RCI Diamond Drive Cup
The final round of the RCI Diamond Drive Cup was last Wednesday evening 30-06-2021 at Monza.90 minutes race with a mandatory pitstop, fuel and tire change.
I was standing third in the championship, there needed to be a miracle to win the championship. I knew my chances were low, because of a game crash at the Misano race and a crash at Paul Ricard. I didn’t take the pole position, started P4. (no extra point) I finished second and drove the fastest lap.I ended up second in the championship and I’m very happy with my four podiums this season. I made a lot of progression, especially with driving consistently. That’s a huge thanks to my new Heusinkveld pedals and the pedal plates!! With Sarah Johnson we drove in the team championship, we ended second there as well!

The Sim Grid Endurance Cup
Last Saturday 03-07-2021 was The Sim Grid Endurance Cup Round 4 at Paul Ricard. 9H together with Alethea Boucq and Sarah Johnson. Unfortunately, Sarah had a disconnect, I had some dinner then. We joined back in and lost a chance for a good result. Good thing is, we kept going and didn’t give up!
We ended up P27.The Sim Grid More Female Racers Final Round
Last Monday 05-07-2021, was the final round of The sim Grid More Female Racers at the Nürburgring.
I drove as a co-driver with Eris, unfortunately, we didn’t have time to practice together. Eris drove well, we ended up P10 and P5 in class.
We achieved some very good results with GTWR R8G Female Racing this season!
The overall podium was for GTWR R8G Female racing, we didn’t have that before!!
The girls worked very hard for it and I’m very proud of them!!
I made the lap guide for The Sim Grid and I also made a blooper clip; you can watch that here!
