And here’s Ruud de Wit in a shakedown lap around our home base Zandvoort

In NL.iRacing Ruud ended up dominating the lap charts from the drop of the flag in the Mustang Cup. Ruud won every event he entered in the SFH livery equipped Mustang. The series had a nice schedule featuring Barber Motorsports Park, Infinion, Road America and Laguna Seca were good venues to race. Unfortunately attendance seemed to drop a bit during the season. In the end Ruud claimed the inaugural iRacing championship at Simracing.NL, his first since 2005.

The Escors Endurance Series is a multiclass series featuring the HPD ARX-01c LPM2 car, the Corvette C6R GT1 and the Ford GT GT2. Races are 1 hour and 30 minute races held on 6 different locations. Initially Ruud signed up as an LMP2 driver, but discovered after finishing 2^nd the first race that the LMP2 was not his preferred class. Kindly the series administrators agreed and allowed Ruud to wheel a Corvette C6R GT1 from round 3 onwards. Like in the Mustang Cup there was a prominent and dominant role for the SFH racecar from the get go. Ruud started with 2 solid wins on the old tire model C6R on Watkins Glen and Road America. Shortly before the Silverstone event there was the unexpected introduction of the new tire model. In the practice and qualifying leading up to the race the gap looked smaller then before, but nonetheless the SFH Corvette won the race with ease lapping the entire field as done at Road America. Coming into the season finale there were still 4 C6R runners who could claim the title. Early in practice it was obvious Ruud was once again the driver to beat. He claimed pole by a good 2.5 second margin and during the race again putting everyone a lap down. The win at Spa meant Ruud claimed a second championship in a single season.

Whats Next? Ruud currently runs the Impala B COT on ovals wiz ze germanz in the iRacing Sim Series to work on his oval setup skills. The season consists a massive 18 races of which 8 are have been completed.  Ruud currently is 3^rd in points after missing race 1 and 8.

In the fourth and final race in the SR Multileague Reloaded season, SFH entered with two teams: Corvette and Saleen. The SFH Saleen team had a strong season start but due to a disconnect they are now the runnerup in the championship standings. SFH Corvette only first joined in the second event, but since this is a double points event, both teams can still take the championship. As could many other teams. Much was riding on this race.

But problems arose for both teams before the race had started. The Saleen team had a drive lineup problem. Due to conflicting agenda’s Robin Verdegaal was to stand in for Wilfred van den Brink who couldn’t race the first part, and stay to relieve Dennis Douna who wasn’t able to race until the finish. However an overlooked rule in the driver enrollment regulations prohibited Robin to take part.

But that was nothing compared to the trouble that the Corvette team had. They didn’t even make it to the starting grid when Johan Nieuwenhof’s car would not join the warmup lap. No race for Johan and Marcel Offermans. ..or was it?

A quick regulations check revealed that Marcel Offermans would be eligible to drive for the Saleen team. Problem solved, now all Marcel had to do was get to know the Saleen within the first two-hour stint of Dennis Douna. And he did, and a flawless stint followed, driving the SFH Saleen to a solid 2nd place early in the race.

And that’s where they would be for the remaining 8 hours. The leaders, VRL Endurance Team, were too fast to catch up with. But they weren’t competition for the season championship. The real contenders, Witchwood racing, ran into trouble before the race was halfway. In true endurance spirit they continued with a damaged car, but in the end had to throw in the towel.

This opened up the road to the championship for the SFH Saleen. The only thing they had to do was finish. And they did! SFH Saleen are the proud champions in the SR Multileague Reloaded GT1 class.

Race one in the eleventh season of NL.GTR took place in Elkhart Lake on the circuit of Road America. Three SFH cars made it to the grid: Dennis Douna in the Porsche 997 and Johan Nieuwenhof and Robin Verdegaal in Spyker.
The team was looking to challenge reigning series champion Reijer de Nooijer but taking pole position he proved to be a hard man to beat. The race took off in a positive way but went upside down in the finale. Enjoy the race video review.
The complete racereport.

The iRacing GrandAM Premier Series consisted of a 10 race season with races every two to three weeks, starting in February and finishing in August. With the possibility of driving two-races per event, the best 9 week results would account for the final score.

András took the chequered flag in top spot 15 times during the season. Enough to dominantly take the title in the Riley Daytona Prototype class. His nearest rival, American Morgan Sowerby found himself 208 points behind after the engines went silent at Mid-Ohio.

