Headquartered in Vancouver, True North Motorsport is a Canadian based Simracing team founded by Carter McColman with the help of Karsten van Eijck under the name TCS Off Racing. The team joined GPVWC competition in 2018. The team has competed in Supercup, Superleague Lights, Formula Challenge, Formula Sprint 1, World GT, and the International Touring Cup.


History

Founded in 2018, TCS Off Racing made their GPVWC debut in the International Touring Cup Division 2, finishing as Vice-Champions with 4 wins and 15 podiums. The team officially joined the Career Ladder in 2019 with direct acceptance into SuperCup. Alongside their SuperCup campaign they also joined the World GT and ITC Division 1 grid for 2019. After a mediocre SuperCup debut season, the team was promoted to SuperLeague Lights for 2020 and would find even more difficulties, creating an inconsistent season. For 2021 the team chose to start fresh, drop down the ladder, and compete with a new lineup in Formula Challenge. This move would prove successful, bringing home the teams first championship with a dominant 1-2 in the Drivers Standings. The championship win meant a return to Supercup (now called Formula Sprint 1) was in order for 2022. Continuing to show consistency and speed, TCS became Vice-Champions of Formula Sprint 1. The team will continue to compete in the Formula Sprint 1 category for 2023, debuting an all new lineup.


2018

TCS Off Racing was accepted into the International Touring Cup Division 2, joining the grid with large ambitions. Being a brand new team meant early complications, however they were managed quickly and the ITC season stayed on course. Nate Lupson and Christopher Larson started the season, both completing the first two rounds of the season. After conflicts let them unable to race, the team brought in Bart De Vos and Adam Hodgkinson who saw out the remainder of the season apart from Bart having to miss the round at Brands Hatch. Daniel Hurlock was in as emergency for that race, securing valuable points for the team. The team secured the Vice-Championship, with the battle for the championship coming down to the final round against Frami Autosport. Unfortunately there was a controversial incident that pushed the championship in Frami's favour, however it was a great achievement for a new team to GPVWC.
