A well crafted season to date presents Harrison with the opportunity to place inside the top 20 at seasons end giving the WK&P SimSports driver an opportunity to be a part of the 2023 Logitech G Pro Invitational series.

Results this season haven’t been spectacular for Dengate, but have been extremely consistent. An opening account of 29th at Phillip Island was followed up by finishes of 19th & 20th at both Hockenheim & Sandown.

We sat down with Harrison to discuss his season to date.

Thank you for taking the time to speak to us Harrison. Your season to date has been really consistent. Has your preparation played a major part in that?

“I believe that it certainly has, when racing in a series like this which has a mix of everything, preparation is absolutely key to anyone’s success. Changing track conditions, higher and lower temperatures and different track characteristics mean that seat time and experience are the main advantages for the series and is something I’ve been working on over the last month or so”

What do you think it is going to take for you to jump into the top 20 in the final round at Bathurst ?

“Bathurst has always been a headache for drivers all throughout Australian Sim Racing. Getting yourself to a fast pace will get you somewhere in the Qualifying, but having the setup behind you can and will take you further in a race. Bathurst can also be a very challenging track on concentration so avoiding any mistakes as well as the mistakes of others, will help me break the 20”

How do you find it at WK&P SimSports? Being one of the smaller teams in the field, do you feel like it has an effect on how each round plays out?

“WK&P SimSports is such a great team to be at currently. Although we are one of, if not the smallest team entered in the Qualifying Series, I feel that we are constantly punching above our weight and making great strides to compete with the likes of Synergy Sim Racing and 9Five. Yes, we may not have the same setup knowledge as others and yes, it does have a slight impact on our performance in some rounds but Blake Worboys as our setup Guru and Jon Van Ree as our mentor have helped everyone overcome our weaknesses to other teams and improve our race performance”

Finally, what would it mean to you to make it into the 2023 Logitech G Pro Invitational Series?

“Honestly, it would mean the world to not just me, but everyone throughout the team to see not just 1 of our drivers in the Pro Series but 2 of us in there. You never realise how far you’ve truly come until you reach a point like this. I know that I have the backing of the team, my family and especially my Nan and Pop who have watched me for nearly 4 years. My motivation is high and my determination is even higher to make sure that I secure a top 20 spot, at all cost”

Well thanks for your time Harrison, we wish you all the best for the final round of the championship along with your quest to finish in a transfer position.
