GRIDLIFE TC - GLTC Championship

GRIDLIFE Touring Cup Championship GLTC

Single-Class Sprint Racing

Eibach GRIDLIFE Touring Cup (Eibach GLTC) is a wheel-to-wheel sprint racing series that focuses on single-class sprint racing. The mantra of the series is “race for the racing, not for the result” while allowing drivers and teams to build the car they want to build in an open “time attack” style ruleset. Eibach GLTC is a power to weight class, where all cars are built to 12.5 lbs/HP, then add or remove weight percentage modifiers for aero, drivetrain, and other modifications. This allows for an enormous variety of builds to compete in a fast-paced, spectator focused racing event at GRIDLIFE’s race weekends. Races are 12-15 minutes, run four times a weekend, and livestreamed to GRIDLIFE Live. The series focuses on ensuring clean, fair racing throughout the grid.

THE RUSH SRX

More power. Less weight. All business.

Meet the Rush SRX – a pro-level performance machine designed to punch above its class and deliver an experience that’s raw, competitive, and fast. Like, really fast.

THE EVOLUTION OF SPEED

We took the Rush SR and turned everything up:

+70% more horsepower

More tire

Twice the aero

Barely any extra weight

BUILT TO BATTLE

The SRX isn’t replacing the SR. It’s just a different beast. SR remains the most accessible, beginner-friendly way to get into the Rush program. SRX is for drivers who want more:

More grip

More strategy

More responsibility

SRX grids will be smaller, faster, and tighter.

SRX = eXtreme

Or maybe it should’ve been I… for Insane. Here’s what makes the SRX tick:

RUSH Turbo engine: 220 whp + 30 whp Push-to-Pass (yes, on pump gas)

Full slicks on 10.5" rear / 8.5" front wheels

Widebody kit built to handle the extra grip

Extreme front aero: carbon splitter + dive planes = 2x downforce

Dual-element carbon rear wing with DRS

Trident cockpit safety system (standard)

Optional Podium Connect for live telemetry

All that wrapped into a package under 1200 lbs. That’s a 4.8 lb/hp ratio – better than a Ford GT. Better than a Radical SR3 XXR.
