On 20th and 21st April, 268 sim racers across 55 teams revved up their engines to compete in VCO INFINITY III, igniting a thrilling showdown for the prestigious title and total prize pool of 5,000 USD across 24 exhilarating races in just as many hours on iRacing.
Picture this: a dynamic mix of five different cars tearing up five different racetracks, ensuring plenty of nail-biting variety.
The format delivered non-stop thrills with one 45-minute race per hour.
As the clock struck 19:00 CET, the first race roared to life at Daytona, marking the beginning of this 24h endurance sprint. The winners of the two previous editions of VCO INFINITY, Team Redline, wasted no time flexing their muscles, dominating the early races and splitting the wins between their entries. But they weren’t alone in the fast lane. Apex Racing Team and Grid and Go Esports put up a fierce fight, each snatching three race victories. Yet, nothing could put the brakes on Team Redline’s charge to their third victory.
It became less a question of if Team Redline would win and more of which of their entries would claim the crown. As the sun set on Sunday evening, the scoreboard told a tale of domination: Team Redline had clinched more than half of the 24 races across both entries, a staggering thirteen wins in total!
In a spectacular finale, it was a double podium celebration for Team Redline, with #70 – with drivers Gustavo Ariel, Ole Steinbraten, Alexey Nesov, Sam Kuitert, and Cooper Webster – finishing in P1, closely followed by #69 in P2. #91 Coanda Esports put up a valiant effort, clinching P3 with a 32-point gap to second place.
After their stellar performance, Ariel summed it up perfectly:
“It’s been amazing because we maximized the results for both cars, so that’s very nice.”
