Team Spotlight: SimRacing Norway

SimRacing Norway (SRN) was founded in 2020 when we were racing in F1 2020. Back then, we became a team that had outgrown the game. So we decided to split into smaller teams and become friendly rivals. Eight of us came together to form what is now SimRacing Norway. Over time, as the F1 series declined and we transitioned to iRacing, only two of the original eight drivers remained active.

By 2022, there was a period when only Kim André was actively racing under the SRN banner. However, this marked the beginning of our growth into the team we are today. Now, SRN has 20 drivers, with 10 to 15 actively racing every week, while others participate when time allows.

We are mostly about having fun and try to get at least 2 cars on the grid in special events. Some of us are doing leagues like Radical SimRacing, Apex Racing and national championships. Others are doing mostly officials and the Club Scandinavia League which is a league free to run for Scandinavians.

A special shoutout goes to our sponsor Polyalkemi!
