The GTC championship, launched in SA in 2016, is the country’s premier track racing series and includes the main GTC Championship (GTC1) as well as the second-tier class, GTC2.
VW Motorsport will compete in the two Golf 8 GTIs in GTC1, driven by 2019 GTC champion Keagan Masters and Daniel Rowe, the 2016 GTC2 champion.
The team will also be represented in the SupaCup, which replaces GTC2, by 2016 Driver Search winner and 2017 Polo Cup Rookie winner, Jonathan Mogotsi. Mogotsi will be racing the SupaCup Polo, which is a newly developed car for the second tier class within the GTC Championship. The new car is an exciting addition to local motorsport and produces more than 200kW coupled to a locally developed 6-speed M-Trac Sequential Gearbox.
This year’s GTC series was put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic and it is hoped that motorsport events can resume in August.
