It will be the last 24 hour race of this year, the 24hrs of Spa-Francochamps! RSR is entering once again with 3 cars and for the very first with the BMW Z4 GT3.
The race will be streamed from multiple perspectives so you don't miss a second of the action. Our built-in multiview plugin gives you the possibility to watch all streams at the same time!
Tune in to see familiar iRacing endurance veterans including @falcon2081 who finally returns to Car #64. @ramiboo who is joining this year for the first time Car #64. @Pamellaaa, @GioVtec and @1185323118 who are both joining Car #65 for the very first time and making their debut in the RSR iRacing endurance history.

falcon2081 (iRacing Lead): We are finally back at it with the great Spa-Francorchamps! We are here to re-assert ourselves and prove that we can finish this amazing race. Sadly last year we didn't have good luck and were taken out. I also missed my chance to run this race but with my seasoned veteran team-mates I know we will do well. The BMW is also new to me but the car has show great pace around here even with its handicap in straight line speed. I want to give a huge shout out to everyone that dedicates their time to doing something like this. It takes a lot of work, practice, and dedication to your team. I wish all the sister cars good luck tomorrow and can't wait to start this race.
Spa is very much a love / hate relationship with me. At times, I love it! At others, it hates me and I hate it in return. A bit like Nurburgring, this is probably going to be a race of attrition with the walls being close, and little room for error in a number of places. It's such a classic track in that sense, with some places good for overtaking opportunities.
I'm hoping that the prep that we have done this week has set us up in a good position to take on the competition, as it being only a single class is going to bring on new challenges when it comes to traffic. Certainly looking forward to this one, as the team is looking strong with very similar pace so we should be good to capitalize when other teams switch to their slower drivers. Here's to hoping for another good RSR result!

Looking forward to another great 24 hours with my Friends here at RSR. Spa is an amazing track that I've had the pleasure of racing at a handful of times and it'll be a great challenge to do it virtually too. Running in the #64 car I'll be trying to up my game as much as possible due to the split we'll be running in, but also trying to run as safe and consistent to give the car the best chance of a good result. Good luck to all!
Last 24 Hour race of this year, new car, known track. Last year it was very messy at Spa-Francorchamps and I hope we can make things up for last years performance. We showed at Le Mans that our strength is our good mix between consistency and pace.
Good luck to our sister cars #65 and #66, it's hammertime!

After missing my debut in the 24hrs of Le Mans, I have now the chance to participate in the 24hrs of SPA. I feel confidence to attack one of my favorites and most fearest race tracks.
Our Car#65 will have 3 out 4 drivers making their debut with RSR in a 24hrs race, but we're going to do the best to cross the checker flag.
At least we can feel like the team with less pressure

Best of luck for Car#64 and #66.

So here we are again another 24h endurance race with RSR to be done and completed, number 5 so far and a new set of team mates to go. This is going to be fun and hopefully we can bring the car home in one piece. Just another walk in the park they say yeah right. Let us enjoy it and make everyone proud at RSR
Let us enjoy it and make everyone proud at RSRMy first endurance race ever and it's shaping up to be a serious challenge, looking forward to getting stuck in and hope I can keep the car out of danger (and walls) and deliver a strong pace for the team. My main aim for our inexperienced team is to get the car to the end but with some luck a strong result should also be within our reach.
Coming Soon...
Well as we approach the tail end of the 2017 of the iRacing Endurance events we see RSR and Car #66 heading to the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps for our 5th endurance race of the season.
Again we are facing a new challenge in driving a old stalwart of the GT3 Class the BMW Z4, I know everyone has been working hard over the preceding weeks in preparation.

A new endurance race for me, and a new car to the RSR stable. I think this one will be gruelling with the level of competition and number of cars on the track. While it will be a relief to not worry about quicker classes, having 40+ cars on the same race pace means 1 thing: 24 hour sprint!
Spa, feels like home. Not because it's the extention of my backyard, but because this track symbolises the start of my iRacing career. Last time I drove here on the track was in the Audi R8 LMS, but since the BOP we decided to jump into the little BMW. With a few setup tweaks and a fresh paint, I feel like we can outperform the Mercedes armada.
Returning to an iracing endurance event after only making a brief cameo appearrance at le man, i'm looking forward to this event with car #66 and hoping we can get a clean run so we can show the pace we've had in previous event's but havent had the opportunity's to use