The Mid-Ohio race itself turned out to be a small deception for the SFH driver. While comfortably leading the 90 minute race, András suffered from a disconnect with only two laps to go. A quick reconnect put him a lap down in 5th place. Despite this last-minute bad luck, the season statistics are still impressive: 15 wins out of 17 races, starting all races from pole and leading 1121 out of 1230 laps.

With the first-ever GrandAM Premier Series trophy being shipped to the Netherlands, András earned his place in the iRacing record books. Look out for another shot at the title next year!

The Belgian VRL 2011 Fall Trophy started on home ground, on the circuit of Zolder. Twentyfive turbopowered machines battled eachother for an hour long race. SFH’s Robin Verdegaal chose the powerful but tricky BMW M1 and took poleposition with a personal lap record, close in front of reigning champion Ricardo Michalewski.

After a fast first stint however it was Tim Vanhee in the Ford Capri turbo who took over the lead with a fuel-only pitstop. On fresh tires Verdegaal charged to close the 14 seconds gap, but after gaining 10 seconds the finish flag fell too early.

Second place, poleposition and fastest race lap puts Verdegaal on par with Vanhee in the season standings. Next race: Norisring.

And here’s Ruud de Wit showing you all sides of the Mustang around Infineon:

After a false start in the last season team Simracing For Holland is back for Multileague 2011 Reloaded, hosted by Sim-Racing.org. This time the team chose to focus on the car and spend less money on the driver lineup.

Wilfred van den Brink and Dennis Douna bring the SFH Saleen S7R to the first race at Istanbul Park. From the start, SFH took the lead and continuously built upon that. Due to a different strategy team Torrent Motorsports seemed to be competing for the lead, even though they lacked pace. The long stints on hard tires eventually turned out to be slower than SFH’s shorter medium tire stints, and at the finish we had a two lap lead to show for that.

Next race at Estoril SFH will carry a 40 kg weight penalty. We’re looking forward to meeting the new competitors.

In the video both SFH pilots can be seen driving a grand prix at the dutch circuit of Zandvoort in the late sixties, earlier in their racing careers. It shows a very young Király furiously throwing the Brabham around the track and taking what must be one of his first victories.

However this race also marks the dramatic crash that forced Verdegaal to end his Grand Prix Legends career. Verdegaal, who had problems in the qualifying session, was making up places in a come back race. After a misunderstanding with a lapped pilot Verdegaal’s Brabham was launched off track to end up in the undergrowth some twenty meters beyond the armco of Tunnel Oost.

Comparing the new and old iRacing class B car around Road America. The standard iRacing fixed setup was used for both laps. Driven with G27. In the 09 car, that is the fastest way around, sliding and drifting, with lots of corrections. The new car, due to the new tire model has to be driven in a much more smooth way. You can see the difference here very well if you compare the steering input between cars.

A nice battle a few seasons ago in a VRL race at Brno.

The 12 hour event took place on the beautiful Le Mans circuit, where we were going to race into the night, starting at noon and finishing at midnight. During the event, we witnessed a beautiful sunset and a clear, starry night, but that did not distract us from our mission!

Qualification went especially well for the GT2 Porsche, with Robin taking the pole position by driving three consistent laps within one tenth of his personal track record: 4:00.7. During pre-qualify Martijn Bont in the ID3 Ferrari had set an even quicker lap but luckily for us, he could not repeat that time when it mattered most. In the mean time, Johan qualified the GT1 Corvette in third place, demonstrating a solid pace in a car that was handling very well. But the race still had to start..

The race started with the Corvette loosing a couple of places on the first lap, but Johan countered in the laps thereafter and managed to take over the lead. Not sure what the competition was doing, because it kind of surprised us to lead in GT1! Anyway, a couple of laps after his second pit-stop he was driving in the Porsche Curves when his rFactor smacked him to Desktop. Hitting the brakes couldn’t avoid a crash. Luckily, the car could continue, but with a flat tire. We went straight to the pits again for repairs and lost the lead with that. For the championship we did not need to win this race, because our direct opponents left the race. At that point we were still wondering what happened with Mickeal Taloc,  because GT Omega Racing had the lead in the GT1 championship and scored no points.

