History

Foundation

In August 2020 the team was founded by its owners, Augusto Tristão, Cristian Pereira, Felipe Costa and Rafael Oliveira Pereira. During the initial stages of the team, the goal was to build a solid roster to perform in the various leagues spread in the Brazilian sim racing scene.

2021

Already in 2021, the team decided to expand its roster, bringing experienced drivers in Nascar and Indycar leagues, achieving success with important victories, such as the BandSports (Brazilian Sports broadcaster) edition of the Indy 500 and several titles in Nascar and Indy categories. Also in 2021, it achieved spotlight status in Porsche Esports Brasil championships, achieving not just multiple race wins but also being the Teams championship point leader mid-championship. Lorenzo Bonder, who was one of Indy league champions and also is a sim racing commentator for iRB eSports and Racespot TV, was invited to join the management board of YouRaceBR to help the kickoff the global expansion of the team roster and brand.

2022

In 2022, the team remained its participation focus in the iRacing platform, partaking not just in Indy and Nascar championships nationally, but Road categories such as Porsche Cup, Stock Car and GT3. With this enchanced participation focus, the team also ventured in its first international championships, such as the North American Racing League, with one of the drivers being the runner-up in its Porsche Cup Pro-AM championship and Teams championship as well, and the VCO Inifinity, where the team got for the first time, driver wise, a taste of top tier competition against the likes of Coanda, Redline, BS+ and Apex (and many others). Furthermore, the team also accomplished glory in VCe Stock Car Brazil and Porsche Esports Brasil once more, being the winning team in the innaugural season of Stock Car season, and former driver Pedro Oliveira was the winning driver in Porsche Esports Brasil Carrera Cup Pro-AM.

2023

Early in the year the team managed to feature for the first time in an iRacing Special Event top split at the Daytona 24 broadcasted top split, despite an early race retirement. More importantly, the team could establish being one of main teams in the Brazilian sim racing scene, achieving more titles and good results in Brazilian championships. Future goals are to expand the team brand to international markets, bringing in top level drivers, enhancing the team structure while looking forward to feature in the biggest events and championships in iRacing, for the time being although team expansion into other sims is being looked at.
