Hinwil, 6 August 2024 – KICK F1 Sim Racing Team will continue racing with Thomas Ronhaar and Brendon Leigh in the 2024-25 Sim Racing season, as preparations continue for the new campaign and our drivers compete in the PSGL Championship – the sim racing competition effectively acting as an unofficial pre-season for the F1 Sim Racing Championship.
Two names that need no introduction to those familiar with the Sim Racing scene, Thomas and Brendon joined the team in 2023, enjoying a successful first season racing alongside each other in KICK F1 Sim Racing Team colours. The pairing brought the team to a superb P2 finish in the teams’ standings – a huge step forward from past seasons, and the outfit’s best performance in five years. Now, motivated to continue progressing in this direction and building on the strong performance shown so far, the talented duo gears up for a new season, ready to go for the ultimate goals – the F1 Sim Racing Championship drivers’ and teams’ titles.
KICK F1 Sim Racing Team will return on track clad in its unmistakeable, eye-catching fluo racing green and black livery – recalling that of Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber in the Formula One World Championship.
Maintaining stability on all fronts, KICK F1 Sim Racing Team will be able to count on the unchanged support of title partner, streaming platform KICK, as well as sim racing supplier, Fanatec, Esports organisation, R8G and clothing supplier, X-Bionic. All is set for another thrilling season of sim racing, and KICK F1 Sim Racing Team, together with Thomas Ronhaar and Brendon Leigh, is ready to take on the challenge.
