Simracing is meant to be fun!
The team slogan represents how we view simracing: when it stops being fun, it stops being part of our team. Things we consider fun: fair-play, being a good sport (whether you win or not), supporting each other, "realistic" racing. Things we don't consider fun: cheating (like cutting corners, or any violation of the rules of the league you're in), racing because you "must" win, unsportsman-like conduct, oh, and did we mention cheating? 

 
The beginning
In the beginning there was one Arthur Barhorst, simracer and Formula 1 fan. On July 19th, 1996 he came in possession of the grand-daddy of all Formula 1 games: Grand Prix 2 (otherwise known as GP2). After playing around with this great game for a little while, he discovered that people from all over the world were participating in simracing leagues on the Internet, using this very game. He decided to start his own simracing team, then called Gateway-Porsche, to participate in the GP2Racing League and the "On The Edge"-League. 
Jordan GP2
In 1997, Arthur was astonished by the Jordan 197, the snake-nosed Formula 1 contender of the Jordan Grand Prix team. He even played Grand Prix Manager as Eddie Jordan. Arthur decided it would be a good idea to rename his team. So on November 12th, 1997, the Jordan GP2 simracing team was founded as a tribute to both the dedication of a real-life Formula 1 team and the great game that simulates this on the computer. The team grew quickly from its initial one man line-up. Arthur himself stepped down as team manager on July 24th, 1998, with driver Richard Hasselt taking over. Richard decided to continue the quest to take the team to the top of the simracing scene. 
Successes
The first succes came soon after, when Canadian Mike Rocheleau became 1998 world champion F3 in the GP2 Championship, and, together with his Lebanese teammate Rabih Habchy also brought home the constructors championship in that class.
With a larger line-up, the team returned to contend the 1999 championship. Excellent driving by the entire team resulted in a remarkable number of Grand Prix wins and even more podium finishes. The end result were no less than 3 world championships: the F3000 constructors championship, the F3 constructors championship and the first-ever Overall Team Championship. 
QuickSilver simracing team
Near the end of the 1999 season, the Jordan GP2 team was approached by its real-life counterpart Jordan Grand Prix with a strict demand to cancel the team website because it was too similar to Jordan's own. Richard Hasselt, with the help of Herko ter Horst, countered with a proposal to cooperate and give the simracing team a somewhat official status. While things looked good early on in the negotiations, the Jordan Grand Prix team eventually dropped out of touch, leaving the simracing team with a website it couldn't use. Richard and Herko were prepared for this contigency, however. They decided to transform the Jordan GP2 team into a brand new - but still the same - allround simracing team. The team needed a name that emphasized speed and elegance, without any references to real-life racing teams or a particular flavor of motorracing. After some thought Richard and Herko settled on the name QuickSilver simracing team, which was officially launched on July 1, 2000. Richard stayed in charge of the team, while Herko was appointed assistant-manager and public relations officer.
