Fallout

GPVWC Masters Series

Aquarius Racing

Upon the announcement of the GPVWC Masters Series, Cullen decided he would race for his own single-team entry, Aquarius Racing. He missed the opening around at Laguna Seca due to other commitments before making his Masters debut at Monza. A strong run in Race One saw him miss out on his first ever podium before the mixed fortunes from the reverse grid in Race Two would only see him finish seventh.

MMC Racing

After Monza, the Philip spoke at length with Ryan McConkey. The American offered Cullen a slot with MMC Racing to add a third car to MMC Racing to take the fight to Constant Racing. The move immediately paid dividends with a first career podium at Surfers Paradise. Along with McConkey and Adam Rouse, MMC Racing quickly became a dominant force in the Masters Series.

Philip would go on to score career highs in the inaugural season. The race meeting at Cadwell Park would see the Irishman score his first ever sim-racing victory after a duel with team-mate Rouse. His season would end on the highest note, as he dominated the challenging Mount Panorama Circuit, sweeping the event.

Cullen would finish runner-up in the championship after competing in eight of the nine race meetings. MMC Racing dominated the Constructors standings, almost doubling the points total of Constant Racing in second.
