About On the Grid.

I’m Stu, the founder of On The Grid Competitions.

OTG was created for motorsport, karting and sim-racing enthusiasts — whether you’re looking for your first opportunity to get involved, already compete and want some help with the costs, or simply share the same enthusiasm for racing.

Why I Started OTG

I’ve been fortunate enough to achieve my own childhood ambitions in a high-performance environment. Now, as I watch my son begin to follow his own interest in racing, I’m seeing motorsport from a different perspective.

The enthusiasm is easy. The opportunities are harder.

Motorsport has never been cheap, and the costs can quickly become a barrier. Whether it’s getting started in karting, building a proper sim setup, replacing racewear and equipment or simply finding the money to keep competing, there is always something else to pay for.

That was the starting point for OTG.

I wanted to create something centred specifically around motorsport and sim racing, offering prizes that people in this world genuinely want and opportunities that might otherwise be difficult to justify or afford.

The OTG Approach

I don’t want OTG to become a website filled with hundreds of generic competitions or enormous ticket pools where a single entry feels insignificant.

The aim is to be more selective.

Competitions will feature carefully chosen karting packages, sim-racing equipment, motorsport prizes, upgrades and experiences. Where it makes sense, I’d rather put together a complete package that someone can genuinely use than simply offer the most expensive individual item I can find.

Every competition will clearly state the prize, ticket price, total number of entries available and when the winner will be drawn.

The principle behind it is simple: good prizes, sensible ticket numbers and genuine value for the people entering. But just as important is trust.

For now, the focus is straightforward: choose great prizes, run competitions properly, treat people fairly and build OTG’s reputation from there.
