High Stakes and Fierce Battles: Radical SimRacing Championships Intensify

As the Radical SimRacing Championships roar into Round 10 of 12, the tension is palpable across all four divisions – Europe Pro, Europe Am, Americas Pro, and Americas Am. With only three rounds remaining, the battle for P1 and the scramble to secure a spot in the World Finals is getting real. Here’s a breakdown of the current standings and what to expect as the competition heats up.

Europe Pro: A Three-Way Showdown for the Title

The European Pro Championship is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling contests in recent memory. James Barry (Insert Name eRacing Team), Andreas Friedrich (Insert Name eRacing Team), and Christoph Lipp (Lipp Train) are locked in a fierce battle for the top spot, with Barry and Friedrich tied at 206 points and Lipp just behind with 192. Every move in Round 10 could be decisive as these drivers push their limits to claim the championship.

Beyond the fight for P1, the battle to secure one of the Top 13 spots – and with it, a ticket to the World Finals – is equally intense. John McHutchison (P10, Team Radline) and Myron Ianny (P11, Inser Logo eRacing Team) appear relatively safe for now, but Alexander Skaret (P12, IGL Coatings by Sande Trafikkskole) and Sauli Raittinen (P13, Free Agent) are under pressure from Carter Lundy (P14, Privateer) and Sebastian Lipp (P15, Lipp Train), who could break into the qualifying positions. A single mistake could cost them dearly.

Europe Am: Lock Eyes Title, P2 Battle Rages On

In the European Am Championship, Adam Lock (Project 91) has been the standout performer, leading with 189 points and looking strong to clinch the title. His consistent driving has given him a solid cushion over his rivals. However, the fight for second place remains wide open, with Gabriel Berger (P2, Free Agent), Dorian Lelievre (P3, Privateer), and Tom Euler (P4, GTunit) separated by just 13 points. As they fight for the runner-up spot, every point will count.

The battle for the Top 10 is more settled. Stefan Melis (110, Privateer), Craig Gregory (106, Team Moop), and Ole Gunnar Stensrud (104, SloWmo-Veekro) currently hold the final qualifying spots. Edgaras Skardinskas, with 79 points, will need a remarkable performance in the remaining rounds to break into the Top 10 and keep his World Finals hopes alive.

Americas Pro: Vieira Leads, But the Battle is Far From Over

Lucas Vieira (Team SR8) is holding onto a slim 9-point lead over Ryan Oddo (Team ERC) in the Americas Pro Championship. With Franco Sánchez (Virtual Racing Peru) not far behind, the title race remains open. Vieira and Oddo can’t afford to slip up, as Sánchez is ready to pounce on any opportunity to get back into the fight for P1.

Meanwhile, the race to secure a place in the Top 10 and qualify for the World Finals is heating up. David Unger (75, Team ERC) looks safe, but Bruno Abrantes (53, Free Agnet), Mark Harris (57, Race Sim Canada) is under serious threat from Timothy Salvatore (45, Race Sim Canada) who is close behind on P11.

Americas Am: Voelkel Dominates, But the Midfield Battle Intensifies

Andy Voelkel of Voelkel Motorsports is cruising at the top of the Americas Am Championship with 193 points. While his position seems secure, the fight for second place is fiercely contested. Joel Jacklin (157), Cedric Ohayon (154, Lima Racing), Charles Krasic (148), and Adrian Fernandez (145, ADRA eSports) are all within striking distance of the runner-up spot, making for an exciting battle as the season progresses.

The competition for the final qualifying positions is also intense. Mayer Deonarine (59 PTS) currently holds the 10th spot but is just a few points ahead of Manuel Solorzano (52 PTS) and Chris Hidy (51 PTS). Meanwhile, Tyler Vickery (76 PTS ) and especially JR Gregory (63 PTS) must stay on their game to avoid being overtaken in the final rounds.

With only three rounds remaining, every race, every point, and every decision could make or break a driver’s season. The stakes have never been higher, and the drivers are ready to give it their all. Round 10 promises to be a spectacle as the battle for the championships and World Finals qualification reaches its serious phase.
