Dear LFS Community, 14th November 2010, Team 6th Gear Racing borns. K. Peeters and I´m decided, after a really nice season in Team Rock Racing to do their own things. We started a Team, we wanted something different, colours, skins etc. and having some nice racing fun, on a higher level than in TRR. We started to make easy skins, just for public Racing. Around 1st December I met a young German boy named K. Küpper ( Sonsaku ) on a GTR Server who wanted to join us. I accepted him, because he is a very fast guy, especially on GTR´s. Then between Christmas and New Year, we drove the OWRL MRT Cup, which was our first real racing event, outside TRR. We´ve done it kinda good, team standing: 6th Place in overall. Then, somehow K. Küpper and K. Peeters went inactive for a long time, and I was the onliest driver for our Team. I was driving for myself, no leagues, no cups, just public racing, and I played with the thought of cancel this and go back to TRR, due lack of interest for our Team. Also finding new drivers was almost impossible for me. I decided to move to GTR2 a bit, LFS got boring for me. In early March, N. Wrage ( Camaro ) called me in Skype and asked, if he could join us. N. Wrage was also a driver in TRR , moved with us out of TRR. He decided to join a cruise Team named "TT". After it I didn´t hear anything from him a long time. He joined us, so I moved again to LFS. Started again to make more skins, easy one´s but that was ok for that time. Then B. Bradara joined us, a good friend from me, also in "reallife". He wasn´t that active in racing, more in cruising, so he left us a few weeks again. O. Koopmann Joined us also at that time also a young boy, out of my city, a slow driver, but with a huge knwledge of planning events good. like he has shown us at our CarBall WC. He´s not driving but planning, how I said. Then I started the Autocross Kart-Cup which was a big goal for me and the team. Big Starting grids in first 2 Rounds, but then it got less and less. At the end, Ramon Blauwhoff wons it. Before the Cup a young guy, named N. Demec joined us, wanted to help us in racing in leagues. Due he was long time just a cruiser, he couldn´t get his old speed back he left us in middle of September. At the beginning of September, we got our first Finnish driver! It´s name is T. Heinonen, when he joined us he was 15, so even younger than me ( almost 16 ). He is very fast on almost every car, a guy, who is able to learn fast. Then, in the middle of September I wanted to join the 16hrs of Kyoto. Problem was: 2 needed drivers were inactive. I tried always to get them known about it, K . Küpper, who wanted to drive GTR leagues before he went inactive, joined us 3 immediately after I asked him. Only K. Peeters, wasn´t sure, if he´s able to drive this, because he lost the interest in LFS. Then the 16h race came, with Peeters onboard. Was an amazing event and first time I saw that our drivers are proud of the team. We had a lot of fun during race in TS3 conversations, laughed a lot and made some jokes, how I wanted when I started the team. After the 16h race, we got more & more drivers, first A. Jokelainen, another fast finnish guys, M. Gode, a very fast German pilot, with real Karting experience, then finally our first Dutch members, J. Langeweg, known as „Dorito“ and R. Houben. Our last driver joined us a few days ago, a Scottish racer named C. Mason. Yeah, that was our first year
I really want to thank you guys for supporting us in the last year, was an amzing time with you guys! I also want to say two new things, which I want to change for the next year: N. Wrage will get admin status!
