About the SSMD Group

SSMDG Gran Turismo Championship

The history of SSMD Group Gran Turismo Championship dated back to 2009, the Gran Turismo 5 era,
where 14 drivers battle out various championships for two years.
However, as many of the drivers started their families, the racing had put to a pause.

Fast forward to August 2018, when the founder of the championship,
Franco Wong and Bem Ho connected again and gathered the drivers to launch
the SSMD Group Gran Turismo Championship. The championship started with nine drivers
to now 32 drivers and still growing.

Each season has a different Championship theme, from Touring Car Race, Japanese Performance,
Cayman Cup, Integra Cup, GT4 Championship, MX-5 Cup, JDM 280 Battle, John Cooper Cup, Porsche Sports Cup and Civic Cup races.

Each season has six rounds, and we race one round of three races every fortnight.
There is a qualifying race to fight for the final 16 grid slots.

Since we have different levels of drivers, we rank each driver in SSMDG Driver's Level in

Gold, Silver, Bronze, Green, Blue and Dark Blue according to their experience in

Gran Turismo and Average Score per Attended Race (ASPAR) in SSMDG Gran Turismo Championship.

According to the Lap Analysis after each race, we will apply a unique Balance of Performance system to further close in the racing field for closer racing. Furthermore, to ensure the race is fair for everyone,

we apply SSMD Group Race Rules in the race to cover the ones missed by the Gran Turismo AI system.

It is great to see the championship growing by the month,
and we look forward to seeing more friends joining us.

Lastly, we would like to say THANK YOU to our Championship sponsors.
