The Magnificent STG2. Winner of the 2008 GPG championship.

Team History______________________________

Established in January 2006, The Istanbul Connection were crowned GPG champions in our debut season. Based in London and Istanbul, TIC are the only international team in GPG. Not to mention the most successful. During our championship winning campaign we managed to hold top stop for the entire 18 race weekend season. A record which will take a bit of beating. In the same year we amassed an enormous 351 overall score, setting the record by a country mile. Last year we narrowly missed out on a second consecutive title, when our new nemesis Oztentatious pipped us at the death. Will our reign of terror continue in 2008?

The answer to that is an emphatic YES!!!

TIC stormed home to an unprecedented second GPG title in three years, winning by a record shattering 50 points and becoming the first and only team to break the 400 point barrier. HAVE IT!!!
