Team Shark drivers Simon Gymer, David Gymer, Pete Allnutt, Martin Buchan, John Bayes, Brian Kerr, Morten Straus and Fred Joseph have all entered the new iRacing motorsport arena. This new massively multiplayer online racing game builds on the acclaimed Grand Prix Legends and Nascar Racing 2003 game engine and has been hailed as the potential new king of online racing game driving models.
Team Shark drivers are competing in all categories in Oval and Road racing with drivers already at Class D and C levels.
Although the game does not support any team oriented features, Team Shark continues to discuss, share and participate in iRacing as a team in everything but official recognition.
Following tonight's F1 race at Jiading, Team Shark will be retiring from Race2Play.
For five seasons and 20 months the team has thoroughly enjoyed it's time at Race2Play, but with dwindling driver numbers and a desire from those remaining to run regularly, the decision has been made to withdraw from Race2Play as a team. A massive thank you goes out to all those drivers who have made Team Shark at Race2Play what it was, presently the 9th placed team in career rankings.
Some of the drivers will be continuing on at Race2Play in newly formed teams, but rather than watch Team Shark drift away it was felt better to go out on a high and with an exceptional record.
Shortly the complete and up to date trophies will be added to the vault, I am sure for everyone it has been an honour to represent the team there.
Due to the increasing costs of running a team at SimRacing.org.uk and the difficulty obtaining sponsorship to fund both teams team owner, Simon Gymer, has decided to close down Team Shark Junior operations with immediate effect and contract back all Junior drivers to the single Team Shark team. The engineering team who have been stretched very hard during the period of two teams have welcomed the amalgamation back to one team. This closure will help the team both on and off the track to produce the cars and strategies the team needs to compete with the ever increasing presence of other teams like Kerb Crawlers, Team Pseudo Racing and Legends Racing.
Team Shark Junior completed their four season stay at SRou by winning one and coming 2nd in another of the team championships in the four GTR 2 series of Season 7. Congratulations to the Junior team (Joss 'FreQ' Piggott, Brian Kerr, Jon M, Martin Buchan, Michael 'Aagramn' Bennett, Morten Strauss, Carl 'Zacari' Parker, and Colin Hines) for their success this season and the whole factory looks forward to the combined efforts from the drivers in the forthcoming Season 8.
