Welcome to the home of the vMax Sim Racing Team - dedicated motorsport and simulated-racing enthusiasts!
Engines fire once again as the vMaxSR banner takes on V8Thunder Online racing and FSB Online Racing League. After some absence and personal excursions, the team gather strenght preparing the workshop and its members for new goals. More to follow!
It is with great sadness that I bring the news that our beloved rFactor/GTR team-leader, Peo Forsberg, died on Sunday (9th August) as a result of injuries sustained in a traffic accident that occurred near the town of Glanshammar, Sweden.
Peo, who was due to celebrate his 43rd birthday next month, leaves behind his partner and children.
He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. On behalf of vMax, I extend condolences to Peo's family and friends.

The 2009 V8 Thunder Winter Series has been a challenge, not only did the team undergo structural changes to bring them back into shape but also the addition of new drivers. The previous week saw two drivers claim their first ever titles, namely Martin Buchan and Ben Parker. The two recruits from the beginning of the season have adapted themselves well to the new environment. Having shown their performance throughout the season and leading the standings for most of the races, Buchan lost the lead in Inters coming into the last and final round at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. That didn't stop him from winning the series as he went on to win the penultimate round of the championship and in doing so winning the overall standings. Parker didn't carry the same luck as he suffered an engine failure in the last round of the Truck series on the same track. He could instead rely on the fact he already had a significant gap to the chasing drivers winning the overall standings by a mere 60 pts. vMaxSR won the team standings in Trucks which was mostly down to the new competitive duo.

Following a season of varying results, vMaxSR are back with a vengeance. With fresh blood in the team, it has given new energy and spirit to the squad. Martin Buchan has claimed a streak of victories which puts him at the top of the standings in Inters, whilst Ben is currently leading Trucks having claimed one victory but instead shown his strength in the ability to stay consistent. With a few outings by Caspar Kahari complementing the "vMaxSR 1" team throughout the two main divisions, they are subsequently leading both of the teams standings as well.

vMaxSR can today announce the signing of the two top Stock Car drivers Martin Buchan and Ben Parker. The addition to the team comes as a big surprise to everyone involved as the pair are commonly known to have battled the Cardiff based team for several seasons, but are now joining forces instead. Initial reports claim that all parties are happy with the agreement made. It was a relieved division co-ordinator who could confirm the news, following a problematic season this is a significant improvement made to the squad. Whilst Ben will bring with him speed, youth and energy, Martin will act as a key player supporting the team with unlimited wool and cookies.
