Since its inception, it has produced successful racers who have transitioned from sim racing to actual track racing such as Russel Reyes who currently races in the Tamaraw Class of the 2026 TGR Philippine Cup, and Luis Moreno who previously raced under the Novice Class of the 2025 TGR Philippine Cup season.
