About

I'm Robin, 37, an amateur racing driver, a "Gentleman Driver". I've competed in karting, then rallying, and now on track, driving cars such as the Ginetta GT4, the Ligier JS2R and the Clio Cup. These days, I race in the Fun Cup. For more than ten years, I've been working in the web industry, a field whose endless possibilities fascinate me. My experience as an entrepreneur led me to a question: what if I combined these two worlds to create something unique? That's how GoToTheGrid (GTTG) was born, a platform designed to meet the needs and expectations of motorsport enthusiasts and professionals.

Why I created GoToTheGrid

It all started with a simple observation: despite the many classifieds sites dedicated to motorsport, none of them fully met my expectations in terms of ease of use, ergonomics, range of offers and visibility for advertisers. My goal: create a modern, pleasant platform where every feature makes users' lives easier, without sacrificing the quality of the content or the richness of the interactions. My ambition: reinvent the traditional classifieds model to offer a richer, more intuitive experience that truly matches the current needs of the industry.

Built with the community

My first step was to listen. I spent months talking with drivers, team managers, mechanics, engineers, fans, beginners and professionals. They all agreed: they wanted an intuitive platform, free of intrusive ads, that makes it easy to find and share information, goods and services.

Building on these conversations, I launched GTTG. Much more than just a classifieds site, GTTG aims to be the meeting point of the motorsport world: a place where everyone, seller, buyer, service provider or simply enthusiast, finds their place and their voice. I designed the platform to give everyone maximum visibility, with personalised profiles to showcase their activities, news, website and social networks. For professionals, I've also developed visibility packages across the whole site. And I paid particular attention to SEO, so that ads and offers are seen by as many people as possible.

Making motorsport accessible to everyone

I also set myself the mission of making motorsport accessible to everyone, including beginners. I regularly publish content on the blog, where I openly tackle the central question of budget and highlight teams with suitable offers. I've also created my YouTube channel, where I regularly talk about budgets, the different disciplines and my experience as an amateur driver.

A site that keeps improving

GTTG has been online since June 2024 and I'm constantly improving it: new features, usability, speed, SEO... Every day, buyers and sellers from all over the world find race cars, spare parts, driver equipment and driving courses and trackdays here, and our community keeps growing. Thank you!

Today, there are 3,987 ads online, 7,501 ads published since launch and 7,002 members from 44 countries, who have already exchanged 13,874 messages on the site.

My vision for GTTG is clear: to become the go-to place for buying, selling and renting motorsport goods and services.
