Coanda Simsport Tops BMW Sim 120 Cup From Sebring

Two of iRacing’s top road racers punched their respective tickets to Munich on Sunday morning when VRS Coanda Simsport teammates Joshua Rogers and Mitchell deJong teamed up to win the BMW Sim 120 Cup from Sebring International Raceway. Leading all but one lap, the Australian and American scored a victory of just over nine seconds ahead of Team Redline’s Maximilian Wenig and Maximilian Benecke, who won the season opener at Daytona International Speedway. Red Bull Racing Esports’ Sebastian Job and Patrik Holzmann completed the podium.

The event was the second in a six-race series promoted by iRacing and BMW, and featured hundreds of top sim racers and casual iRacers alike taking on the historic Florida road course. In the top split, well over half of the field finished on the lead lap in the two-hour event, and only four cars failed to finish within at least one lap of the lead.
