Not that bad, ey..?!

DMSv whishes everyone a long relaxing summer in preparation for the fall season!

Simracing Team Challenge Blue Cup 2010- The fat lady sang at last! DMSv1 crowned champions, DMSv2 on the podium!

The long and difficult spring season in the Simracing Team Challenge is over and DMSv has come out on top. WAY on top! DMSv1 completed the last race under strict order to "Bring the cars home. No heroics" and that was exactly what they did!

The championship winning team: Roland Ehnström, Fredrik Tackman, Torbjörn Lindau, Ludde Andersson, Tony Gunnarsson, Roger Wennström & Ola Garmer

But it doesn't end there!

DMSv2 made a fantastic last couple of races surpassing TBR in the final standings to put the second team on the third step on the podium! This means that DMSv2 managed to beat 8 out of 9 "first ranked" teams in the most prestigious team championship in Europe. Fantastic!

The 3rd place team: John Westerlund, Peter Kull, Johan Pesula, Robin Johansson, Thomas Brevitz, Christian Waltgård, Peter Melin, Robert Öström

It remains to be seen if we will be back after the summer break to defend our crown as  possible changes to the format may make it impossible for us to participate. Time will tell...

Simracing Team Challenge Round9 - all four cars top8 with Roland as King of Spa!

Difficult conditions, rain and sun. Add Spa and there can only be one outcome. Roland Ehnström. For the 14th time in a row in GT cars. Torbjörn Lindau finished 5th in the second DMSv Ford only offering RPM a minuscule chance of stealing the championship trophy away at LeMans. But the champagne is still unpacked in the basement because it can still go sour.. remember last season anyone..?  Great results form DMSvII (Robin Johansson, 4th and Christian Waltgård, 8th) put DMSvII in striking distance of a total podium as well.

Simracing Team Challenge Round7 - Wow!

An administrative penalty against DMSv forced all four cars to start at the back of the grid following a ban on qualifying. The winner of the race was Dragos Haba of RPM but the stars where the DMSv lineup. Roland Ehström made his way to 2nd(!), Ludde Andersson 4tth(!), Johan Pesula 5th(!) and Peter Kull 8th(!). All this on a tight Canadian street circuit. This is nothing short of amazing!.

On another note it was really great to see that the server problems that has plagued this STC season finally solved. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it wasn't temporary when racing starts again on thursday.

RDTCC Round 5 - Barcelona

Ever raced the GP track in Barcelona? Well, its big. And long. And has a strange chicane near the end. Perhaps its not the best track to race the slow-ish WTCC-cars on but boy does it ever give close racing. In division 1 RPM took their second win when Rami Kaukula and Marcin Skrzypczak made it 1-3 for the team. But more importantly from our point of view was that in between the RPM twins was championship leader Roland Ehnström securing his fifth podium out of five races.  Also in division 1 Fredrik Tackman suffered in qualifying but drove a great race to finish titth while Rikard Javanainen finished 13 th. In divistion 2 Rickard Trange climbet thru the field from an 18th qualifying position to a final 10tj place. In division 3 John Westerlund finished 15th after early problems forced him to make an early pitstop for repairs and Robert Öström finished 18th. DMSv was represented in all divisions as Ludde Andersson had been relegated to division 4 from missing the last few races. Ludde in division 4? Well that could only yield one result.. Division victory by almost a minute..

Due to server failure round 6 of the STC had to be scrapped. The race has been scrapped from the calendar

RDTCC Round 4 - One-two overall after Donnington

Is it dry? Or wet? Or drying? Or raining? Track conditions were difficult when RDTCC visited England on Sunday night. Division 1 had a new winner for the first time this season when Roland Ehnström had to settle for the runner up spot when RPMs Marcin Skrzypczak took the checkered flag first. But it still was a good day for over all as Roland maintaind the championship lead and Fredrik Tackman with a good fifth place finished climbed to a shared second place in the overall standings. The Rickards, also in division1, Trange and Javanainen barely made it to the race but failed to register a qualifying time. They managed 21st and 15th respectively. Team Manager John Westerlund made his debut in touringcars joining the championship for the fourth round and placed his borrowed BMW on the podium with a 3rd in division4. Last man from DMSv to compete was Robert Öström who scored a 7th place in Division4.  Ludde Andersson was unavailable to race this round.

