Hear the voice of reason – David Rolleston
Today we sat down with David Rolleston, who is a very active member of the community, often the helpful voice of reason and a great contributor to the general banter.
Interlagos again? Season-Finale again!
This Friday the fbl-community takes the Radical SR8 out of the garage for the last race of the 2022 Sprint Championship. Here’s what’s at stake.
Meet Denis Kiriakopoulos, the early FBL 2022 Championship Leader!
Few races into the new FBL season, and we have a firm championship leader in both series. So naturally, we asked Denis if he would be happy to tell us a bit more about himself.
We’ve reached Mid-Season in the Radical Sprint Championship!
With two drop-weeks the Standings in the RSC only tell half the story. After five races, it’s time to try and gain some insights!
Colin Wynn and Getting Everything Together
In the end it was a more than deserved P4 in the Championship, with one win in the season. But Colin could have won more and even come out on top in the end. We talked with him about his last season, and his journey into simracing.
If only he had been on track …
Nathan Brumby missed the chance for the drivers-title when taking a flight instead of getting on track for the season-finale. He’s still a FBL-Champion, but now former has to be added.
The new Champion of the FBL
Last time we talked to Nihad Gluscic, he had just won his first race in the fbl-championships. Now he has taken the crown of the WTEC 2021 by 1 point in a highly dramatic season finale in Interlagos. Of course we know you want to hear more of him.
Knock-knock! Who’s there? Pace!
Daniele Cascardo has been the benchmark for pace in the last fbl season. But the title was denied to him in a heartbreaking way again. It’s clear we needed to talk!
What a Season by M*rlboro!
Nihad Gluscic and Daniele Cascard took the Team-Championship in the penultimate race of the season. And they were racing each other for the drivers-title in the season finale at Interlagos. Is there anyone able to stop them?
Gluscic took the championship by one point!
It was the Season Finale at Interlagos. It was the first Broadcast of the FBL in collaboration with James Parfitt. ReWatch Alfons Ruiz win at Interlagos and the dramatic battle for the Championship until the final lap!
First Practice at Suzuka
With a 1:53.877 Alfonso Ruiz set the fastest lap of FP1. Together with Iwan Bremer the two Martinis put Nihad Gluscic under pressure.
No room for errors anymore.
Eyebrows were raised when Kapeller crossed the finish-line in P2 at Brands Hatch, just seconds ahead of Gulf teammate and Championship contender Brumby. Will Gulf follow Marlboro to team-orders for the last three races, and what will Marlboro do? A preview towards the season finale.
Bebb wins at Brands Hatch!
As he missed qualifying, Charlie had to fight his way to victory from the back. Gulf in championship-mode again, with Kapeller on P2 and Brumby on P3. Simkens shines bright, but gambles away a podium with his strategy. Marlboro to pieces and Wynn adds a chapter to his pit stop story.
Get ready for Brands Hatch tonight!
Round 7 of the WTEC 2021 will take place this Sunday – and a lot is at stake when the stage will be set for the final races. FP1 already showed raw pace and some surprises.
Charlie Bebb, the Daytona 24 and the FBL
While everyone in the fbl-community was preparing for the heat of Monza, Bebb went to win the Daytona 24 with his team UK SimRacing Silver. That raised some questions – how did they manage to do that, and what else do we need to know about him?
Colin’s Perspective in the Heat of Monza
Colin Wynn had a hell of a race again. Watch some of the best wheel to wheel racing in the battle for P1 between him, Brumby, Gluscic and Bremer … until Colin rage quitted after 66 Minutes as his pit crew destroyed all his chances for the win again!
Nihad raced to victory in the heat of Monza!
Gluscic becomes the first to win two races in the current season. Brumby second again. Cascardo got misled by his spotter, while Wynn was let down by his pit crew again.
Nihad Gluscic – One Hand on the Crown?
Half the season is behind us, and Gluscic is in the lead of the championship. Starting the season with the aspiration to win the Team-Championship by earning the crucial points needed for his Team, the Bosnian might have to rearrange his goals. Hence, we were desperate to get some insights.
Straight out of (Green) Hell
Renders raced to victory at the Nordschleife, Gluscic to the lead in the championship, Brumby back to Brands Hatch 2021 and Ruiz to shatter his and Bebb’s chance for the win.
Colin’s Perspective through the Nordschleife
Starting P2 on the grid with a fabulous 6:26.796 and crossing the finish line just 0.182 seconds behind P3 after 90 minutes of racing at the Nordschleife. Take a look at last sunday’s race from Colin’s perspective and figure out where he might have put in a little ton of fuel too much.
Renders wins in the Green Hell!
With a lead of 1.2 seconds after 90 minutes, Renders gives the championship the 5th winner in the 5th race. Brumby beaten in the final laps. Gluscic takes the lead in the championship with a P3 just 0.15 seconds ahead of Wynn. After 65 minutes the dream of victory came to an end for Ruiz and Bebb when they collide in battle.
FBL-Community wakes up from hibernation!
The Green Hell hosted the first session of the WTEC in 2022. FP1 showed that Charlie Bebb is fast as ever, and reigning champion Nathan Brumby is back in business.
Thomas Renders and Racing Team Den Kaap
There are teams within the FBL, and then there are TEAMS within FBL. Racing Team Den Kaap brings two of them to the grid in the WTEC 2021. So we took a moment to sit down and talk with Thomas Renders.
