First 2017 partner announced: AMD

September 26, 2017 By Peter Munkholm In GTR24H No Comments

AMD has a tagline that goes:

“Enabling today. Inspiring tomorrow.”

We think that describes both our brands, and together with the history of AMD who is always challenging the big rivals and the arrival of the new awesome AMD Ryzen processer, we think this is a match made in heaven.

The Ryzen processor is your new go-to processor when it comes to multitasking. So if you want to both race your sim with high FPS, stream to Twitch and Youtube, run your Teamspeak, Discord, telemetry software and several browser windows at the same time. The Ryzen processor range will give you the ultimate value for money.

AMD is providing us with several Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics cards for the prize pool.

Peter Munkholm

When John Nielsen won Le Mans 24-Hours in 1990, Peter was hooked with motorsports. He started sim racing on his uncles PC with Formula One Grand Prix by Geoff Crammond in 1992. Then progressed through IndyCar Simulator and IndyCar Simulator 2 on his Amiga 500+. When he bought his own PC in 1994 and a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro Joystick he was already deeply in love with sim racing. His first skirmish with light modding was a Pernod Anis blue, white, and red skin for IndyCar Racing 2. He was hooked! But sim racing really kicked off for Peter with Sports Car GT in 1999. And with internet access and what felt like an ocean of mods. Sports Car GT and the F1 simulators with endurance racing mods swallowed most of his spare time. Then the GTR mod for F1 2003 arrived on the scene, from some Swedish dudes who called themselves SIMBIN. That would change everything! Right about then was also when Logitech steering wheels reach a state of useful. So when the GTR game officially released Peter bought a Formula Force GP wheel the same day, went home and founded the Danish Grand Touring League (DGTL). In 2006 the first LAN event was held. This became GTR24H in 2007. As they say. The rest is history!