Simracing Team Challenge Round5 -Race cancelled

National Historic GT- Wennström on top !

Say "Mount Panorama" or "Bathurst" to a true racer and a chill raises along the spine. The long straits and terrifying corkscrews was the venue for last nights race in SSR Historic GT S8. DMSv driver Roger Wennström, in a Ferrari 250, best managed the difficult track to take his third win this season solidifying his lead in the championship.  Christian Waltgård, who always is happy when driving an Alfa Romeo selected the miniscule 1300 GTA Bertone coupe and finished the race in 13th, Christian is currently 12th in the championship.

Simracing Team Challenge Round5 - Ovalracin', heck no!

American flavored racing is next for the teams of STC Blue Cup 2010. Two turns and one strait of the classic oval is used together with some fiddely bits on the infield. A tricky chicane along the strait has been augmented with killer curbs so expect some cars to scratch the roof on that one.. This is probably not a great course for us especially for the speed-challenged Fords...

 

Keep your fingers crossed!

RDTCC Round 2- Roland, the king of Spa!

Spa in the rain? Well, in the in-team betting pool the odds on Roland Ehnström winning barely passed money-back. After 12 consecutive GT-car wins on Spa confidence was high in the DMSv camp going in to the second round of the 4th international touring car championship hosted by RaceDepartment. Roland managed to convert the pressure to a race winning pace. Brilliant!

Also in division 1 Fredrik Tackman finished 9th. Richard Trange and Ludde Andersson had been relegated to div2 and div3 respectively by missiong out on round 1. Trange finshed 18th while Ludde Andersson won division 3 advancing him to div2 for next round. Rickard Javanainen was off racing for real and missed this round.

Simracing Team Challenge Round4 - Japan was tough!

The fourth round of the STC was a difficult challenge since the track wasn't suited for the mammuth Fords of DMSv I. Qualifying and the race was dominated by the nimble midget cars of Black Visor Motorsports (Ultima) and the Marcos of RPM. Ludde Andersson and Fredrik Tackman did a stellar job maintaining our championship lead and continuing our podium streak by finishing 3rd and 8th respectively. In DMSv II team junior Robin Johansson drove a fantastic race that despite two stops gave him a 6th place finish. Less said about Team Manager Westerlunds race the better... Well at least the combined score of Johansson/Westerlund was enough to stay in fifth overall. .

Pole position. First to the checkered flag.
Roland Ehnström got a perfect start to the 4th international touring car championship hosted by RaceDepartment that took place sunday night.

Simracing Team Challenge Round3 - Another one for DMSv!

The third race is now in the books and DMSv once again had a great trace when Roland Ehnström once again brought the Ford home for a win! That makes it Rolands second race win in a row. Fantastic! Torbjörn Lindau got bumped early on losing momentum and positions but managed to battle his way back up the order to en the race in 6th. The boys in red extended the championship lead over RPM to 18 points. In the green camp spirits were a bil lower after the race as a network outage at one of swedens broad band suppliers, Bredband2, ment that not only were the regular race engineers ofline but also debutant driver Christian Waltgård was disconneted durin warmup. Johan Pesula in the lone BMW Z4 ended the race in 11th but that sent DMSvII from 3rd to 5th in the general classifications.

Simracing Team Challenge Round2 - Perfect score at Algarve!

The rookie Robin Johansson in the DMSv BMW Z4 started from 4th position and managed to outpace his teamie Peter Kull in the race. Peter had an incident in the beginning of the race. Qoute from Peter,

“As always for me it’s key to stay out of trouble in the beginning of an endurance race but unfortunately Johannes Norberg in the Ultima was of a different opinion and hit me from behind on lap 3 and that put me down to 18th position.”

Robin finished in 8th position in his first endurance race and the senior, in the “green” team, Peter finishing in 10th position.

SSR GTR2  Round 4 - Wennström on a roll!

Up-down-up-down-right-left. Add rain. Welcome to the fourth round of the SSR GTR2 endurance race at Bathurst. Put Roger Wennström behind the wheel of a Porsche and it summs up to Victory in division 1! Teammate Björn Elofsson took pole, his first for the season, and finished the race a strong sixth. Robert Öström suffered an early crash after qualifying in a strong 3rd in division 2 while Jonas Lindberg managed to wrestle his TVR thru the rain to a nice 4th place finish.  

