This is TGRMT’s seventh run at the Nurburgring 24H in Nordschleife, but it is the first year the team has raced with the all-new tenth generation Toyota Corolla Altis.
Finishing an endurance race like the Nurburgring 24h is already an achievement (out of 97 cars only 74 finished the raced) but being able to win the class title as well is the ultimate icing on the cake.

The SP3 class, which the TGRMT is in, is basically made up of modified cars with small displacements and no turbos. The modification regulations for the SP3 class allows for many options hence why it is a popular class for teams with smaller budgets.
There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
