Two podiums in as many races for Team Vires
29th March 2012

The first came in the exciting new series from Genuine Racing at South City Long Reversed with the GT1 cars, where Sean Williams scored a 3rd place on his return to GT1 racing after a long period without driving the cars. Sean drove a brilliant race, chasing Dennis Lind across the line and fighting well with Evo Racing drivers at the start.

The second came after a long battle at Westhill International Reversed in the GT3 Touring Car Cup where Pierre Peron and James Peace finished second after 3 hours despite a huge lag hit whilst fighting for the lead which turned the 05 Vires car around and into the wall at 225kph close to the two hour mark. Having started from Pole, Peron saw off the intentions of those around him to remain in the lead for most of the hour before a series of mistakes demoted him to 6th. Peace then took over the car and made good progress and within an hour was right on the tail of the leading CoRe Racing XRR, but was to suffer the lag hit which plummeted the car down to 12th. A mission to get back to the top 5 for points sake was then embarked upon by Peace who moved up to 4th before 3rd and 2nd placed Savage SimSports and SpdoRacing collided just half a car length in front of him and opened the door for 2nd place. The good haul of points keeps the 05 car in the hunt for the championship. Tamás 'skyline_TOmy' Csáki made his Team Vires debut in the number 21 car along with Team Rock Racing rookie Joakim Rognlien which, due to the severe misfortunes of the number 16 cars drivers Przemek Wdowiarz and Jere Heiskanen, finished a high 14th place, beating the 16 car.

Team Vires move into Easter focusing on the next round of the GT3 Touring Car Cup, the long awaited start of the GT2 World Series and a continuing participation in Genuine Racing's GT1 Championship, and wishing everyone a happy Easter!