International touring cars - RDTCC - End of qualifying

Sunday night marked the end of qualifying for Racedepartments fourth installment of a touring car championship. The 100 fastest touringcar drivers qualified to four divisions. DMSv will be represented by five drivers who all qualified in division 1. Fastest qualifier was DMS 2009 JTCC driver Rickard Javanainen ahead of his DMS 2009 JTCC teammate Richard Trange. They are followed closely behind by reigning V-WTCC champion Roland Ehnström, Ludde Andersson and Fredrik Tackman. The season till take off Aprill 11th.

Simracing Team Challenge Round1 - Questions! And answers?

With the first round of the STC in the bag a few questions have been answered and some more remains. On a good note the cars were competitive, everthing worked out on the technical side and overall the results were good. Ludde Andersson made his debut with a solid third after qualifying second. Torbjörn Lindau was delayed in the pits for non technical reasons closing out the top five. Nothing could be done about Vincent Staal who took defending champions DHR SimCrafts first win for the season. In the championship standing Roaring Pipes Maniacs, helped by bonus points for pole and fastest race lap by Dragos Haba, took the lead followed by the two DMSv teams.

In the BMWs Johan Pesula bettered his qualifying position by seven bringing the car home in 7th place. John Westerlund was hit from behind on the first lap having to rejoin the race dead last. Great work from the race engineers saved some of his day finishing in 11h.

So, whats unclear? Tires for one.. How will the different compounds last during different conditions? Telemetry is another. With the demise of some crucial software we need to strengthen our efforts in finding a working solution for drivers on W7-64. Not having live telemetry on the drivers forces the race engineers to guess and that is not a winning strategy in the long run.

Testing has already started in earnest at the undulated track at Algarve where race operations will commence on the 25th of march. See you all there!

Simracing Team Challenge Round1 - Who's who and what's what?

It's time for the STC Blue Cup 2010 to start at the desert track in Bahrain. Things are quite open as car selection for the season was in reverse championship order and no one is really sure what this will mean in the race. At least we can look forward to great battles and hopefully a close, fun championship.

DMSv will take to the track in the red-white-black Ford GT with Torbjörn Lindau and series rookie Ludde Andersson while DMSv II in the green-white-black BMW Z4 GT3'a will field John Westerlund and Johan Pesula.

 

Keep your fingers crossed!

The GTR2 drivers are currently on the third leg of "The Aussie Walkabout" with races at Hidden Walley, Oran Park and Bathurst. Australia has been good to DMSv so far with Roger Wennström winning the latest race at Oran Park. Roger Wennström is currently 2nd overall with teammate Björn Elofsson in 3rd. In division 2 Jonas Lindberg has made a comeback to simracing after scheduling conflicts robbed him om the last two seasons. And he has made the best of it. Three races, three podiums has put him first in the division. Robert Öström after missing one race is in 11th in the standings.

International Touring Cars (Race07)
For the first time DMSv has gotten really into touring cars with the upcoming season at Racedepartment. Qualifying has turned into a great fight between the DMS JTCC boys in Volvo C40 STCC and the DMSv endurance crew in the BMW E90s. As of this moment DMSv is 1st) Rickard Javanainen, Volvo 2nd) Roland Ehnström, BMW 3rd) Ludde Andersson, BMW 5th) Rikard Trange, Volvo 11th) Fredrick Tackman, BMW. Qualifying ends in about one week but so far so good!

Both front row qualifiers, Dragos Haba (RPM) and Fredrik Tackman (DMSv) as well as John westerlund (DMSv II) had been given wrong tires by GTRE forcing early extra pitstops. As the second DMSv driver Torbjörn Lindau suffered a cut track in qualifying the stage was open for DHR SimCraft.

Pole and victory for Wennström at Dubai!

The desert track in Dubai was host to the 7th round of Swedish Simracers GTR2 league .

DMSv was represented by Roger Wennström and Torbjörn Lindau in division1 and Micke Frilander and Robert Öström in division 2. 

