Rihards Sprogis - F1 Coach

Rihards Sprogis's simracing journey started when he was 14. It all started when his dad gave him a Thrustmaster T300 racing wheel as a present for his birthday. This moment was the beginning of his professional esports career. 

He instantly realized that he was special. From the very start he knew that he could go pro in this scene. Now in his third year in the community, Rihards has spent the past few years improving his skills and becoming better in every aspect of the game.

His first seasons were very challenging for him, but they taught him valuable lessons. His stubbornness paid off when he managed to get a spot in PSGL, where he was placed in the F5 tier where he dominated. His amazing performance caught the attention of many promising teams inside the community, and his dream of becoming an F1 esports driver was becoming closer by the day.

Joining the FVR team was another important milestone to his journey. FVR played a key role in forming Rihards into the driver he is today, they provided useful support and well needed resources to help him improve as a simracer.

Rihards's success in multiple events and league races made him gain more supporters wanting to help him. Among these supporters was Bart Jr. Vandecasteele, a crucial person in Rihards's journey. Bart gave him top tier opportunities, for which Rihards is very grateful for to this day.

Despite great results in the F4 tier of PSGL. Rihards wasn’t fully satisfied. He aimed higher and got promoted to F3, where he discovered that his mentality needed massive improvement. In the last months of F1 23 game cycle, Rihards tried out WOR Tier 2 PC, where he achieved impressive results and found a new level of calm and confidence.

Today, Rihards Sprogis is an outstanding driver and coach who already showed his abilities on the track in the highest tiers of league racing. His journey from a young enthusiast who only played racing games with friends to a promising simracing driver with connections and results in the entire community is proof of his sheer dedication and talent.
