David Fidock is an English driver in the GPVWC and currently drives for Hawkeye Racing in the 2015 Superleague season. He is the reigning and defending Superleague Drivers' Champion, having won the title with CSG Racing in 2014.

Early Sim-Racing Career

David Started his Sim racing career in 2007, Racing on his own website called "Racing123" David dominated the season winning 16 of the 18 races. And took his first Title

In 2008, Dave set out to defend his title and after a long season battle with Matt Harvey he did just that, Becoming a double world champion. And took another 13 wins on the way.

2009 saw David take on another challenge, wanting to win a title by starting every race from the back of the grid. David took the title battle to the final race of the season but it was just a little to much, David took 8 wins that season, and finished every race but 2 on the podium. but sadly missed out on the title by a small margin.

2010 gave us a very motivated Fidock, The 1st 6 races he took 6 poles and 3 wins, And lead the title by a massive 30 points. But sadly, due to problems with the mod the community voted to abandon the season. and to start the season over and help bring more drivers to the league. So the season was quickly over, And a new mod was found. Season 6 of the OGL season was raced on with the RFT2010 mod. A mod the suited David very well, He went on to take 8 wins in a 12 race calender (again shortened due to lack of interest in the mod) and his 3rd Sim-Racing title.

2011 David Had his hardest title battle to date, Driving in the Ferrari in the OGLSimRacing league, Dave found himself in a season long battle with Florian Geier, David would eventually come out on top, Taking 12 pole positions and 13 wins. But most importantly his 4th Sim-Racing title.

In 2012 OGL went to custom teams, And partnered with Florian Geier they both worked together to create "Red Arrow Racing" a car which went on to dominate the season and play nicely into David's hands. He went on to take 9 wins, and his 5th title by over 100 points.

Also this year, David was told about another league "GPVWC" So decided to give it a look, He signed for No Fear Racing in the Super cup league. He took part in the 1st 7 races But becasue of his title battle with Florian in another league, Dave was forced to pull out to fully concentrate on the title.

2013 was a interesting year for David, He decided to take a season out of Racing and instead take up a role in commentary, A role he very much enjoyed, but soon The racing blood in him started to boil, And he was on the search for a drive.

David was signed up by Dave-carr smith in the formula challenge league to drive for Simink. His debut came at the Austrian GP finishing a impressive 6th place, after only a short amount of time testing the new mod. David joined the season over 100 points behind the title leader, And although many people told Dave to push for the title. He was happy just to gain experience in a new league and help the team to the constructors title. David went on to take 16 podiums and 3 wins, his 1st being the British GP. He finished 2nd in the title race after joining late on, closing the gap a little but Dave did for fill his targets of 2013 by helping Simink clinch the 2013 Formula Challenge constructors title.

David also signed for Midnight Motosport as a test/reserve driver, And at the belgium GP Dave got the chance to drive in SL, He finished p4 after a mistake midway through the race.

In 2014 David took on his biggest challenge to date, Joining one of the biggest leagues with the biggest drivers. Again Dave stayed with team boss Dave-Carr smith, But in a new team "CSG Racing" A team making a return to the Superleague.

The season couldn't have gone any better for Fidock after a very intense battle with team mate lewis redshaw David eventually went on to win the title by 58 points (his 6th sim-racing title in total). Dave was quoted as saying this is by far his greatest achievement in Sim-Racing, coming to a new league with big name drivers and managing to come out on top was a dream he never thought would come true. David also helped CSG return and win the constructors title on their return.

David went on to take a few records this year. He was the first british driver to win the superleague. he finished every race on the podium, and his total points at the end of the season was the most scored by a driver in any year of GPVWC superleague.

For 2015 David will join up with Hawkeye racing as he try's to defend his title.