Roger Wennström in a Ferrari 575 GTC managed the tripple. Pole, fastest race lap and race win! Torbjör Lindau suffered fuel starvation problems in the latter stages of the race ending his race just short of the finish line in 16th place. In division 2 Micke Frilander finished 6th with Robert Öström in 12th place.

 

Simracing Team Challenge Round8 - It's getting closer!

The DMS home track of Mantorp Park was not available for the8th round of the Simracing Team Challenge so the race was moved to the former F1 track at Anderstorp. The team had spent a lot of time at the track and spirits were high. Our testing showed early on that the Corvette was the car to beat but Roland Ehnström and Torbjörn Lindau still had the pace for top positions.

 

Roland qualified 2nd and was the quickest car on the track in the wet conditions but an attempt to pass the leading DHR Corvette cost dearly. Roland made a fantastic recovery to bring the car home in 2nd place behind the DHR Corvette of Vincent Staal. In fact all top six positions were filled with DHR and DMS cars with Torbjörn Lindau 5th and John Westerlund 6th. Peter Kull finshed 11th.

 

It's still close at the top of the podium and everything is still up for grabs!

The DMSv aces Roland Ehnström and Fredrik Tackman took two great podium finishes when the 7th round of the STC brought the series to Italy and the track at Mugello. The 1-3 finish combined with points for pole and fastest race lap extended our lead in the championship.

 

Johan Pesula had to fill in at the last minute when computer problems plagued the DMSv II Corvette of Thomas Brevitz who as a secret weapon had been consistently fastest of the green vettes during  all pre race preparations. Giving a stellar performance Johan gave the team a top 10 finish. John Westerlund suffered from miss communications with the pit crew who sent him out on rain tires after the pit stop as well as gearbox problems ending in a disappointing 20th place.

 

It's still close at the top of the podium and everything is still up for grabs!

Simracing Team Challenge Round6 - Back on top!

The 6th round of The STC took place at the ever spectacular Spa Francorshamps track in Belgium. DMSv star driver Roland Ehnström dominated the event in spectacular fashion. Pole position by 1.3 seconds, fastest race lap by more than one second and a win where no one even was close! In short the perfect race! The second DMSv BMW was driven by Tony Gunnarsson to a very solid 8th position taking back the championship lead from DHR GP who had it on loan for a week.

 

Johan Pesula and Peter Melin brought the DMSv II Corvettes home in 12th and 13th position respectively. Good to have all four cars crossing the finish line again!

 

With only 11 points separating the top three teams and four rounds to go we are looking forward to a great battle!

Simracing Team Challenge Round5!

The STC crews stayed in France for the 5th round of The Simracing Team Challenge. The race was held at Rouen Les Essarts in dry conditions. The venue proved itself to be an unfriendly place for the DMSv teams. Roland Ehnström qualified 2nd after the ultra quick DHR GP Corvette of Vincent Staal. We were robbed of a great race when a stray RPM BMW came across the grass and collected Roland with excessive aerodamage, and loss of top speed as a consequence. In the second DMSv BMW Björn Elofsson suffered from lagg fighting all the way to a 14th place across the finish line.

 

Things were not going any better for the green Corvettes of DMSv II. Björm Andersen gathered aero damage early on which sent him to the back finishing in 16th. Things where even worse for the second DMSv Corvette when Robert Öström suffered computer problems and disconnected just prior to the crucial 75% mark rendering his efforts null and void.

 

Unfortunately this is evident from the championship standings. But there is still half the season to go and we are not giving up! Not by a long shot!!

DMSv with Fredrik Tackman (2nd) and Björn Elofsson (6th) extended the championship lead while despite a 4th place finish from John Westerlund technical difficulties robbed DMSv II of important points dropping the green team to 5th in the championship standings.

DMSv on site when Trange gets 2nd in JTCC (and Fredrik Larsson wins PCC)!

DMSv and DMS got together today at Falkenberg raceway for a IRL meeting between the virtual and traditional racing teams.
It was very intresting to watch how the team works in real race conditions and we picked up a few pointers from Alx particularly
about driver development

In the JTCC event Richard Trange scored a career best 2nd place with the Seat Leon while Rickard Javanainen was the victim of a spinning car and ended the race on the first lap.

In Porsche Carrera Cup our fingers were crossed for Fredrik Larsson, brother of DMSv's Peter Larsson, who went on to take a dominant win!
