Terence Grech began sim-racing in 2007 offline with rFactor. It wasn't long before he was hooked and started racing competitively for an amature American F1 league. Terence completed two seasons with the league achieving several wins along with many podiums. Terence then decided it was time for a bigger challenge and a more professional league. He had an enjoyable time in the GPO league before discovering there was a Maltese championship named Virtual Racing Malta, joining the league for the last three races of the 2009-2010 season. Terence went on to win the 2010-2011 championship by a mere 2 points whilst also competing for Rice Racing in GPO grabbing 2 podiums and good points.
