The 2025 VSCA Sprint Cup delivered its fair share of drama, but for Sim City Racing, it was consistency that paved the road to glory. The #71 Porsche 911 GT3 R (992), driven by a quartet of talented racers including Jason Allen, Peter Spijkman, Kevin Carlisle, and Peter Nodwell, captured the title with steady top finishes and an early lead that proved untouchable.
Opening the campaign with a class victory at the MV Skinlab Grand Prix of Long Beach, the team immediately set the tone for the season. Despite fierce competition from rivals such as Fischer Motorsport and TwoLemmaTree Racing, Sim City Racing never relinquished the points lead — a remarkable display of control and strategic discipline in one of the most competitive GT PRO fields of the year.
After Long Beach, the team’s focus shifted to maintaining their advantage rather than chasing individual race wins. A fifth-place class finish at VIR and a strong runner-up result at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park reinforced their grip on the championship.
Even at Road America, the 2025 VSCA Sprint Cup finale, where they endured a challenging race and a post-event penalty review, the team’s points cushion proved insurmountable. Their ability to rebound and retain composure under scrutiny underscored the professionalism of both drivers and crew.
At the conclusion of the Sprint Cup season at Road America, Sim City Racing had amassed 1583 points, edging out the #44 Fischer Motorsport Porsche by 40 points and #84 Fischer Motorsport Porsche by 49 points. While other teams traded wins and setbacks, the #71 Sim City Racing Porsche finished inside the top ten at every round — a testament to precision, preparation, and reliability.
The Team Behind the Triumph
For Jason Allen, the Sprint Cup title reflected the culmination of collaboration and hard work.
“Very exciting,” Allen said. “For the Sprint races you need raw speed at times, and that puts your setup team to the test. It was a total team effort — strategy calls, consistent driving, and extracting every ounce of speed from the car.”
His teammate Peter Spijkman, who played a crucial role in two of the four rounds, emphasized the importance of consistency over outright pace.
“We didn’t cross the line first in any of the races, but we gathered enough points each time,” Spijkman explained. “That consistency delivered us the cup.”
Both drivers credited the technical crew and team engineers for giving them the tools to stay competitive throughout the season, even when the outright speed wasn’t there.
Challenges and Resilience
Despite the team’s near-perfect execution, the season was not without obstacles. Sprint Cup races, by nature, leave no margin for error — and the #71 Porsche faced its share of close calls. A lap-one incident at Road America created a huge obstacle for the team in that race, as the car was significantly damaged in the incident and the team was handed a 60-second post-race penalty by Race Control, causing post-race controversy.
Reflecting on the challenges, Spijkman noted: “Finding the right balance between staying out of trouble and pushing hard enough was tough. Sprint races are short — you can’t afford mistakes or incidents. Although we didn’t always manage to stay out of trouble, we still did fairly good.”
That mindset — cautious aggression tempered by discipline — defined Sim City Racing’s season and ultimately secured their championship.
A First Season to Remember
Perhaps most impressively, 2025 marked Sim City Racing’s debut season in VSCA. To not only compete but to capture a championship title in their first year speaks volumes about the team’s preparation, chemistry, and determination.
Their achievement sets a strong foundation for future campaigns — and a clear message to their competitors: Sim City Racing is here to stay.
As the checkered flag fell on the final Sprint Cup round, the #71 Porsche stood atop the standings — Leader, from start to finish — a fitting reflection of the precision and professionalism that defined their season.
