With the iRacing 24 Hours of Le Mans just 3 weeks away, the Rev It Up Racing eSports Team took on the 6 Hours of Le Mans to prepare for the big race.

With an incredible 15 splits, Jeremiah Morton & Jack Godden took home victory in the 2nd split, heading up a great day in France!

 

Rev It Up Racing eSports Team A
Split: 2nd
Finish: 1st

Jeremiah Morton & Jack Godden paired up for the 6 Hour race, and hoped for a clean, solid preparation event. In the early stints, Morton took some risks with the tyres, going longer than some other teams, to build an early lead – a lead that would prove crucial.

Handing the car over to Godden for the back end of the race, Jack maintained the gap, while managing a tricky fuel situation. Eventually, he would hold on to take home P1 after 6 Hours of racing!

 

Rev It Up Racing eSports Team B
Split: 3rd
Finish: 7th

Cedric Finsac, Thomas Pendergrass & Jackson Freer teamed up in the 2nd car, just one split below the A Car. Finsac got the race off to a solid start, before handing the car over to Pendergrass to navigate the mid-section of the race. Freer took the wheel with 2:15 remaining, and the trio were looking good for a 5th or 6th place result, when major contact with an LMP1 car forced an unscheduled pit stop.

The car was quickly repaired however, and Freer was able to get back to P7.

 

 

Rev It Up Racing eSports Team C
Split: 8th
Finish: 6th

The all-Australian pairing of Keegan Sutton-Baker & Sean Grimmond entered the final car for the team. A relatively clean & smooth race saw them well inside the Top 10 as the laps wore down.

After double stinting all race long, the pair would come home to claim a P6 result.

 

With 3 weeks now to take all this data and prepare for the 24 Hour, all the drivers have added confidence from a great warm up event.
