A FOUNDER’S STORY

FOR THE LOVE
OF DRIVING.

Why I built GTS RS

FROM THE FOUNDER

Built from a
love of driving.

GTS RS is the place I always wanted to build: somewhere to understand the car, work through the details and share the enjoyment of getting better.

Racing with Gulfsport Racing gave me the experience of winning races and putting a pole lap together. I know how much work sits behind the moment it all comes right.

At Relentless Racing, Tommy Erdos taught me to look deeper. Test properly. Understand the setup. Change something because it needs changing, then work through the fine details until the car feels right.

That same care shapes how we work with drivers at GTS RS. We look at the whole package: your driving, the car and the confidence one gives you in the other. I want you to discover more than you thought you were capable of.

I’m still learning, still asking questions and still finding more in my own driving. That pursuit is at the heart of GTS RS.

THE STANDARD WE WORK TO

Build feel.
Keep asking why.

I use references, but the aim is to build feel: understanding grip, balance and how the car responds. Something you can take to another circuit, then adapt to the car beneath you.

I would rather understand one worthwhile change than make five and learn nothing. Repeat the lap. Feel the difference. Know why it helped.

THE FOUNDATION / 2014

A REAL RACE-CAR COCKPIT

A real car.
A place to learn.

GTS RS began with a genuine ex-BTCC Vauxhall chassis and wraparound projection, featured by Bsimracing in 2014.

A place to focus on driving, try again and talk through what happened.
