A reminder of the prize for season 9, we are proud to announce that GT Omega Racing continue to sponsor the TORA GT into Season 9! This season we don't have a discount to give away to the winner, but we have a full race rig to give away instead! That's right, the overall winner of Season 9 of the TORA GTs will be walking away with their own simulation cockpit courtesy of GT Omega Racing.

This prize is currently on offer to all competitors worldwide, however if the winner of the championship resides out with the UK and EU zones then we will discuss shipping details when the time comes. WWR Aero and CMGraphix have been hard at work putting together the new spotters guide together with your help for new features on the website and TORA TV.

National Motorsport Week & TORA

National Motorsport Week is a week-long celebration of UK motor sport, designed to draw public attention to all areas of the sport and ultimately inspire more people to get involved as competitors, volunteers and spectators. The Motor Sports Association teamed up with the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) to breathe new life into the initiative in 2010, when it was moved from its traditional August date to early summer.

Every UK-based Formula 1 and World Rally Championship team got involved, throwing their doors open to the public for exclusive factory tours and other activities. Meanwhile MSA-registered clubs across the country took the sport to the public through car displays and novice taster events, and venues offered special ticket deals.

National Motorsport Week – running from 30 June to 8 July 2012 – is a special celebration of UK motor sport jointly promoted by the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) and the Motor Sports Association (MSA).
