πŸ† From the simulator to becoming a real-world champion.

My journey started back in 2019 on a simulator. What began as simply racing against the computer eventually turned into searching for a community, joining a racing league and competing against some incredibly talented drivers.

From starting at the bottom and learning everything along the way, I never imagined that it would eventually lead to becoming a real-world Time Attack Champion.

If I'm being completely honest, I never thought racing in real life would ever be an option for me. It was always a dream rather than something I genuinely believed I could achieve.

But over the years, I've been incredibly lucky to meet so many amazing people who have supported me, offered advice, helped with the car and become part of the journey. I genuinely appreciate every single person who has played a part in getting me to where I am today.

My first full competitive year in real motorsport saw me finish 2nd overall in the championship. This year, we went one step further and became 2026 Time Attack Champion. πŸ†

None of this would have happened without the people who helped me along the way. In particular, finding Simsport Racing, meeting Steve Proudley and Richard Smith was a huge turning point. Without them, I genuinely don't know if this journey would ever have started.

From racing against F1 World Champions on the simulator, to eventually racing a car in the real world, and meeting so many incredible people along the way β€” it's been one hell of a journey.

To anyone in the sim racing community who dreams of making the step into real motorsport: keep pushing. You never know where it might take you, and you never know what's waiting around the next corner.

This started with a game and a dream.

Now I'm excited to see where the next chapter takes us. 🏁

πŸ† 2026 TIME ATTACK CHAMPION πŸ†

6 RACES. 6 WINS. 5 LAP RECORDS. 1 CHAMPIONSHIP.

What a season. What a journey. What a result. πŸ”₯

After countless hours of work, development and preparation, the 2026 season has come to an incredible end β€” Time Attack Champion.

Six races. Six wins. Five lap records. To achieve this with the VX220 is something I’m incredibly proud of.

But this achievement isn't just down to me. It wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support from my sponsors, team, family, friends and everyone who has supported Dean Riley Racing throughout the season.

Every message, share, like, sponsorship and helping hand has played a part.

Thank you for believing in the project and being part of the journey. ❀️

As the 2026 season comes to an end, I want to take a moment to properly thank every single sponsor and partner who has supported me and the VX220 throughout this season.

A lap around Brands Hatch from my point of view! πŸ‘€

I only managed to record a few laps on the day, so unfortunately I didn’t capture any of the fast ones.

🏁 ROUND 6 – BRANDS HATCH

What a way to finish the season! πŸ”₯

Heading into Round 6, the championship was already secured, so the pressure was off. The goal was simple β€” go out, have fun and try to beat my own lap record and break into the 50s.

WARM UP
Straight out of the box the car felt strong. I knew there was time in it and my first flying lap was already into the 51s.

⏱️ 51.691
πŸ₯‡ P1 Overall | πŸ₯‡ P1 Class

ATTACK 1
Time to push and experiment with different lines, braking points and corner entries. I found another chunk of time and managed to break my own lap record.

⏱️ 51.250
πŸ₯‡ P1 Overall | πŸ₯‡ P1 Class

ATTACK 2
I knew the 50s were there. A few laps came very close, but traffic and track space weren't quite falling into place. Still managed another improvement.

⏱️ 51.174
πŸ₯‡ P1 Overall | πŸ₯‡ P1 Class

SUPER ATTACK πŸ”₯

This was it. Full send.

Temperatures had dropped and everything was looking perfect for a quick lap. I knew I had the pace β€” I just needed to put it all together.

And finally…

πŸ’₯ 50.813 πŸ’₯

A new personal best and lap record β€” and faster than last year's Club 2WD lap record!

πŸ₯‡ P1 Overall
πŸ₯‡ P1 Class
πŸ† 50.813 Lap Record

Even more crazy, all of these times were set on the same 2023 DOT-coded tyres I've been using for the last two years.

Who knows what could have been possible on a fresh set… πŸ‘€

That's the 2026 season done and dusted.

πŸ† 6 WINS
πŸ† 5 LAP RECORDS
πŸ† 2026 CLASSIC & RETRO CHAMPION

What a season. What a car. What a way to finish it.

Now the real work begins…

2027 starts now. πŸ”΅πŸ

A massive thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout the season. ❀️
