Jesse Telkkälä signs with SAVAGE SimSports

We are proud to welcome our first finnish driver to the team. Jesse is a 14-year old student who has previously raced in GTAL, LFSCART Light, Mini FBM, RACCAR, Baby UFR League, GT3 Touring Car Championship and LFS Super GT Series. So even when considering his young age, he has already gained a lot of experience.

A few words from Jesse himself:
“My name is Jesse Telkkälä, I’m a 14-year old boy living in Central Finland. I obviously play Live For Speed and in my spare time I’m a quite active playing football, as that is one of my biggest interests besides motorsport.
I’m very proud to be a part of this team. I have had already great moments with these guys and I really want to help the team grow stronger. I am sure that my skills will improve greatly in my new surroundings.”

Jesse will already be representing SAVAGE SimSports on November 20th, in the second round of the Super GT Series. We are very excited about this and we are absolutely positive that Jesse will do us proud.

Welcome back guys

22 - Magnus Björndal (turbofreak) - Sweden - SAVAGE SimSports

Very nice r4ptor

Great video Teemu

The most anticipated endurance race of Live For Speed was held this weekend. This was the fifth edition of the annual Racing Minds 16 hour race.

It was the first race for the team under the SAVAGE SimSports tag, so it was crucial for us to put in a strong effort and leave our opponents with a good first hand impression. We entered with a XR2 in the GT2 class.

Magnus Björndal drove the qualification session and after an impressive performance he qualified second with a lap time of 3.34.70, with the heavily favored team of LowLandLions being only two tenths faster, taking pole position.

Magnus was also the driver set to start off the race, doing the first two stints. The green flag was waved and the race was on. We got off to a good start and Magnus and LowLandLions quickly pulled out a rather significant gap to the rest of the cars in the class. After a few lap it was clear that we were lacking top-speed compared to the LLL car, due to higher downforce settings. However, Magnus showed no mercy and was glued to the rear of the LowLandLions car and with around 10 minutes left in his first stint, he bravely overtook LowLandLions, putting SAVAGE SimSports in the lead of the GT2 class.

At the two hour mark Rickard Gustafsson took over the car, still leading our class. It was clear that the drivers of LowLandLions were faster than most of our drivers. Late in the third hour LLL showed why they were the favorites to take the win in this race and passed Rickard. But pace isn't everything, you can go a long with consistency. And that came to show when the LLL went off track in T1 and got stuck in the gravel. Rickard passed them and SAVAGE SimSports was back into the lead.

When Ditlev Errebo took over the car, we were almost 50 seconds ahead of LowLandLions. Even though Ditlev put in a solid performance, LLL regained the lead late in the 6th hour. But with LLL only being 8 seconds ahead of us, we still felt quite confident that we could still take the win.

Thomas Lönn was the fourth driver in our car, only doing a single stint. Unfortunately we were unlucky and Thomas suffered from engine-damage and struggled with the car throughout his whole stint, doing whatever he could to keep up, but causing him to lose a substantial amount of time.
When Magnus Björndal got back in the car, we decided to accept the +1 lap penalty for rejoining the race to get our engine-damage fixed. This would obviously put us even further behind, but we really had no choice. Luckily Magnus put in another great performance and decreased the gap significantly, however the chances of taking the win were still looking bleek.

During the late night and early morning stints both Magnus, Ditlev and Rickard put in great efforts trying to regain our lost time. During the 12th hour of the race, Rickard unfortunately slipped and missed the apex of the chicane and hit the opposing wall. This lead to an extra pitstop, again costing us some valuable time. At this point we realized that our chances of winning the race was pretty much non-existent, unless LowLandLions had a disconnect or major damage.

Now it was all about keeping the second place. The Serbian Racing Team, the car behind us, was still far behind, so we felt very comfortable about the situation still. When we crossed the finish line and the checkered flag was waved, we were still placed second, one lap down from LowLandLions and two laps ahead of The Serbian Racing Team.

We are very happy about our performance and result here, we achieved our goal of ending in the top3, so a strong second place was very satisfying. Hopefully we will be able to win next year.

A huge thanks to the organizors from Racing Minds, Tommy Østgaard for the livestream and to Björn Schenke (aka. b0rn) from Team Evo for making our 16H car skin. And of course a big thanks to all the participants.
