CQR Club is proud to announce our partnership with Race Hub at Brands Hatch, who will be fully funding our entry in iRacing BSRTC Pro Series Season 3. We will also be launching our CQR Academy team too.

We will be entering a works CQR Team that is proudly sponsored by The Race Hub. This will be a fully funded season and wont cost the drivers a penny, they will also be paid to race and represent Team Race Hub with CQR.

Our Ashley's prize for winning the 2015 Renault Clio Cup was a test drive in Renault's RS.01 sportscar - here's some onboard video from Vallelunga in Italy today (on Ash's birthday too, what a birthday present!)

He was certainly giving it full beans! Enjoy!

As CQR Club prepares for another season of racing, we take a quick look back at the origins of the club and the highlights from 2012.

Close Quarters Racing Club (or ‘CQR’ for short) was founded in June 2011, but the origins of the club date back to 2008, where many of our members raced together as WWR (Wire-to-Wire Racing) on Forza Motorsport 2. Even after WWR disbanded as a team, many of the former members kept in touch and continued to race together, and so with rumours...

It was a great first full season at TORA for Close Quarters Racing, with 2 teams titles (TCC & GT), 1 drivers title (TCC) and 24 wins, from 10 drivers in 9 different cars - congratulations to everyone!

To celebrate CQR Bulldogs Teams Championship Win, here's 5 minutes of racing action from TORA GT Season 9 - with clips from just about every round, if you've been in the A lobby at any point, you're probably in this video somewhere
