Terence Grech is a Maltese sim-racer who currently drives for Katana Motorsports in the 2014 Formula Challenge season. He also drove some races in the 2014 Supercup season as a reserve driver for the Centurion Grand Prix team

Early Years

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.

2014

For the 2014 season Terence wanted to race a Full season in one of the GPVWC career ladder series. His aim was to get a seat in the 2014 Supercup season however he and his management failed to get him a seat in this series. Terence wanted to go a step lower and he wanted to race in the 2014 Formula Challenge season , he had the feeling he could do some good things in that series. Alot of teams noticed Terence and he and his management talked with alot of those teams, in the end he chose the brandnew Katana Motorsports team of team owner Tom van der Voort to drive for, his teammate this season would be Mark Wicks
