Team Spotlight: INERT eRacing Team

The Insert Name eRacing Team was founded on a passion for motorsport, competitiveness, and strategic ambition.

Originally, Jorge Gonzaga raced solo in the Radical series, but rather than focusing on his personal pace, he set out to build a competitive team capable of winning races and championships. Using his marketing expertise, he designed a bold, high-visibility livery to make INERT stand out. This strategy generated hype and recognition, and set the foundation for the team’s identity.

The team’s breakthrough came when James Barry joined them, whose dominance in multiple competitions pushed the team to the front of the grid. However, to win the European Team Championship, INERT needed more front-running talent. Andreas Friedrich and Myron Ianny joined, bringing speed and consistency, leading to INERT’s first major titles, including the European Teams and Drivers Championship.

“INERT’s 2025 is also marked by its first partnership with DRE (Digital Race Engineer), helping our drivers with real-time strategy and telemetry tools. With DRE in our race prep, we stay sharp and competitive at the front.”

For 2025, INERT strengthened its roster even further, recruiting Christoph and Sebastian Lipp – the “Lipp Train” – alongside the ever-consistent Denis Kiriakopoulos. With this elite lineup, the team aims to compete for titles across all Radical competitions while securing sponsorships to equip its drivers with the best tools for success.

“2025 is set to be INERT’s biggest year yet—chasing victories, championships, and long-term legacy.”
