Team History
Welcome to the Team Shark history archives.

From here you can browse through a history of each racing simulation the team has been active in. The archives contain a wealth of historical information about the team's activities from trophies won to individual news articles.
Introduction
Team Shark was founded in 1993 by British drivers Simon and Dave Gymer, and is dedicated to online sim-racing.

Shortly after forming the team quickly increased it's numbers to take part in championships using Geoff Crammonds, Grand Prix 1 & 2. These early days saw the team submitting times into various Halls of Fame including HOF and HOF2 (halls of fame for Grand Prix). For five years the team raced in a number of now classic racing simulations.

Team shark emerged in 1998 with an online prescence, marked by the arrival of Grand Prix Legends, a game that was to set the benchmark in the racing simulation genre for years to come. With a modestly sized outfit the team started competing in leagues like UKGPL. After 6 years and a reasonable level of success the team ended it's Grand Prix Legends operations.

With the promising arrival of Simbin's GTR1, in 2004, Team Shark expanded into a much bigger operation with owner Simon Gymer, ploughing in new resources to creata a new website and forums. This was the start of the next chapter in the team's history as it experienced great success in GTR1, then GT Legends and GTR2. This period in the team's history saw continued growth as the team merged, in 2005, with an established Nascar Racing 2003 outfit (Phoenix Racing), run by Nick Phillips. The team then further expanded it's involvement in the sim-racing genre by launching forays into rFactor, RACE and RACE 07.

Reducing it's size through 2008 and 2009 as it focused almost exclusively on GTR2, the team continues to move forward by beginnning operations with iRacing.
