The Starting Grid

---

Here we go again for the 2nd edition of the SRS Team Championship p / b 4Fun Sim Racing!

After a successful first edition, we have doubled the Championships, supporting the BTCC ’98/’99 and BMW M235i series, in which 9 and 7 teams will participate respectively.

So now let’s move on to presentations, between old and new acquaintances.

BMW M235i Series

Drive to Survive

After getting awesome results in the first edition of the Team Championship, the DtS guys are back at start ready to show the guts on track on this challenging fixed setup series. I’m sure you’re waiting now for some word puns on sleeping or drinking… well, no. It’s time to be serious, so a beer toast to you and good night, guys!

Drivers: Martin Faber, Maurice Klerken, Amitesh Rao.

GentDrivers

A gentle – of course – wind of good manners will once again blow on the track with the skilled and affordable gentlemen of racing, ready to fight for the top places.

Drivers: Lars Mars, Tim Masson, Roman Bisanz, Christopher Myles, Abdon Socias.

TradePriceCars

A change in the roster for the TPC team: a warm welcome to Alex Leif, although we already miss the unseizable Sergio Mendez. As for the team strenght – well, here’s the cup. Congratulations.

Drivers: David Iglesias, Michael Martin, Alex Leif, Simon Speth.

PleasePushMe Simracing

The PPM team is ready to fight back on the track, and this time they are ready to push you instead of being pushed, so push on your throttle as much as you can to create a gap!

Drivers: Stefano Casamonti, Nicolò Bachetti, Simone Pinto.

Team Havoline

The Czech-Spanish team adds a little of South American spices to his racing recipe welcoming the “King of Slow Cars” Matheus Nolli on his roster. Beware: he’s fast also with fast cars, and Team Havoline will be a serious contender for the top places. Good luck!

Drivers: Juan Alberdi, Eduardo Odriozola, Michal Janak, Matheus Nolli.

4Fun Sim Racing

The 4Fun guys will rely on their “Italian Barrichello” Matteo Venuti, while Bucalo and Roncaglia will go on track between calculations and banner designing hoping to remember to add enough fuel, but they’ll try to do their best as usual. 

Drivers: Dario Bucalo, Gianluca Roncaglia, Matteo Venuti.

Pista & Fichi

This new all Italian team promises, as their name tells, some cheap but cool racing. But be careful: they’re strong, and won’t forgive you a single mistake on track. So, pistaaaaaa! (“make roooooom”!) 

Drivers: Davide Ramo, Andrea Giusto, Andrea Piovanelli, Simone Scuola, Simone Saviolo.

BTCC 98/99 Series

Thunder Crew Sim Racing

The Kings of Streams guys of TC are crashing the gates and getting in, and they are immediately spotting the podium steps on the challenging BTCC series, so be ready for great fights with them on track, wheter you’re driving a Nissan or a BMW, and don’t forget to watch their racing streams on late night Thursday!

Drivers: Alex Geier, Jack Mike Mass, Martin Sorg, Evgeni Arkov, Henrik Kjellberg.

GentDrivers

They’re gentlemen, but they’re hard at work! Not only the Gents are joining both the Team Championship series, but they’re also racing in their own league, where overtaking is forbidden since it’s rude and unpolite. But in SRS races they will overtake as much as they can!

Drivers: Lars Mars, Tim Masson, Roman Bisanz, Christopher Myles, Abdon Socias.

4Fun Sim Racing

The 4Fun guys will finally have Mr. “25-1-0” Omer Kinay back on the track, and are happily watching the site counter increase thanks to the thousand views of Omer’s Primera setup and track guides. Will they be able to run for the top?

Drivers: Dario Bucalo, Gianluca Roncaglia, Omer Kinay, Matteo Venuti.

Rose Team

A welcomed new entry, fresh and mighty like… a rose, of course. Although a rose smelling of fuel and hot tarmac, and in will of success. So, be careful with “The Name of the Rose”!

Drivers: Massimiliano Cazzaniga, Mauro Castelli, Francesco Senni, Davide Schinetti.

 HR Racing

Another great new entry with this UK duo, that will add a little British humour to races, although racing on fuel and not on tea and wanting to prove their skills! Open your umbrellas and get ready to start!

Drivers: Nicholas Hall, Andrew Roberts.

Italia Racing Team

The IRT guys are ready for the new season with an enlarged roster – welcome Fabio and Marco! – since they have a giant barbecue and a lot of meat to grill before and after every race, and they will uncork whisky instead of champagne after every win. Good luck!

Drivers: Matteo Deambrogio, Stefano Del Grande, Paolo Del Grande, Fabio Blascovich, Marco Di Paolantonio.

Pista & Fichi

The P&F guys are not only cool, they’re also overloading their schedule also joining the BTCC series. Running on enthusiasm and energy, they will be for sure hard to contend with, so be advised!

Drivers: Davide Ramo, Andrea Giusto, Andrea Piovanelli, Simone Scuola, Simone Saviolo.

Full Send Racing

This Italian-Canadian new team is really full sending and aiming for wins after wins, so be prepared to see them amongst the top teams! Max Verstappen, although contacted for being part of the team, refused to join due to unknown duties, maybe something with racing somewhere else. Anyway, he approved.

Drivers: Colin Chilibeck, Jason Jones, Giuseppe D’Andrea.

Broomgang

Last but not least – instead, probably first – the multicolor team of the B-racers will be for sure a strong contender for the final win, as everything they touch on track turns to gold – or at least changes colors. Good luck also to you, guys!

Drivers: David Broomhead, Luke Bouwmeester.

The teams are lined up… So, Ready, Steady, Go!
