Gran Touring Motorsports Club has a long standing tradition of being a “no annual dues” social club for Motorsports Enthusiasts. Starting in 2018, we initiated a Voluntary Membership Commitment (VMC) program to help fund club activities. The VMC program was converted to PATREON and is completely voluntary and not required for anyone that wants to continue receiving the great benefits and features of GTM. Our goal is to provide supporters with additional benefits (extra/exclusive content, gifts, events, etc) that you might miss if you choose not to contribute. Plans start as little as $2.50/month, you can set custom amounts, or send in a one-time donation.
Proceeds from contributions go to help pay for things like:
- Club Administrative Costs
- Website/Domain/Hosting Fees for all 4 sites (GTM, Schwag, NMSA and Paddock-Pal).
- Expansion/Maintenance of Communication Services & Newsletter
- Software Development
- Accounting Software, Bank Fees and Credit Card fees.
- Break/Fix Podcast Hosting Costs including Zoom
- Philanthropic support / Donations to organizations like IMRRC, VETmotorsports and others**.
- **Since GTM operates as a Not-for-Profit, extra monies (if any) are either returned, carried-over or donated to charities
- Event Costs (ie: Summer Bash, Paddock Party, Animal House, etc)
- Food, Snacks, Drinks, etc used during larger Group Events & Paddock Parties
- Down-payments for AirBNB & Group Rental Properties
- Down-payments for Special Events (Karting Showdowns, Golf Tournament, etc)
- New marketing and Schwag! creations
- Hats, Tees, etc

Many of you already do things that help contribute and aid the continued success of GTM, and we thank you for that. Keep doing what you’re doing! All we ask is that you consider a PATREON pledge for the coming year to help keep the momentum going. — Without members like You, none of this would be possible!
