I had the pleasure of hanging out with F4H Motorsport for the 2 hours of Nordschleife this year and it was a fascinating weekend. They had a new recruit in the mists from Florida who went by the name Dion Drake so a lot of media attention and chatter in the pit lane was about this new talent. Jaguar had just jumped onboard for the weekend supplying the team with a RSR XKR GT while Ford continued to show their support to the team with their latest version of the Ford GT. The last time the Ford was in the hands of the team they finished 3rd in the N8 back in December. The surprise however was the introduction of Viper and Porsche. Veteran driver Gashi was chosen to test the new GTS-R. Viper are really trying to supply a machine to compete in this class but many critics doubt it is up to the pace or requirements needed in this collage of GT cars already established as the best machines and especially around the Nordschleife. There was no surprises in the names presented before this weekend with many big guns from the team coming forward as 'The Green Hell' is a place loved them. Not a feeling felt by quite a lot of people.

Of course many eyes this weekend were on Le Mans which happens on the 28th & 29th of June. Many drivers in the team are reaching for their peak performance to guarantee themselves a seat in the teams cars which got announced earlier this week. Jaguar are continuing their affiliation with F4H as are Acura who supplied the ARX-01a last year have now supplied them with the 'little brother' in the form of the ARX-01b. This week however was about Nordschleife. It's a grooling track that shows little mercy when a lapse of concentration occurs. The field this particular year was very strong with no less than 19 teams making the trip to Germany. The start of the week was hampered with weather and by the time Thursday came around the sun started to come out and warm up the track. This gave the team a chance to get out and test the cars. The Jaguar which had the English driver and chief tuner Bret Whippy in the mix supplied an early surprise in the field with the car impressing early on. A time of 7:22:022 was recorded in a practise session and that would soon work it's way down into the 19's by the time Saturday arrived. The Ford on the other hand brought it's own pressures and expectations. Talisman and fore runner Dario Bullet from California slipped the Ford into the 18's in Practise 2 while his telemetry showed a 17 or even a whopping 16 was on the cards. Both teams had great depth. American drivers Dan Palmer and Tyler Diablo jumped in the hot seat for the Jaguar. Both drivers showed exceptional pace in the days leading up to the qualifying session which showed us that F4H had seen something special in the Jaguar with one eye on Le Mans next month. Rumour had it that these drivers had already been guaranteed a seat in the Jaguar for Le Mans with the exception of Tyler Diablo who was under contract/endorsement with Acura from his time in LMS.

The Ford however seen an old partnership with 3 veteran drivers teaming up. Englishman Andrew Ascari was seated as driver 2 while Irishman Chris McGrath was driver 3. It wasn't the only Ford team with Jason Insanity driving a prototype build in the privateers with the Viper. The prototype Ford proved to have the legs on it's predecessor with Jason putting in laptimes all week that worked it's way down into the low 20's. I am sure this outting would be beneficial to both parties. The other Ford team had Nathan Rosso from England, the much anticipated Dion Drake and New Zealander Michael Warudo making up the other team. The last on the field was left to Porsche. With an emphasis on fire safety in Germany the team had decided to paint the car as a fire truck. Porsche was onboard with the campaign and a limited edition GT3-RSR was supplied with Englishman Ashley Ash, American Chris Gart and finally Darryl Hamilton who led the team to success at Le Mans last year.
After a busy qualifying session on the Saturday the team had much to be happy about but encountered it's fair share of competition and atrition. German native TPR Box would claim pole for Ferrari, Sergio Raoo1 of Spain in 2nd for BMW and Dario Bullet in the Ford was 3rd. The rest of the team blotted and dotted the top tiers.

The team was met with it's own share of bad luck come race day. Dario Bullet had suffered a gear box failure as the green flag dropped while Tyler Diablo had a nasty run in with the crest mid way through the race. With only two drivers in each team left for the contructors the news trickled into the remaining drivers but there was more to come. Bret Whippy had an outstanding race with Dion Drake but it was the American who pipped his team mate as the Jaguar was stuck in 5th for the remaining 15 minutes of the race. Gearbox failure again almost costing the team. Team firetruck lost a driver in Darryl Hamilton who's car burst into uncontrollable flames in the pits and the race was almost abondoned. They suffered a second loss when Chris Gart flipped his car on the 200 kilometre mark and he was lucky to walk away and gave the crowd a little wave when he walked back towards the pits.

