Team FRITOSPORT 2016

Today we take a moment to announce the leagues we plan to stick to for the remainder of 2016 and also to announce the very talented drivers joining us on this journey.

​iRacing - Absolute Beginner's League - Broadcast on GSRC
​                 In the ABL, I run as an independent in the Formula Neagle Cup and The Tony
​                 Hayes Cup.  The cars used were the Skip Barber F2000 open wheeler and the
​                 Kia Optima Touring Car.  Next season brings the Skip Barber but Tony Hayes
​                 will see a return to multi-class format utilizing the Global MX-5 Cup car and RUF
                 Type C I believe. 
*** As season 8 in the ABL comes closer, we've decided to run as a two car 
     team in the Formula Neagle Cup (skip barber f2000).  This means our 
     Endurance team mate from Australia will be joining TEAM FRITOSPORT
     as we not only race for the drivers cup but now also eligible for team 
     points!

iRacing - Endurance TEAM FRITOSPORT
​                 At the start of 2016 we entered the 24hrs of Daytona in the GT3 category.  Our
​                 teammate, Scott Butler was instrumental in getting me up to speed and really
​                 was a big part of our P5 in class and P10 overall result.  Scott and I traded stints
​                 and overcame some mechanical problems to secure those positions.  Next year
​                 we are looking forward to running an LMP chassis or Daytona Prototype in more
​                 endurance events.
​                 

​RaceRoom Racing Experience - Touring PRO Series - 2015 WTCC TC One - TPS Broadcast
                 This year will prove to be a very exciting one for the TPS 2016 championship
​                  using the 2015 WTCC carset in R3E.  The season is shaping up to be a good one
​                  as new bigger grids have been introduced to R3E and so have new setup
​                  changes.  We are also very proud to announce a 4 car squad/effort for 2016!
​                  Team FRITOSPORT - Global Sim Racing Team drivers for TC ONE:
​                  - Darren Boulton - United Kingdom
                  - Joonas Torsonnen - Finland
​                  - Giannis Christodoulou - Greece

​2015 WTCC piloted by Gabriele Tarquini Honda Civic TC One is the car we will be using​.

DiRT Rally - 2016 Virtual Rally Championship - Team Fritosport on-board/tv replay
​                 This year we've also joined our very first leagues in the sport of Rally!!!  We
​                  truly love this discipline and is one we have been waiting for.  Our TC One WTCC
​                  teammate, Joonas Torsonnen has also joined us in the F2 Kit Car class to take on
​                  some of the best drivers in the VRC.  With rallies averaging 13 grueling stages be
​                  ready for a lot of DNF's and broken dreams.  We're looking forward to the
                  challenge that lies ahead!
​

Project CARS - Future LMP programme - setup engineer/development driver
​                 Another announcement we would like to make today is the arrival of Marcio
                 Novaes.  He is a very fast driver like the others who've joined us this year.  Marcio
​                 has an extensive background in car setup and very high placing leaderboard
​                 positions.  His ability to tune the setups will be crucial for our campaign.  We look
​                 forward to working together in PCARS and prototype league entry in the future.

                 - Marcio Novaes
                 - Edgar Sanchinelli

VRC - PRO - 2016 VRC Pro Official Championship - Fritosport YouTube/Twitch streams
​                For the 2016 season, we see ourselves joining forces with Aaron "Slithering
​                Snake" Bronson in Team FRITOSPORT/TEAM RED.  We have chosen to run as
​                a team in the 1/10th scale Short Course Off-Road SPEC and MOD trucks.  I will
​                also run in events in touring car/buggy/etc... as an independent for TEAM
​                FRITOSPORT. 
​

As you can see we have taken on quite a bit this season.  We look forward to the challenge while we know we won't be able to be at every round due to moving houses.  Finding time while this and other changes are going on is proving to be tough but I want to thank all of the drivers and friends/engineers helping us out.  Plus there's also a possiblity of appearances with the BSR KIA WORLD SERIES.  Thank you for your time.  Keep an eye here for more updates and announcements over the season.
