History
TTR is the vision of Madison Down and other original team members in 2009. A racing group built around getting the fastest and fairest sim racing drivers from both Australia and New Zealand together in one place, to give the opposition one hell of a fight.
The team originally was a group of “AU/NZ Crowd” that just loved racing against each other on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. That then merged into a team (Southern Cross Racing) in June 2009. Later that year, we changed the name to Trans Tasman Racing.
TTR uses iRacing.com on PC as their primary simulation, however the team also has a strong track record in other simulations such as Gran Turismo and rFactor. The team has had a great deal of success in GT Academy as well with four drivers making it to the National Finals in Australia and New Zealand and two of those four making it to Silverstone with Tony Autridge in 2010 and Josh Muggleton in 2014.
The Team predominantly enters the V8 Supercar Online Premier Series based in Australia and is widely known as one of the Top Teams in that particular Series with Several Championship wins and countless race wins. Madison Down won the title in 2016 and Jarrad Filsell in 2017 and 2018 (Also won in 2015 but under ANZ Motorsports).
Trans Tasman Racing also competed on the world stage in the VRS GT iRacing World Championship in a Ferrari 488 GT3. The car was driven by Madison Down, Jarrad Filsell, Jake Burton and Shaun Kelly.
