VRS Coanda Simsport Takes iRacing 12 Hours of Sebring

Continuing its dominance of iRacing special events, VRS Coanda Simsport backed up its top split victory in January’s 24 Hours of Daytona with another victory in the 12 Hours of Sebring on Saturday. This time, it was 24 Hours of Daytona winner Joshua Rogers teaming up with Mack Bakkum to lead 260 of 377 laps in the premier event to score a decisive victory over the Apex Racing Team trio of Peter Berryman, Kevin Ellis Jr., and Zac Campbell.

The pole-winning Coanda duo of Mitchell deJong and Jeremy Bouteloup completed the podium, scoring the final lead-lap finishing position after leading the first 81 laps of the race and 94 overall. Coanda and Apex entries completed the top five, and no other teams finished within two laps of the overall win.

In GTE, a thrilling battle between Red Bull Racing Esports and Team Redline ended in favor of the former, with Sebastian Job pressuring Maximilian Benecke and making the decisive pass with less than an hour remaining to take the class win in the #2 BMW M8 GTE. However, it was Porsche that dominated the top 10 spots in class, as its 911 RSRs took seven of the top 10 spots in class compared to three for BMW.

Vendaval Simracing had a strong showing in both GT classes, completing the GTE podium but winning the GT3 class with the duo of Max Esterson and Hayden Berns. Black Star Racing and CoRe SimRacing completed the podium as Audis swept the top 10 GT3 finishing positions.

A total of 31 splits were contested over the weekend, with four in the early event and a whopping 27 running throughout the day Saturday to combine for well over 1,500 team entries.

Following the 2020 iRacing 12 Hours of Sebring, sports car special events resume on iRacing on Sunday with the IMSA 90 Minutes of Sebring. Modeled after the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge and featuring the Audi RS 3 LMS TCR and all-new Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport, the 90 Minutes of Sebring allows iRacers to tackle the iconic Florida track with a solo sports car event. The next iRacing endurance event will be the 24 Hours Nurburgring on April 25-26, as GT3, GT4, and TCR vehicles will go around the clock twice on the Gesamtstrecke 24H layout, which combines the iconic Nordschleife with the track’s current Grand Prix layout.
