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.

For the 2014 season Terence wanted to race a Full season in one of the GPVWC career ladder series.

Marius van Wyk is a South African sim-racer who participates for Deltec Racing Team in the 2014 World Sport Series season. He is also team manager for the Deltec Racing Team, who participates in various online leagues.

Early Years

Marius started simracing in 2005 after buying a Logitech Wingman wheel. "It was the best money ever spent!" He went on to compete in 2006 in the FSR Pro75 (offline) World Series, where he finished second in the Series. "I learned a lot to finish so high after only started 1 year with racing online with a steering wheel' i hope to improve more!' Marius continued in FSR until 2008. During this time he founded Deltec Racing Team, named after his own PC computer business. Deltec Computers was the main sponsors at the time.

During 2006, Marius was approached by Armaroli Simulators in Brazil, to afford the opportunity to be seat holder for Team South Africa in the online ASRWC Series.Together with drivers Zaahir Essa and Craig Hattingh, Team South Africa finished 2nd in the ASRWC Series. 2007 recorded the best result for Deltec Racing in FSR with a 4th and 8th place season finish. Hendrich van Rensburg & Riaan van der Westhuizen were amongst the drivers. 2008 was the final year Deltec Racing participated in the FSR League.

2014 & 2015

in 2014 we fired up the engines and joined the prestigious GPVWC League, competing in the 2014 World Sport Series. We entered as Deltec Racing Team, with Marius as Team Manager. During the 24hr Le Mans Series Race, Deltec Racing proved they have the focus and mindset to accomplish any task. Although Deltec finished in last position, they completed the magical 300 laps benchmark. Regular drivers for the year included Riaan van der Westhuizen & veteran racer Ken Hunter. In 2015 Deltec Racing Team entered into the 2015 Formula Challenge series. This is an exciting year as we have grown from 2014. We also secured the driver services of Denis Mitchell and Adam Ozgur. Stephane Rouault replaces Denis Mitchell from the Belgian Grand Prix onwards, for the remainder of the season. Reserve drivers included Klaidas Vareika and Stefan McCready. Niels Vos resumes the latest reserve driver duties, whilst Michael Barnard resumes emergency driver duties.
