GTR24h 2017 10 Year Anniversary Intro Video

October 2, 2017 By Peter Munkholm In GTR24H No Comments

With two years in the making and more than 200 man hours of research, editing and image manipulation, this video was originally planned to air at the 10th GTR24 back in 2015. A lack of material and ambition of making something that would truly honour the participants in this decade-long endeavour kept postponing the premiere of this video.

Please be sure your quality setting is set to 1080p60fps, turn down the lights, turn up the volume, set your view to full screen and enjoy a piece of GTR24h history and racing atmosphere.

Here is your presentation video for the 2017 GTR24h – Endurance eRacing World Championship

Thank you for your patience, and see you ate the event.

About The Author

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!
