Thrills and Spills at Goodwood: Gran Turismo Manufacturers League Drivers Battle the Beastly Circuit! This week, the Gran Turismo Manufacturers League drivers unleashed their Gr.4 machines on the legendary Goodwood Circuit, and it was nothing short of a spectacle!  The low grip, high-speed, old-school track proved to be a formidable foe, with many drivers struggling to keep their cars from turning the lush green grass into their personal playground. Steven Berry, GTSA Admin, was interviewed and said "Last season, a handful of drivers had complained that we were racing the same combination of tracks, each and every season. So for the Manufacturers teams, we decided to switch it up slightly and give them drivers a different challenge to close of their season. Sometimes they must becareful what they wish for, because a lot of what was seen what on and off track action" The grounds staff, usually tasked with maintaining the pristine condition of the circuit, found themselves on a...

  In our Second feature, It is our pleasure to introduce, Team Cape Advanced Vehicle Racing. In 2023, a newly formed team emerged from the shadows of larger groups, breaking away to carve out their own identity. They initially rebranded themselves as the DRP team, but soon found themselves at a crossroads, unsure of their next move. Just when things seemed uncertain, a beacon of hope appeared in the form of a sponsorship opportunity with Cape Advanced Vehicles.  Embracing this new partnership, the team underwent another transformation, rebranding themselves as the eSports Sim Racing division - CAV-Racing.  With renewed vigor and a clear direction, they set out to make their mark in the Sim Racing world. CAV-Racing was born from the shared vision of Andrew van Niekerk (CAV-R_Hollywood) and Steven Hurley (CAV-R_Swev), who not only founded the team but also took on the roles of its dedicated admins.  Their dream was to create a team that excelled in both local and inte...

The Gran Turismo Nations League roared into action this week, and it was nothing short of a high-octane spectacle.  Drivers faced the legendary Dragon Trail Seaside circuit, with its infamous Bus Stop chicane ready to test their mettle.  In their sleek Porsche 911 GT3 Road Cars, some navigated the treacherous turns with finesse, emerging unscathed and victorious.  But for others, the walls proved unforgiving, leaving their mark on both the track and their pride.  Post-race, a visit to CarTease Auto was inevitable for those in need of spare body panels and parts, as the battle scars of the race were all too evident, while others had written off their cars completely and were found outside the circuits entrance, taking the last bus home.  It was a week of triumph and tribulation, where the line between glory and disaster was razor-thin! 🏁🚗💥 Despite the chaos, the track was alive with electrifying close racing action!  The paddock buzzed with energy as driv...

  The engines roar to life as the  Gran Turismo drivers  prepare to face their fiercest challenge yet:  The Dragon’s Trail ! 🐉🔥 In this high-octane showdown, only the bravest and most skilled will conquer the twists, turns, and treacherous terrain of this legendary track. The stakes are sky-high, and the competition is fierce. Will the reigning champions defend their titles, or will new legends rise from the asphalt? The drivers have been prepping the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 2022 cars for this race, and while a very balanced car, is far from stable as its Race Car Big Brother. With less aero dynamic additions, and a less stiff suspension, these car will prove very tricky at the hands of the inexperienced, but also feel as tricky over kerbs, as the drivers try thread it through the S-Bends and Bus stop chicanes. One benefit our Gran Turismo Nations League drivers were given by the admin team, was an allocation of Racing Tyres for the race, which were fortunately in exces...
