Riaan van der Westhuizen is a South African sim-racer who participated for Deltec Racing Team in the 2014 World Sport Series season.
He also participates in various South African Leagues with Assetto Corsa, Race07, Project Cars and Race Room Experience.
Early Years
Riaan started his career by racing go karts at a early age, very much like Mr. Michael Schumacher. From then onwards, he was hooked onto racing in general! Riaan went on to race Real Life Experience in the MAN Race Trucks Series on Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, amongst other racing commitments. In 2005 Riaan joined the Formula SimRacing League under Deltec Racing Team, where he did 8 (offline) races in the WS Pro75 division. 2006 saw Riaan relocating to another location, thus only able to finish 3 (online) races in the FSR Pro75 Series. 2007 started! Riaan - 'I am extremely excited about 2007! I am motivated and committed to give my best for the Deltec team.' Indeed, 2007 was a bumper year for Riaan, and the 2 Deltec Teams! Together with his driver skills, Deltec Racing finished with a 4th and 8th place in the FSR Series. Riaan also competed in the local SARL league, where he drove the Ford V8 Falcon, F1 1979 as well as Zonda Enduro Series for Le Mans. Also in 2007 Riaan initiated the need to design own liveries for the various cars and teams Deltec Racing are involved in. It started off with a design for the current 2007 FSR Series then. The car was named DSR1. Since then, many designs was completed for various drivers, leagues and even real life racing teams! We then started our own design division Deltec Racing Designs, where Riaan is the Chief Designer.
2014 & 2015
In 2014 he continues in the GPVWC WSS Series, driving the Flat6 Porsches, alongside fellow South African Marius van Wyk. Riaan is a valuable asset to the team and continues to provide his expertise to the team. 2015 Riaan is more actively involved in the skin design process of race cars for the various leagues, while still keeping his hand in online racing in general.
