match, we are very pleased. You can get the FlixHouse app on Google Play, Apple App Store, Ruko, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV. - Peter Munkholm Read the full article