In the meantime, the Porsche started with boost 3 to get away from the pack. Martijn followed, and within two laps both cars were 5 seconds clear of the rest of the field. Back to boost 1. The main Porsche advantage is straight line speed. It’s no match for the Ferrari in both sector 1 and 3. With Martijn in our slipstream on the straights, but unable to pass in sector 1 and 3 an intricate race developed. ID3 passes once, but we could regain P1, and after that it seems that Martijn grew more and more impatient, starting to attack in atypical spots on track. Tense moments!

It turned out that our Porsche is a lap short on the Ferrari range and the pitstops start to run out of sequence. Being further away from each other on track it turns out that the straight line speed is almost enough to level the laptimes. We were unlucky in traffic and lost lots of time, Martijn had a spin and some other little problems, now losing so much time on the straights that they must have damaged their car. After three stints ID3 and Simracing.NL were still very much in touch, but way ahead of the rest of the GT2 class. We’re actually ahead of most of the GT1 class as well, with only Simracing Spain and the SFH Corvette in front.

Wilfred takes over and increases our lead. After another 3 long hours it’s Robin’s turn again and in pitch black darkness he loses a lot of time.

Without a way to change brightness on his monitor, driving with in-car view, with people in the room who need the light on, Robin was practically blind on track. Especially the braking point for the second chicane, but even more so the brake and turn-in point for Indianapolis was really just guessing. It’s unbelievable that he kept the car on track, not planting it  somewhere on top of a guardrail. Mad stuff!

Ben Crooks drives away half a minute of our lead. But running steady laptimes, making no mistakes, we’re still two minutes ahead when Wilfred takes over for the last part of the race. Wilfred makes no mistakes and wins this race and the GT2 championship, finishing 4th overall!

Meanwhile, in the Corvette Marcel took over after a little over 3 hours. With cars dropping out all around us, we kept second place in class and were slowly moving into the top 10 overall. Three tanks of fuel were burned, producing some of the most intense and beautiful sounds ever from a “small block” engine and giving the spectators goose bumps on every passage, and finally Johan took over again a little after the half way mark.

His last stints of 4 tanks went uneventful, apart from the fact that we passed the 75% mark. In fact, we did not want to do a driver swap before going over that mark, which was important because it meant not only a points finish but also sealed our first place in the championship! No time to celebrate yet as we really wanted to take the car home. Marcel took over for the last two tanks of fuel, still in second place. Before we saw the checkered flag, the first placed GT1 car stopped and dropped out of the event, meaning we finished first in class and second overall! The whole P2 field had actually failed to reach the finish and only one P1 car made it to the end. This has one additional complication as now our P1 car finished joint first in the championship with equal points and number of wins. The tie braker that the organization came up with is that the last race at Le Mans decides, so unfortunately we did not take the P1 championship.

That means we won the championship in two out of three classes!

A big thanks to everybody at RaceDepartment for making this happen. See you on track, next time we’ll be driving a chequered car again! And on to rFactor 2!

During the night though SFH GT2 was able to make the difference and lap the competition. An advantage that was controlled all the way up to the flag, 24 hours later.

The LMP1 team had a totally different race. In the opening laps Matthijs Ottenhoff somehow got a DQ from the game, which luckily could be cleared by the organisation. However that cost the team five laps that would cost them all race to take back.
The scheduled restarts made that extra hard, because it wasn’t possible to regain a full lap within the periods between the server restarts, after which the differences were annihilated. In true endurance spirit the LMP1 team continued to pick up places but never came back close to the podium again.

Presenting Simracing For Holland’s GT and LMP entry for the Sim-racing.de 24h of Le Mans.

Driven May 28th, this race will feature 24 hours of continuous online competition. Live coverage can be found at www.simrace.tv.

GT entry: #51 Porsche 997
Lineup:
Wilfred van den Brink
Wilfred is a smooth driver. He doesn’t need a rear wing. We don’t know what Wilfred looks like, really. For all we know he has green skin. Either Wilfred likes winning a lot, or he really hates losing. Anyway he’ll do everything he can to be prepared when he gets behind the wheel. Wilfred mainly drives rFactor.

Filip Verbert
Our man in Belgium. Filip fits the stereotype: he’s a happy bloke, he owns his own tavern and speaks Flemish fluently. Filip has come back to rFactor earlier this year but he doesn’t seem to have lost his pace. Filip mainly drives iRacing.

