+ | ==Racing History== |
||
+ | ===Season 1=== |
||
+ | '''Velox''' entered the GPGSL with Honda engines and Dunlop tyres, their drivers were team owner [[Nick van der Voort]] and [[Matt Houston]]. Van der Voort scored two podiums for the team, a 2nd place at the [[Monaco Grand Prix]] and a 3rd place at the [[Italian Grand Prix]], but with a poor season by Houston the team could only finish with a 6th place in the constructors championship. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ===Season 2=== |
||
+ | |||
+ | Van der Voort and Houston came back for another season, now with a car that could fight for the top spots, also at the [[German Grand Prix]] the team hired [[Phoenix Racing]] test driver [[Zsigmond Somogyi]] as their new test driver. The team's first victories came at [[Season 2]] with Van der Voort winning at the [[Dutch Grand Prix]] and [[British Grand Prix]], and Houston winning at the [[Belgian Grand Prix]] and [[Brazilian Grand Prix]], they also went on to score four other podiums to the team. '''Velox''' saw a huge climb in the constructors championship, finishing in 2nd place, only behind champions [[Team Shadow]]. Houston and Van der Voort also had good drivers championships, finishing with the 4th and 5th places |
||
+ | |||
+ | ===Season 3=== |
||
+ | |||
+ | For the [[Season 3]] the team decided to start producing their own engines, dropping Honda. All three drivers were back, but Somogyi left after the [[Japanese Grand Prix]] to be a main driver at [[Double F]]. The new engine was not really powerfu, and '''Velox''' had a drop of performance when compared with the previous season. But the aero package of the car was superb and Van de Voort won the [[Japanese Grand Prix]] and Houston the [[San Marino Grand Prix]], they even finished in the podium on six other races, but were not the second best team in the grid anymore, both [[ItalianEnglish Dynamics]] and [[Martini Paddock Racing]] were faster and finished with better results. Velox finished the year with a 4th place in the constructors championship. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ===Season 4=== |
||
+ | |||
+ | In [[Season 4]] the team kept their own engines and drivers, and signed rookies [[Adam Davies]] and [[John Maverick]] as their test drivers. The engine received a big boost in the off season and the team went on winning eight races that season, with Van der Voort winning in the [[Australian Grand Prix]], [[Hungarian Grand Prix]] and [[Canadian Grand Prix]], while Houston won at the [[Belgian Grand Prix]], [[Japanese Grand Prix]], [[Pacific Grand Prix]], [[German Grand Prix]] and [[British Grand Prix]]. Team Shadow and MPR were their only true opponents, but '''Velox''' managed to finish the season with an almost forty points lead to both of them in what was a dominant performance. They finished in 1st place in the constructors championship, taking their first and only title, while Matt Houston won the drivers championship, also his first and only, Van der Voort finished with the 3rd place, behind MPR's [[Marko Aleksander]]. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Despite the amazing season and the best car in the grid, Van der Voort decided to sold the team as the new rules didn't allowed team owners to be main drivers anymore, that was the end of an amazing team. |
