The team had a great second race in the RD Camaro Cup Championship. The race was held at the fast Old Ring Park and the drivers were somewhat sceptic about their chances this time but they proved everyone wrong.

Andreas Löffler put his Camaro on the pole for a second time in a row but this time he also managed to take home the win despite having a close battle with RPM’s Cristopher Aponte in the first half of the race. Gregory Degreef continued his great pace and finished 2nd after starting 4th, making it a one-two for the Rebels!

Andreas Hultgren had a much better race then he expected and finished in a fine 6th while David García in the last Rebel Camaro finished 13th.

Results

Round one of the RDCCC was held this week and it was a good race for the Rebels.

Gregory Degreef finished highest of the teams drivers with a fine 2nd behind the winner Ben Tusting of Black Visor Motorsport. Degreef lost his splitter early on and was after that never in contention to fight for the win. Andreas Löffler started from pole but he suffered a drive through during the race and also had to pit an extra time. This lead him to finish in 9th. Andreas Hultgren were the 3rd and last Rebel in the race and after qualifying way down the order he eventually finished 13th.

Spaniard Edgar Herrero has joined the team. The youngster started simracing in 2006 and will be a boost for the team. To read more about him go to his driver page.

TBR has grown a bit more the last few days as three new drivers will drive for the team in 2010.

Jaime Blewitt, a 26 years old englishman, joins the team with an impressive reumse. Also Kevin Ledoux, 24, joins. The frenchman has recently been driving for FlatOut racing inthe Simracing Team Challenge. The latest addition is Dariusz Swiderski.

The team welcomes all of them and is hoping for an even stronger 2010.

The last race of the STC season was held last Thursday and the team had a really good run going with Wietse Visser and Ivo Simons behind the wheels of the teams Ferraris.

But as usual this season the results were not on the teams side as Visser, who was fighting for a top 8 finish, had big contact with the wall and later caught fire and couldn’t finish the race. Simons managed to bring his car over the line in 13th. DHR SimCraft took a 1-2 and took the championship for the second time in a row.

Overall the season has been a disapointment with results outside the top 10 on more occations then the team had hoped for. Next season can only go better.

Final standings

The team had despite some problems a great weekend in the RDSTL as the series headed to Istanbul.

Gregory Degreef had the best day of them all as he finished in an amazing 2nd but it was a close call as he only had .2 litres of fuel left. His teammate Mehmet Arslan came hom in a fine position too as he finished 7th. Andreas Löffler was the only driver of the day in the TBR1 team as Mikael Hellén had PC trouble. Löffler made it home in a fin 5th.

In the second division things looked worse though as Clive Siggs were the only Rebel there but he had to park his car after only 5 laps.

The top results keeps staying away from the team in the Simracing Team Challege. Depsite the hard charging Mikael Hellén and Wietse Visser the team once again finished outside the top 10.

Both drivers made mistakes in the qulifying and started all the way back in 18th and 19th. With 25 drivers out of 26 starters finishing the race neither could fall back on others dropping out which made it alot harder. The team is now looking forward to the next race number eight of the season at Anderstrop in just under two weeks time.

The team and STC headed to Spa-Francorchamps for the 6th round of the Black Cup. But the results were no where near what the team had hoped for.

Andreas Löffler qualifyed in a good 9th and was set to bring home a really nice result at the famous track. But a few laps into the race all the positive thoughts went away as Löffer had a pretty big off at Eau Rouge. He had to visit the pits way too early and his strategy went from one to two stops. A strategy that ruined his chances for a good result and he finished as last runnning car in 18th.

His teammate for the day, Andreas Hultgren, had a pretty rough day aswell and had a poor qualifying and had to start down in 18th. After a couple of wild first laps where he first gained some places but then lost some he finally fought his ill-handeling Ferrari to 15th at the end.

The only thing to be happy about for the team is that both cars scored points but hopes about finishing on the top half of the standings are pretty much gone.

The team had some great results in RD’s Super Touring League as they headed to Estoril and the 4th round.

Division 1:
Both Andreas Löffler and Mikael Hellén had a great day in the top division as they came over the line in 3rd and 6th. Hellén had a pretty straight forward race while Löffler had more to think about as he was fighting hard for the podium spot. Mehmet Arslan and Ivo Simons raced the other two Beemers in the top group and their results were mixed. Arslan made a mistake in the pits that ended his race. Simons had his first outing in the car and he finished 11th after having some engine issues which resulted in him having to take it a bit easy near the end.

Division 2:
Of course there were Division 2 action aswell and David García had a good race as he took advantage of his pit strategy. He finished in a fine 5th. Clive Siggs made his racing return with the team as he substituted for Xosé Estrada. Siggs made a mess of the superpole but raced a steady race and brought his SEAT home in 8th.

It all looked so good but got turned around quickly as the team looked to conintue it’s success from the previous round at Le Mans. The Simracing Team Challenge headed to Rouen Les-Essarts for the fith round of the Black Cup and Gregory Degreef and Mehmet Arlsan were behind the teams Ferraris.

Degreef qualifyed in a fine 7th and soon found him self in 4th after some accidents infront of him. He stayed in 4th the first 35 minutes untill he made a mistake that made him lose his front splitter. At the time it didn’t look as though he’d lose much time as he was inside the pit window. He pitted the same lap but from here everything went wrong. The car did not get fixed which resulted in another pitstop the lap after. Then while lapping a car there were some misunderstandings while the lapped car was going into the pits. Degreef hit the car as he was making his passing move and unfortunatly the hit was too severe to be able to continue the race.

Arslan had a tough race aswell. He started down in 16th and it was far from a Sunday drive for him. After getting a puncture he was going into the pits but came in a bit to fast and hit the pitwall. He was then partly stationary on the track and got hit by one of the other drivers. Despite all his problems, driving most part of the race without a front splitter, he still manage to finish the race and he did so in 13th.
