SAMANTHA TAN RACING Advances Through VCO Esports Racing League LMP2 Round

September 29, 2025

• SAMANTHA TAN RACING proved they belong in elite esports company by advancing through the second chance qualifier to reach the VCO Esports Racing League quarter finals. While the spotlight focused on the big names battling in WEC-spec Oreca 07 LMP2 cars at Sakhir, we saw a team that’s quietly building momentum and refusing to be intimidated by the heavy hitters.
• The quarter finals delivered the drama we’ve come to expect, with established powerhouses Coanda and Team Nitro setting up a final showdown that had everything – contact, penalties, and enough controversy to keep race control busy. Coanda’s Charlie Collins and Gabriel Salomon proved why their organization sits among sim racing’s elite, weathering early chaos and strategic qualifying adjustments to claim victory.
• Looking ahead to Gran Turismo 7, the series shifts to PlayStation territory where traditional hierarchies might get reshuffled. With teams recruiting Gran Turismo World Series specialists and the format changing to three-team finals with just two drivers each, we’re about to see who can adapt fastest when the rules change and the playing field levels out.
