After an intense 12-round season that began back in February, the Radical Simracing 2024 Championships are nearing their end. With only one race remaining, championships, titles and podiums are to be won or lost, while most spots in teh World Finals are already taken. Here’s a breakdown as the seasons come to an end across the Europe Pro, Europe Am, Americas Pro, and Americas Am championships.
With an absolutely stunning performance throughout the year, Andy Voelkel (Voelkel Motorsports) managed to build up a 59-points lead before the final race of the season and become the first to secure a championship win in 2024. With the champion crowned, the focus in the final race shifts to the fight for the runner-up spot. Adrian Fernandez (ADRA eSports) holds second with 190 points, but both Jacklin and Krasic, tied at 185 points, are within striking distance. A strong performance in the final race could see either Jacklin or Krasic pass Fernandez for second place.
In the battle for the final podium position, Cedric Ohayon (Lima Racing) remains an outside contender, sitting at 168 points. He would need a perfect race and the frontrunners in misfortune to break into the Top 3.
For the World Finals qualification, Mayer Deonarine currently holds the last qualifying spot with 59 points, but Solorzano (52 points) and Hidy (51 points) are still within striking distance.
The Americas Pro Championship is Lucas Vieira’s (Team SR8) to lose, as he leads by 16 points over Ryan Oddo (Team ERC) in P2. Gaining just 4 points in the Sprint could already secure the title for Vieira. But with big opportunities comes high pressure, and we might see the tide turn in Oddo’s favor.
Franco Sánchez (Virtual Racing Peru), sitting in third with 242 points, is too far behind to challenge for the top spot but still has an outside chance at second place if Oddo fails. His third-place position is secure, as John Benoualid (Lima Racing) is too far back to threaten the Top 3.
The fight for the Top 10 and World Finals qualification seems settled. David Unger (Team ERC) holds 8th with 104 points, followed by Bruno Abrantes and Mark Harris (Race Sim Canada Solo), who round up the Top 10.
James Barry (Insert Name eRacing Team) heads into the final round of the European Pro Championship as the favorite. He leads by 10 points over Andreas Friedrich (254 points) and 13 points over Christoph Lipp (251 points), creating a three-way battle for the title. Just like in the Americas Championship, things look good for Barry, but a single incident in the Green Hell could swing the championship in anyone’s favor.
While the battle for the Top 3 positions is intense, the race for World Finals qualification has already been decided in the Europe Pro Series, with all drivers down to P13 having secured their spots.
In the Europe Am Championship, Adam Lock (Project 91 Racing Team) might be able to have a more relaxed attitud. He holds a 17-point lead over his teammate Gabriel Berger (219 points), who remains within striking distance but needs Lock to really mess up.
The fight for third place is a lot closer. Tom Euler (Gtunit) currently sits in third with 202 points but faces a strong challenge from Dorian Lelievre, who is only 5 points behind, putting both drivers in contention for a podium finish.
For World Finals qualification, Craig Gregory (Team Moop Green) holds the 10th and final qualifying spot with 118 points. Drivers outside the Top 10, like Edgaras Skardinskas (79 points), are mathematically out of reach ahead of the last round.
With the final race looming, every point counts as drivers fight for championship titles and World Finals qualification. The stage is set for a dramatic finish, with close battles across all four divisions. Will the leaders hold their ground, or will the underdogs stage a last-minute upset? All eyes are on the final race of the Radical Simracing Championships.
