I. THE INCEPTION

CoRe SimRacing (previously known as “CoRe-Racing” or “CoRe-Racing-Team”) is a premier international sim-racing team established March 9th, 2005 by two north american gamers from the ranks of the “CoRe Clan” (a former casual Battlefield Online clan). Evolving mainly in the auspicious “Live for Speed” (LFS) racing simulator in the early 2000’s, the newly founded team and its’ key members Ben Keough and Lee Baker began expansion immediately as they added quick and talented sim-racers of the Live For Speed community to its line-up.

II. ESTABLISHING RENOWN

During the following three years, the team expanded greatly and had become one of the most successful and familiar virtual racing teams in the Live for Speed community. In these beginning years, CoRe had enjoyed various amounts of success earning awards, victories, championships and honors. The so-called results and race event statistic system “spdoRacing Event Database” ranked the CoRe Racing team 2nd for the most ever race victories, event podiums and overall pole-positions in prime “Live For Speed” sim-racing history. The legacy of CoRe Racing had just begun.

III. FRESH MOMENTUM

After a crucial number of members of the team decided to leave in 2011, CoRe Racing had to renew itself in order to resume on their success. By recruiting the two influent members Maik Paluch and Christian Kistner of the german Live for Speed sim-racing scene, the team was able to rapidly strengthen the administration and management of the team. A fresh look and talented newcomers from the Scandinavian area gave the team another opulent push to continue sim-racing on a high tier competitive level.

IV. A NEW CHALLENGE

After the Live for Speed racing simulator activity significantly dropped due to slow development and familiar virtual competitions as well as racing series were ceased, several CoRe Racing members opted to switch to the popular racing simulator, iRacing.com. With help from numerous fresh and eager newcomers from iRacing’s community, CoRe Racing was ready to tackle a new chapter in their sim-racing career and began to build on experience in a complete new racing simulator environment.

V. TIME FOR OVERHAUL

In late 2014, through preparation to celebrate the upcoming ten year anniversary of the team in 2015, CoRe had seen their first complete rebranding, image and logo overhaul. For a significant milestone, the team wanted to make an impact. Added to the online presence of harmonization needs, “CoRe-Racing” officially became “CoRe SimRacing”.

VI. REACHING A PEAK

In 2017, in association with partners and sponsors, CoRe SimRacing did manifest remarkable results within the iRacing.com scene. Championships and victories were gathered in various online competitions as well as in offline LAN events. The team was also able to unveil multiple podium results in iRacing’s yearly well-attended one-off events. As a peak, CoRe proved to be the top of the competition by winning the most prestigious iRacing championship at the time: The “iRacing Blancpain GT Series” in 2017.

VIII. EMBRACING THE LEGACY

Once the sim-racing esports hype post Covid-19 has settled and soothed, CoRe SimRacing stood true to its roots by enjoying and embracing every single moment of their unique team’s legacy. Facing new challenges in mostly national as well as known leagues and competitions, the team added successful efforts to their results archive by claiming victories and podium results, repeatedly. By winning the german ADAC 2023 DSRC Endurance League organized by the (DMSB) Deutscher Motorsport Bund, CoRe proved to be on top of the competition still awaiting their team’s 20 year anniversary mark.

VII. THE REFOCUS

After another rebranding and design overhaul in 2019, CoRe developed advanced knowledge and experience in the sim-racing business. The team decided to dive into the esports scene by competing in online and offline events such as the ADAC SimRacing Expo, the F1 Esports Series and the McLaren’s World’s Fastest Gamer competition. CoRe was invited to the Porsche SimRacing Summit in Leipzig in December 2018 to help encounter exciting topics around the sim-racing business and future. While charging through the most desired and well-known series and championships within the sim-racing realm, CoRe is known part of big events such as the digital version of the Nürburging Langstrecken Serie or the Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Super Cup, today.