(F4H Media shoot on Mad Tuesday. The teams contingent of old and new cars were on show for fans to sit in and take pictures)
F4H go into Le Mans with a strong showing at Nordschleife. With 2 teams claiming second and third in the constructors, Andrew Ascari finishing 7th in the Ford after an early scare which was backed up with Chris McGrath's 12th. Dion Drake became the second highest placed F4H member in 10th which was just in front of Bret Whippy in 11th. Dan Palmer ensured his team took a podium position and he was pushed all the way by Jason Insanity in the Ford. Both drivers finishing 22nd and 23rd respectively. Michael Warudo who had a massive crash in qualifying had a day of migling with the back of the pack and managed to work his way into 46th in a strong 118 man field while the Viper's new steering system is still something Gashi is trying to get to grips with as his Viper finished in 50th place. All finishing drivers found themselves in the top half and it's onto Le Mans for the biggest race of the year. After last years success there will be many eyes on the outfit as they look to lead the line again with success in LMP1 and bounce back from the mechanical failures which hampered them in GT. Ford proving that time around that it isn't invincible.

Hello all!
It has been an interesting few weeks for the F4H team, between finishing up events at Virtual Motorsports and preparing for upcoming races. The VM ALMS Series 1 has been a smash hit in terms of attendence and multi-class racing action. All the drivers are set to compete at the 8th and final round of the ALMS Series this Sunday, where they will be racing around Road America. As of writing, we have a solid hold on 2nd in the LMP Team's Championship with F4H Scuderia, and in the GT class, we are in the top 3 with both the F4H Batmobiles, driving the (terrifingly ugly) Panoz Abruzzi, and the F4H El Esperante team, driving the better-looking Panoz Esperante. The title fight between these teams, as well as the dbUK RedBull Mobile squad, is only separated by a few points. Once the series is completed and points are tallied, we'll be back to comment on the individual standings of our drivers. Hopefully, we'll be able to bring another Team's title back to F4H!

Here's a shot of F4H Diablo, leading two of the Tesco Value Audi's. Pesky diesels, they ruin all the fun...

In other series news, VM Stock Hatch Series 4 has finished up, and we have some exciting news to share! F4H has brought home the bacon yet again, capturing 1st and 2nd in the Team's Championship! An outstanding result, indeed! The boys really put it to the field, as there were several occasions where all six drivers qualified in Room 1, quite the achievement. Let's go over the results for the season.

The F4H Ride the Lightning team finished 1st overall, and the F4H Slackjaw (Kill 'Em All) squad finished right behind them in 2nd. Individually, it breaks down like this:
F4H Diablo- 2nd
F4H Krux- 4th
F4H Exiled- 5th
F4H Insanity- 6th
F4H FACEPALMER- 7th
F4H Gashi X- 8th, Top Rookie of Series 4
Lastly, VM Classics Series 5 is right around the corner, with Race 1 at Sebring International Raceway, beginning at 3 PM EST this Saturday, April 27. Cars span from a bootlegger's special in the 1940 Ford De Luxe Coupe, to the Trans-Am heroes of the Camaro and Mustang families, to the more "modern" Honda NSX-R and the Ford SVT Cobra R. With over 100 signups a week before the 1st race, this series is sure to provide intense racing action featuring drivers from all corners of the Forza universe. Be sure to keep track of the F4H drivers as they begin their quest to take another Team's title, along with some individual acclaim. I know we've been hard at work, testing and tuning a myriad of cars, and most are being wheeled into the paint booth at the moment. I'd talk about the cars and how they are driving, but, I'm on a super-top-secret order to withhold the specifics. It's only a few days until Race 1, and everything will be revealed then ;)
Here's the link to the Promotional video, to keep you entertained until Saturday

That is all I have for you at this time, I should have some more next week, pending the results of Classics and ALMS.
Thanks for Reading!

The goals are always the same: to win. No matter the competition, no matter the hardships, the goal is always, to win. We here at F4H have taken home the Team's Championship in each season of Virtual Motorsports SpecRacing, and we went into Series 4 hoping to maintain the streak. After 8 events, spanning two months time, taking place at a wide variety of tracks, I'm extremely pleased to report that the boys have done it again! The F4H ART Grand Prix team has won the Team's Championship after a thrilling race with the drivers at XPR at the Twin Ring Motegi circuit. I would like to congratulate all the drivers on a great season, and we'll see you again in Season 5, looking to defend our Team's Title.
The Spoils:
As noted, the F4H ART Grand Prix team took home 1st in the Team's Championship. Also participating in the Team's Championship was the F4H Red Bull Racing team. They took home 6th in the Team's Championship, though if all three drivers had been in full attendance at each event, they surely would have been in contention for the title as well.

F4H Bullet placed 2nd in the Driver's Championship, an outstanding effort. Also placing in the Top 10 overall were F4H Exiled, F4H Insanity, and F4H FACEPALMER, who finished up 6th, 7th, and 10th, respectively. Well done guys!
