In this instalment of the Meet The Team series, we get to know a team that is very active not only in the virtual space, but also within many of the Western Cape Malls and surrounds, with their pop up Sim Racing experiences catering to various communities in their goal to make Sim Racing more accessible to all. We introduce to you, Team Purple Sector Racing/Experience. Once upon a time, in the enchanting city of Cape Town, four young adventurers embarked on a digital odyssey. These brave souls, each a master of the virtual racetrack, found themselves locked in fierce competition in the world of Sim Racing. Their battleground was the exhilarating realm of Gran Turismo 7, where they raced not just for glory, but for the sheer thrill of the chase. Fate, with its mysterious ways, brought them together on the vast plains of PlayStation Network. After countless races and epic duels, they decided to extend a virtual hand of friendship. To their astonishment, they discovered that they all live...

  In our latest instalment of the Meet the Team series, we get to learn a little bit more about a team that has been leaving alot of rubber on track of late with some seriously quick drivers. We introduce to you, the Smokin' Bandits Racing team (SBR). Founded in 2023, the Smokin’ Bandits Racing team, or SBR, has quickly become a force to be reckoned with in the sim racing world. This relatively new team emerged from the rich heritage of drivers who previously competed under various banners, including the renowned Kalahari Boys Racing (KBR) and FBR, as well as solo racers seeking a united front. With a roster of 11 talented and dedicated members, SBR has made a significant impact in a short amount of time. These drivers have showcased their skills and determination in local competitions, particularly in the  Gran Turismo South Africa  and  Logistical Nightmares Racing  leagues. Despite their brief tenure, they have already achieved some truly impressive race resu...

🏆   Tonight is the Night. 🏆 The stage is set. All the practice and hard work has been put in. The race is on. And at the end of it all. . . There can only be one, Gran Turismo South African Champion! Your top 15 drivers from this season's Gran Turismo South Africa League are battling it out, head to head, tonight in the Showdown series which is set to be of cataclysmic proportions! 3 races, different cars, with only 1 Champion being crowned at the end of it all. All the drivers have been putting in the final preparations for the races this evening, which will host a mixed bag of conditions that will prove to provide some predictable and hopefully unpredictable outcomes, which we hope will help the cream of the crop, shine out from the rest. This season is coming to an end, but not until one driver, writes their name into GTSA history. The first of the 3 races, the drivers find themselves tackling a BMW M3 around the tricky tarmac of the Autodrome Lago Maggiore. A short sprint whi...
