Garrett Manes is set for a partial season program with RVA Graphics Motorsports by Speed Syndicate in Toyota GR Cup North America competition.

The 24-year-old Virginia native, a professional sim racer, will make his debut in the single-make series after capturing a $25,000 prize that propelled him into real-world racing.

Manes won the NASA Mid-Atlantic Spec E30 championship last year while also earned Rookie of the Year honors before finishing third at the NASA National Championships.

“Garrett is someone we’ve seen develop firsthand through our championship winning endurance racing program and his track record speaks for itself,” said team development manager Farran Davis.

“He’s won championships in sim racing, karting, and NASA competition and now he’s ready to bring that same mentality to the GR Cup feels like a natural next step.”

Further details on his partial season program have yet to be announced.
