GTSA Times

  The legendary Gran Turismo 7 South Africa Race League, the original and premier GT racing league in the country, has just wrapped up its electrifying American leg at the iconic Willow Springs Raceway.

Post submitted by Mike Lowry The narrow, high-speed circuit pushed competitors to their absolute limits. With tire grip fading and track temperatures soaring, every corner became a test of bravery and precision. Across all pools, the racing was nothing short of breath-taking. There were heart-stopping overtakes, dramatic spins, and edge-of-your-seat moments that left fans gasping and commentators scrambling for superlatives. As the mid-season break looms, drivers were clearly hungry to make their mark. This was their last chance to build momentum and secure crucial points before the season's halfway pause. And...

  The Gran Turismo South Africa (GTSA) Season 2 of 2025 has just thundered through Round 5 at the iconic Fuji International Speedway in Japan, and what a spectacle it was. Torrential rain turned the circuit into a battleground, testing the mettle of every driver as they wrestled their GT3 machines through sheets of water and near-zero visibility. It was a race that demanded absolute focus, razor-sharp reflexes, and nerves of steel. One Driver, seemed to have had further advantage, finding all the grip hacks, and making, arguably the Overtake of the Year, with his last lap move, around the outside of 2 drivers, to claim 4th position at the line, in Pool 1. Despite the treacherous conditions, the race was surprisingly clean. Few incidents were reported, much to the delight of the stewards.  Veteran driver P9BR_PumpkinPatch summed it up best: “It’s strange. The crazier the race settings, the fewer the incidents. But as soon as racing takes place in more favourable conditions, the...

And just like that,  Week 3  of the  Gran Turismo 7 South Africa Season  has roared to a close — but not without leaving a trail of tire smoke, shattered egos, and unforgettable moments in its wake. This week, our fearless drivers were thrown into the deep end of one of the most chaotic and exhilarating race combos in recent memory — a  Steven Berry Special  that will be whispered about in paddocks for seasons to come. A triple-threat gauntlet that tested every ounce of skill, nerve, and adaptability our racers could muster. From the  precision tarmac ballet  of  Watkins Glen , to the  dust-choked chaos  of  Fisherman’s Ranch , and finally to the  icy grip of Lake Louise , drivers were forced to master every terrain Gran Turismo 7 could throw at them. Rally cars were the weapon of choice, but the real battle was between man, machine, and the merciless elements. But amidst the high-octane action, one unexpected contender st...

The engines have barely cooled, but the adrenaline is still surging. The Gran Turismo South Africa 2025 Racing League has exploded into Season 2 with a thunderous double-header that left drivers breathless and fans on the edge of their seats. What was expected to be a smooth start turned into a brutal awakening, as the first two races delivered chaos, carnage, and championship-shaking drama. Race 1 Race 2 This week, the battleground was none other than the legendary Dragon Trail Seaside Circuit in Croatia. A 24-lap showdown awaited, where GT3 beasts were unleashed in a high-speed ballet of precision and power. But beneath the beauty of the coastal track lurked a monster that has haunted even the most seasoned veterans — the infamous Death Chicane, also known as the Bus Stop. This deceptively simple section has earned its name in blood and carbon fiber. Approached at blistering speeds, it demands perfection. One misstep, one inch too wide, and the barriers bite back with unforgiving for...