Robin Verdegaal
The team’s painter. Robin spends nights around cars with his black and white brushes. And it doesn’t stop there. Robin tends to paint the track with rear wheel rubber. Being the team nestor, Robin still packs a bit of punch. But will he last for another 24 hours? Robin mainly drives rFactor.

Ruud de Wit
A.K.A. Ruud ‘Kristensen’ de Wit. We lost count of how many virtual Le Mans 24 hour races Ruud has won. All we care about is that he’s on our side now. Ruud mainly drives iRacing.

LMP entry: #251 Audi R10
Lineup:
Johan Nieuwenhof
Known for torturing his G25 wheel while pushing his cars around the track at ridiculous slip angles. After successfully competing with the SFH Corvette in many endurance events, Johan is ready for the next challenge: the diesel powered Audi.

András Király
Young gun turned experienced pro. Aged 17, András started his first virtual Le Mans 24 hour race back in 2004 and has raced many since. Known for driving 3 hour stints of qualifying laps but always sees the chequered flag.

Matthijs Ottenhoff
Upcoming star in the dutch simracing community. Only been simracing for one year, Matthijs was picked up by SFH after winning the dutch simracing.nl touring car title and has shown his talent on many occasions since. Just one month ago, he drove the Simracing For Holland Audi R10 to victory lane at the Racedepartment 8 hours at Fuji.

After Road America, the SFH team skipped the Laguna Seca event in order to participate in the GrandAm premier series. The regular season then continued at Barber, where András Király won the high strength-of-field race, with Ruud coming in third. Daytona was next, a track very different from the previous venues. Luckily, Ruud countered this with a setup proven in the iRacing 2.4hours of Daytona event at the end of last season. With András Király on pole, things looked good until five laps before the finish. Guest driver Zach Rupcic rear-ended the chequered car and took the win, scoring 17 points more than Király.

While András still managed to come in second, precious points where lost in the chase for the championship. Although the SFH driver now had a small lead over O’Keefe in the standings, the iRacing best 8 out of 12 system allowed O’Keefe to exchange a bad result with a good one at Mid-Ohio.

Mid-Ohio deception
The scenario for the last race was pretty simple: three drivers still had a shot at the title: Matthijs Ottenhoff in third had to finish in front of both András and Kenneth. Kenneth had to finish in front of Matthijs and András. Both would need a substantial strength-of-field for good points. When this strength-of-field was high, the championship leader had to finish in front of Kenneth and Matthijs to defend his position.

Unfortunately, this exiting scenario for the season finale proved to be worthless as the regular high strength-of-field race was never driven. O’Keefe entered an earlier race in order to outscore Király who wasn’t in this race. Kind of an anti-climax. Matthijs Ottenhoff did enter but suffered from handling issues after hitting a guard rail. Elias Varis won the race and fourth in the championship while O’Keefe retook the championship lead. Since the regular high strength-of-field race did not saw enough entries, Király saw no chance do defend his title in a direct fight. Unfortunate, but the reality of the iRacing scoring system. In the end, the difference between champion and runner-up was 15 points on a 1500 total, making the 17 point Daytona incident even more unfortunate.

Round Up
Three cars in the top five, two cars in the top three, no championship. Winner Kenneth O’Keefe saw himself in the middle between András Király and Matthijs Ottenhoff on the podium. Still, with Ruud de Wit taking fifth overall, Simracing for Holland saw its efforts rewarded with the constructors trophy, if there should have been such a thing. Good thing is that the SFH Riley’s played prominent roles in every event of the 12 week season. With endurance competition coming to iRacing, a lineup featuring three GrandAM 2011 S1 top-five drivers is something to beware of! It’s time to say goodbye with some last screens of the SFH Riley and its drivers: see you on track!

Four SFH members saw the green flag at the Simracing.nl Michigan truck event. Three saw the chequered one. Race recap below.

After Andras Kiraly’s title in the 2011 Winter Trophy the following 2011 Spring Trophy started off with the 1979 F1 mod. After three races it’s SFH’s Robin Verdegaal who leads the standings. Although he had to forfait on the Salzburgring, victories on Spa-Francorchamps and Estoril gave him a small lead over Ricardo Michalewski.

