Fox & Goose Racing

Racing team in UR2D founded by Canadian co-owners: Gay\_mOnGoose & foxofthemoon. Team was founded on April 17, 2021 in season 4. They run in the family of teams in Fox & Goose Racing Ltd. which also includes the sister team Vulpe E Oca (VEO)

***Debut – Season 4***

Prospective driver/investor Gay\_mOnGoose submitted to join the Sunday League just 2 weeks before the start of the season, and soon found past business partner foxofthemoon to join in his venture to fund the project. Just a hobby driver, Fox joined the racing team to support Goose's endeavour – but stated that he never had intention of remaining in the league – but would just race until a full-time driver was signed to replace him and would focus on the financial side of the company.

Making its debut May 2, 2021 at the Spanish GP where the drivers finished 11th and 12th respectively, FGR beat only free agent drivers not on official teams. The FGR 1.0 engine from Goose, managed to out-qualify Infiniteverse Racing Team driver Mascabrevas though – giving hope to the fledgling team that the debut season may not just be full of last-place finishes.

**VEO – sister team founded – Yoha & Scip era**

After FGR's shown commitment to the league, owners were granted a sister team **Vulpe e Oca (VEO)** to debut in week 4 of the season, in which the Fox & Goose duo moved to – as they found talented drivers to advance their performance in FGR. **Yoha & Scip,** who were seen in Friday League showing great performances, now raced alongside VEO; the first junior team since **Leviosso Talenti Emergenti** debuted with Leviosso Sports Art.

**Nuno: Replacement, podium & signing**

Week 7 & 8 saw the absences of Yoha & Scip & due to unbound team regulations at the time, VEO were not required to move up both Fox & Goose to drive for a “#1 team”. Newly signed rookie Blue Blizzard driver Nuno Pinto was signed to race alongside Gay\_mOnGoose for FGR due to his impressive performance for Flow Force the week before in Hungary (P7). He managed a career first podium & 2nd place finish at SPA and a unique way for FGR to card its first podium in history. *note:* *Nuno would never drive for the team that signed him (BBZ) as he was needed by full-time teams for each of his 3 contracted races.*

Nuno would card a top 5 for FGR in Italy to end the season for FGR and the team finished in 5th place out of 9 teams with 89 points. Fox also scored a career best 11th place finish - and has never placed in a top 10 in Sunday League, a record.

**Season 5 – Nuno's drive for the Title**

Yoha retreated to temporary driving in the off-season and Goose signed Rookie of the year Nuno to a 2 season deal alongside a 1 season deal with Scip who was interested in starting his own venture next season and VEO was instated as the direct reserve line for FGR in accordance with new feeder-team rules.

Scip had some reliability issues and Goose made several showings for the team but it was Nuno who shined posting up 10/10 top finishes on the season. 2 wins, 7 podiums and 177 pts clinched the Driver's Championship for the FGR drivers first full season in the SL. Flow Force's nomscar was on pace to win it with 4 victories in 8 races, but missed 2 events.

**Off-Season**

Mobile-only racer DaromasGames was approached by FGR to join the team when he was able to race online and has been a close contact with the team up until the start of the next season, but he was not ready to join, so the hunt was on for a #2 that would be good enough to keep the new champion around.

**Season 6 – Demonkin Joins Nuno's WCC Double title push**

With **Scip** of to re-brand HPF as **Russo-British Racing** with **Vlad**, FGR needed a new #2 driver & **Demo** was just given the license to independently own **BBZ** from A**nti** – giving the Season 5 Rookie of the Year winner a chance to own his own team, with Opalon (then M. Raghunathan) as teammate.

Goose approached the young rising star about a possible merge so that he could race with Nuno and push for a title, whilst bringing in M. Andries to replace the **BBZ** Gap. FIA regulations proved tricky to have a 3-team company in the league and Demonkin chose competition over enterprise and gave the team back to Anti so he could join FGR and Nuno for season 6.

**Nuno** started the year with 4 straight wins, tying a league record, only falling to **nomscar** in Monaco in race 5, and **Demonkin** owned 2 poles, with 2 podiums in the first half of the year – on pace to win the double title as of the half way point of the year.

**Nuno** was re-signed for season 7 at the mid season window – but if **Demonkin** re-joins in the off-season it is uncertain if **Daromas** will want to join **VEO**, a junior team.
