After the pre-season test shortly before the start of the [[2009 Superleague season|2009]] Superleague season, Stanton acquired a test driver position at [[Evans Blue Racing]], standing in for [[Jyri Lylykorpi]]. |

At the following race however, he redeemed himself with a podium finish, taking third place behind Joe Consiglio and [[Mark Wicks]]. For the third race in [[2009 Japanese Grand Prix|Suzuka]], Lylykorpi had returned and Stanton was left without his seat, but with a desire to race. He spoke to league Administrator [[William Ponissi]] and it was agreed that Stanton could race in the clearly absent [[R4 Engineering]] car. |
Following Suzuka, the R4 Engineering team was withdrawn from the series, which opened the doors for Stanton and Consiglio to create [[Constant Racing]], an idea they had discussed months earlier. The new team acquired R4's Renault engines, Stanton designed the striking red and white livery and, joined by American [[Ryan McConkey]], they debuted at the [[2009 French Grand Prix|French Grand Prix]] in Charade. | Following Suzuka, the R4 Engineering team was withdrawn from the series, which opened the doors for Stanton and Consiglio to create [[Constant Racing]], an idea they had discussed months earlier.

After a rough start to the season, filled with accidents, disconnections and computer issues, Stanton went on to achieve tenth in the final drivers standings. Stanton was joined for the entire season by team-mate and league administrator William Ponissi and the pair competed for points throughout the season, with Ponissi finishing only a handful of points behind Stanton. During the 2010 season, Stanton invested in a Logitech G25 steering wheel, which he has set to an unusually high 720 degrees of rotation. |

The final design was adapted through a number of changes before all three members of the team (Stanton, Ponissi and Consiglio) agreed that it was finished. Stanton has also designed liveries, logo's and helmets for a many teams and drivers in the league, most notably [[Red Archer]], whose car Stanton has designed both years since they were founded in 2010. |

+ | The [[2011 Superleague season]] was a tough year for Stanton due to increased pace from the competition, lacking development work, unstable line up and general bad luck. Early season results showed promise after Stanton missed out on pole position at the [[2011 Chinese Grand Prix|Chinese Grand Prix]] by just 0.039 seconds to [[Jason Muscat]]. Stanton eventually finished fifth in the race, which stood as his best qualifying and race result of the season, while also achieving his first fastest lap in a race. | ||
− | + | After a steady string of points, Stanton began to suffer from disconnections and accidents, and in the second half of the year he was plagued by five retirements in six races in a mix of disconnects, accidents and a gearbox failure. These retirements included [[2011 Canadian Grand Prix|Canada]] and [[2011 Italian Grand Prix|Italy]], where Stanton has had good results in races and tests in the past. | |

This side series featured BMW 320i touring cars and proved popular among drivers for it's close racing and mixed results due to it's 2 race, reversed starting grid format. Stanton entered [[Constant Racing]] into the series and was joined by [[Richard Bayes]] and co-owner Consiglio, who at the time was unsure about racing touring cars. Bayes stayed with the team until round five, when he left the series. He was replaced by Stanton's brother, David. The team ultimately finished second in the constructors championship behind the dominant [[MMC Racing]]. Stanton finished fifth in the drivers championship and was the only driver to compete in all 18 races. | ||

