Last Week in SRF

Nearly 600 sim racers took the green flag in SpecRacer Ford at The Glen.

The Spec Racer Ford Challenge kicked-off the season at Watkins Glen International, with nearly 600 sim racers participating in the first week of racing. Competitors for the championship were looking to get off to a good start and work towards dethroning last season’s champion Felipe Farinelli. Kevin Vaughn led the charge with a 194 point effort in the week’s highest SOF race. Ricardo P Silva had great success overall at the Glen scoring 7 victories in 8 races. There was lots of clean and close sim racing to be had, most notably with George Vasmoulakis’ victory over Leif Henriksen by a margin of .05 seconds and the top four all within six tenths of a second.
