Deltec Racing Designs as company was established in 2014 after Riaan van der Westhuizen identified the need to start showcasing his designs. This is how Deltec Racing Designs was born! Since 2007 Riaan have been designing custom skins for various clients, leagues and real life racing teams. We are still going strong, and created a website specifically to shows these great designs!

Early Years

Deltec Racing Team has its roots in 2004 with the late Antonio Racing Team. In 2005 Deltec Racing Team joined the Formula Sim Racing League. As a 1st time rookie, Marius finished 2nd in the Pro75 FSR (Offline) World Series. We continued in 2006 in FSR, having 2 teams in the field. Also in 2006, we were approached by Armaroli Simulators Brazil to be the seat holder for Team South Africa in the Armaroli ASRWC WC Series. We agreed. Together with Zaahir Essa and Craig Hattingh, Team South Africa finished 2nd in the ASRWC Series. 2007 saw the best result for the Deltec Racing in FSR with a 4th and 8th place season finish. Hendrich van Rensburg & Riaan vd Westhuizen were amongst the regular drivers. 2008 was the last year Deltec participated in FSR.

2014 & 2015

2014 Deltec joined the prestigious GPVWC League as Deltec Racing Team in the World Sports Series, using the Porsche Flat6 GT cars. It proved a very tough year for us, specially after 6 years of non-competitive racing! Deltec Racing proved they have the focus and mindset to accomplish any task, especially the 24hr Le Mans Event! We finished the magical 300 laps on Le Mans! In 2015 Deltec Racing Team entered into the 2015 Formula Challenge series. This is an exciting year as we have grown from 2014. We also secured the driver services of Denis Mitchell and Adam Ozgur. Both are experienced drivers. Klaidas Vareika was chosen as early reserve driver. Stefan McCready succeeded him as third driver. Stefan was fortunate to be given the opportunity to go to the Superleague in a test driver role. We wish him all the best! Stephane Rouault perform third driver duties.

2016

There is already much talks with new faces and drivers in the GPVWC paddock. Former Supercup champion, Christoph Lichtenstein has joined our 2016 team. Also prominent driver Stephane Rouault and newcomers Francis Gabrera and Niels Vos are part of the 2016 team. Deltec Racing will be amalgamated into Armaroli Racing Team in 2016.
