This is a story on how to exploit GTR24H, inject your content on their website and force them to send attention to your team and drivers.

And the weird part is, they will actually allow it, and in fact, they will even encourage it!

In January 2020 eTeam BRIT exploited the GTR24H platform to submit an article on their entry in the EEWC. In a week the article was displayed on screens 2,100 times and read by 1,000 users. It was shared 36 times on Facebook and seen by 1,675 people of which 762 engaged with the post. It got emailed through their newsletters to all subscribers as well as 600 sports and esport journalists and editors. In September and October last year articles from DanishSimRacers, ID Simsport and Asetek Esports Academy enjoyed the same attention by doing the exact same thing!

The fact that only four teams have ever used this option, must mean that GTR24H is not aware of this giant exploit option on their platform. And you might want to hurry up and use it, before they close it, or put it behind a paywall.

Can you believe it? They will even let you link to your websites, social media pages, youtube videos, live streams, everything!

If you are a participating team or team member, log in on the website and look in the many for the “Team Section”. Here you will find links to the page that allows you to take over the news section of the webpage and exploit the GTR24H newsletter emails.

EDIT: No stop it! We just tested it, and it now allows everyone to post sporting news, as long as they have an active user profile on the site.

The page goes under the name “Submit Article”! Here is a link to the page as well https://gtr24h.org/team-section/submit-article

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!