Mark Stanton is an English sim-racing driver currently driving for Constant Racing in the GPVWC Superleague. Stanton has competed in the GPVWC since 2009 and is co-owner of Constant Racing with Joe Consiglio. Stanton has achieving a career two podium finishes in the Superleague, his last coming at the Canadian Grand Prix in 2010 when he finished in third position. He is the younger brother of David Stanton.
Contents
Early Sim-Racing Career
Stanton had an interest in motorsports from a young age and began pc based sim racing on the Codemasters BTCC game TOCA Touring Cars with his older brother David Stanton. Stanton would drive using the keyboard until in 1997 when he began to race using the Microsoft ForceFeedback wheel on the highly realistic, critically acclaimed Grand Prix Legends, a simulator based on the 1967 Formula 1 season.
Over the years he moved onto console based simulators such as Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsports, the former of which he played upon first meeting his friend and fellow Constant Racing co-owner Joe Consiglio in 2006. Stanton lost the races.
Some of Stanton's first experiences of online, PC based sim-racing was on the independently developed Live For Speed, where he focused more on drifting instead of circuit racing.
Superleague
2009
In late 2008, Stanton was introduced to GPVWC and rFactor by Consiglio, leading to Stanton starting his online sim-racing career. After the pre-season test shortly before the start of the 2009 Superleague season, Stanton acquired a test driver position at Evans Blue Racing, standing in for Jyri Lylykorpi.
At his first race in the 2009 Australian Grand Prix Stanton showed a promising start, working his way up to sixth place, before a heavy crash at turns ten and 11. At the following race however, he redeemed himself with a podium finish, taking third place behind Joe Consiglio and Mark Wicks. For the third race in Suzuka, Lylykorpi had returned and Stanton was left without his seat, but with a desire to race. He spoke to league Administrator William Ponissi and it was agreed that Stanton could race in the clearly absent R4 Engineering car.
Following Suzuka, the R4 Engineering team was withdrawn from the series, which opened the doors for Stanton and Consiglio to create Constant Racing, an idea they had discussed months earlier. The new team acquired R4's Renault engines, Stanton designed the striking red and white livery and, joined by American Ryan McConkey, they debuted at the French Grand Prix in Charade.
Stanton competed in nine races for his new team in the 2009, handing his seat to Italian driver William Ponissi at the Canadian Grand Prix.
2010
Stanton returned in the 2010 Superleague season with the new CR-SL10, retaining the Renault engine for a second year. After a rough start to the season, filled with accidents, disconnections and computer issues, Stanton went on to achieve tenth in the final drivers standings. Stanton was joined for the entire season by team-mate and league administrator William Ponissi and the pair competed for points throughout the season, with Ponissi finishing only a handful of points behind Stanton. During the 2010 season, Stanton invested in a Logitech G25 steering wheel, which he has set to an unusually high 720 degrees of rotation.
Leading up to the season start, Stanton spent a lot of time designing the new livery. The final design was adapted through a number of changes before all three members of the team (Stanton, Ponissi and Consiglio) agreed that it was finished. Stanton has also designed liveries, logo's and helmets for a many teams and drivers in the league, most notably Red Archer, whose car Stanton has designed both years since they were founded in 2010.
2011
The 2011 Superleague season was a tough year for Stanton due to increased pace from the competition, lacking development work, unstable line up and general bad luck. Early season results showed promise after Stanton missed out on pole position at the Chinese Grand Prix by just 0.039 seconds to Jason Muscat. Stanton eventually finished fifth in the race, which stood as his best qualifying and race result of the season, while also achieving his first fastest lap in a race.
After a steady string of points, Stanton began to suffer from disconnections and accidents, and in the second half of the year he was plagued by five retirements in six races in a mix of disconnects, accidents and a gearbox failure. These retirements included Canada and Italy, where Stanton has had good results in races and tests in the past.
Stanton scored some valuable points in the last quarter of the season, bringing his final points position to 12th with 32 points. Although this is his worst points finishing position, he equaled his most points in a season.

Masters Series
2009
During the summer break in 2009, the Masters Series was introduced. This side series featured BMW 320i touring cars and proved popular among drivers for it's close racing and mixed results due to it's 2 race, reversed starting grid format. Stanton entered Constant Racing into the series and was joined by Richard Bayes and co-owner Consiglio, who at the time was unsure about racing touring cars. Bayes stayed with the team until round five, when he left the series. He was replaced by Stanton's brother, David. The team ultimately finished second in the constructors championship behind the dominant MMC Racing. Stanton finished fifth in the drivers championship and was the only driver to compete in all 18 races.
