The win came at Hungaroring during Round 5 of the RLTC championship, and saw Ondrej Majerech lead from start to finish during the final race of the evening.

Team ORD Start The VW Jetta Cup 2021 Season 2
There were highs and lows as Team ORD start the VW Jetta Cup 2021 Season 2 with the first race at Tsukuba 2000 on Monday. Having competed in the inaugural season earlier this year, we had some mixed results as Ryan Smith did brilliantly to take 4th overall in the drivers championship, Chris Smith ended in a creditable 11th, and I placed in a slightly disapointing 20th. As a … [Read more...]
2021 VW Jetta Cup Team ORD Official Unveiling
It's with great pleasure that I introduce the 2021 VW Jetta Cup Team ORD official unveiling. The original idea was that I'd try getting back into orgnaised league sim racing by running around the back of the field with a couple of logos on my paintjob. But that's grown a fair bit now. The first thing to mention is the amazing team livery created by Lee Walker, who … [Read more...]
Team ORD Enters The VW Jetta Cup
It's been a while since there's been any official Team ORD competitive sim racing. But having already shared my love of the VW Jetta and the Sim-Lab PCC series on iRacing, I couldn't resist signing up to the new VW Jetta Cup being organised by The Racing Line. It's a 12 week series for 30 drivers, with the schedule mirroring the PCC series. Taking place on Monday evenings … [Read more...]
Awards, Trophies and TV for ORD
The ORD team has had a few reasons to celebrate recently, and it's beyond time we shared them. First up, we entered the 2015 National UK Blog Awards a while ago. And ended up Highly Commended in the Automotive category. Which means we were reward with a badge we can proudly display. So that was a nice reward for the effort put into ORD, particularly from Andy on the video … [Read more...]
Team ORD: Virtual Motorsports Pirtek GT Cup
The Virtual Motorsports Pirtek GT Cup marked a new era for Team ORD. Not only had we recruited BigBen0913 as a full-time partner to join Badger Gravling following their VM Endurance outing, but we were even running a three-car team with the last-minute addition of CallMehDarkside who joined on loan from his regular team. Looking at the R3 class GT cars for the 8 week … [Read more...]
Team ORD: VM Rivals Round 8: Maple Valley Reverse
The final round of the Virtual Motorsport Rivals Series took place on Maple Valley, running the reverse short circuit for race 1 and the reverse long circuit for race 2. Going into the final round, I was still competing for a chance to be the top Audi driver in the series, despite the disaster at the penultimate Silverstone round when I got wiped out early on in both races. … [Read more...]
Team ORD Race Round-up: VM Rival Series Rd6: Sunset Peninsula
The sixth round of the Virtual Motorsport Rivals Series took place on Wednesday night at Sunset Peninsula, and I was under pressure to do well with the aim of remaining the top Audi TT driver in the series. Although the top 6 drivers in the EU series are all racing in the 2010 Nissan 370Z, there are 3 Audis in the top 10, separated by a handful of points. So my aim was simple … [Read more...]
ORD Racing Round-Up: Road Atlanta times two
Another week of racing to catch up on as both the Virtual Motorsports Classic and Rivals series visited Braselton, Georgia for competition at the Road Atlanta circuit. Owned by Panoz Motorsports, the 2.54 mile circuit is challenging, particularly when it comes to the initial climb and descent over a steep hill, with some tricky corners to make it even harder... VM Classics … [Read more...]

VM Rivals Series 1: Round 2 Hockenheim The Rivals series is slightly unusual for a racing … [Read more...]
ORD competes in the CRA & VM Indy 500
I've finally returned to competing in organised online racing, having had a bit of an enforced break due to work and family commitments. And what better way to ease myself back into things than going up against some of the best Forza Motorsport 4 racers in four 50 lap sessions around the famous Indianapolis 500 Brickyard? The CRA & VM Indy 500 was originally being … [Read more...]
