Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup: Webster cruises to first title with Le Mans victory

With the main race to spare, Cooper Webster won the 2025 iRacing Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup ahead of 2023 champion Jordan Caruso, after Redline teamwork helped him to win the opening race, and therefore the title.

His gap of 53 points after the first race was more than Caruso could score in race two, and just as well, as an incident at the first chicane caused him to finish 20^th. 

Race 1

Qualifying was always going to be important, even at Le Mans, because Caruso’s day would be much more difficult with lots of Redline drivers around the first three rows. Despite qualifying fifth, the Australians’ fears would be realised, with Sebastian Job on pole and Diogo Pinto slipping through on the first lap, giving Redline the first four positions. 

From an already championship winning position, Webster then made a pass for the lead on the opening lap, solidifying that position further. Caruso’s race wouldn’t get any easier either, as when he pulled out to try and make a move for fourth, the triple slipstream for Pinto always kept him comfortably ahead. 

Added to that, Alejandro Sánchez (on double-duty this weekend with Racing Unleashed) made a couple of attempted moves too, and Webster was in the clear. All he had to do was remain mistake-free, and that he did easily, crossing the line for another race victory, and sealing the title with still one race to go. 

Race 2

The pressure for those at the front was gone, and it certainly appeared that way at the first chicane of race two. Sánchez went straight on through the gravel, while team-mates Webster and Job hit each other, the latter retiring from the race, and causing carnage behind. The now 2025 champion would later pick up a five-point penalty for a later incident with Elliot Vayron, too.

Luke McKeown’s rocket launch off the line gave him the lead ahead of polesitter Florian Lebigre, who then drafted with Caruso to overtake into Indianapolis on the same lap. This battle would continue for some time while Redline couldn’t get their drivers together to draft. 

Eventually, though, Gustavo Ariel got past Caruso on lap two and was leading by the third lap. After an exchange of the lead with Caruso later that lap, he got to halfway in the lead with Pinto just behind, reforming the drafting partnership that had helped Redline so much in race one. 

Pinto would pass for the lead into the second chicane of the last lap, while into the Porsche curves, Ariel would surprisingly take it back. This helped to keep the others at bay, even despite McKeown and Sanchez getting together on the last lap as teammates to try and overhaul them. 

Ariel would win the last race of the season in a Redline 1-2, capping off another fantastic season for simracing’s team to beat.

Webster will go down as the champion, just 19 points ahead of Caruso at the end, but with four drivers in the top seven, this final race at Le Mans only further cemented Redline’s sim racing dominance.