Johan Nieuwenhof suffered serious technical difficulties and couldn’t get his Lotus lined up in time for the first race. Even in Austria and Portugal he struggled to match his own pace in previous seasons, scoring a 12th and 8th place. Nieuwenhof now shares a 10th place in the standings with Belgian rival Steven van Opstal.

Another Belgian driver, Filip Verbert, returning to the team after an overseas adventure, suffered similar problems in the Tyrrell. A consecutive 9th, 13th and 17th place finish leaves him in 14th place in the standings.

Wilfred van den Brink drives to first oval victory. After blasting everybody away in qualify, van den Brink drove a tactical race and attacked at the right time, leaving him and Marcel Visser in the leading lap in the final stages.

Taking advantage of his superior speed, van den Brink was able to take his first oval win.

Watkins Glen madness

The season opener in Watkins Glen mainly evolved around pole sitter Kenneth O’Keefe. After being passed by András on the start O’Keefe hit the rear of the SFH Riley eager to regain the top spot. With Dennis and Matthijs in pursuit, O’Keefe then damaged his car lapping the slower Mustangs. Due to this damage, Dennis managed to win the race in front of Matthijs while Ruud came in fourth. A similar scenario in the second race of the night, with András claiming the win after a close escape when leader O’Keefe crashed out, which can be seen in the clip above.

After the thrilling races at Watkins Glen, the action dried up considerably in the following events. Still with two SFH riley’s on the lower steps of the podium at Virginia, Spa and Watkins Glen Boot, the standings table started to look good. Homestead saw two SFH wins at different high-sof races, with Matthijs and András on the top step.

Indianapolis domination

Three SFH riley’s on the first three spots after qualifying: Ruud certainly had his setup sorted out for this one. Check out this picture of the race start: nice.

Although Ruud lost a spot during the race, it was a great day for Simracing For Holland. With Dennis coming in fifth, four SFH entries completed the top five with only rival O’Keefe in third. Matthijs and András got some good points with the first and second place trophies.

Road America: impossible is nothing
No, SFH does not have a new sneaker sponsor. Road America was the venue for a rather unique event: an actual overtaking. What? Yes. It may not seem much but this was actually the first one of a season defined by the lack of it, at least at the front of the field. Although the Riley is a blast to drive the race action has been slow, but not for that half a lap at Road America. After a good start from P3 András Király bravely outbraked leader Kenneth O’Keefe into the hairpin. Pure class. We actually have it on tape too.

Heading for the season showdown, Matthijs and András are second and third in the season standing, with one week less than leader O’Keefe, bus closely followed by Finland’s Elias Varis. Ruud looks for a jump up in the standings as he has only six of the eight weeks counted so far, unlike the people around him. Make sure to check back in for a report on the season finale and feel free to check out some of the season’s better lap replays at the SFH youtube channel.

This weekend the SFH team performed the shakedown tests for the new 2011 cars which were presented earlier this year on Zandvoort. The new material is fitted with updated parts and with these cars the team aims to make an impression on the competition in the new iRacing season.

Download here.

Seven years after the first chequered SFH car appeared on track in the dEEL 24H of Le Mans, we are proud to present the iRacing Chevrolet Corvette C6R. In 2004 the TransAm mod brought us the first non-NASCAR leagues, and the first endurance races soon followed.

It’s hard to believe that the sim that once stood above the competition took many years to make a comeback in its new incarnation: iRacing. SFH are proud to be competitive in iRacing’s Grand Am Sports Car Series. But we won’t forget that GT racing is where we come from. So here’s our tribute to Nascar Racing 2003 Season and its heirs.

The GT1 Corvette in the hands of Nieuwenhof and Offermans also had trouble to keep up with the pace of the front runners, but keeping out of trouble they pulled a strong victory. After three races the GT1 team now, too, leads in the class points tables.

Wilfred van den Brink had to leave the GT2 pole to Dragos Haba, who had an unfortunate spin five laps into the race. Van den Brink took over and took off to a large lead. Robin Verdegaal drove the Simracing.NL Porsche to the finish. Again, the team leads the class championship.

An eventful race, but with good team results. We’re looking forward to the next event!

SFH GT2 had a rough race at Road Atlanta. Starting from P5 on the grid the team had to come into the pits for a driverchange due to technical problems, throwing them back into last position. From then on their pace showed slow but steady improvement.

In the last stages the pace was good, but it was too little, too late to improve on their starting position.
More video after the break:
