Catering to Automotive Websites and Magazines. The team at the MPN’s parent company Gran Touring Motorsports has been working in the web development space since the web was new! We’ve run large scale car club sites and forums like Porsche Club of America (National), Audi Club of America, SCCA Washington DC Region and many-many others! We understand the automotive and motorsports landscape and want to help you succeed and grow your business (club or podcast!) online and in social media.
Just like restoring a classic car, our specialty is repairing and resto-modding old websites. Why throw away all the money you’ve spent on a website? When we can freshen up it’s suspension, tune the carburetor and put on some new rims. Chat with one of our consultants today about how we can help you!
Below are some of our current clients that we partner and develop for. Check out their sites today! If you’re interested in learning more about this service, and pricing – please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Audi Club (Late ’90s/Early ’00s)
20+ years ago… Gran Touring Audi (GTA) was setup as an Audi Coupe enthusiasts website. The GTA website ran for about 5 yrs, until ultimately being merged into the Potomac Region of Audi Club of America, which Crew Chief Eric was in charge of. The sites tag line read: “Welcome to Gran Touring! An online Audi community for Owners and Enthusiats Worldwide! This site’s theme is based around an archive for the “Audi Coupe’s” from ’81 to the Present; Including the GT, Coupe Quattro 20v, Urq, TT’s and many more. This site is open to ALL Audi models, but is designed around a specific model. At Gran Touring we strive to bring you the latest Audi news, classifieds, technical data, and much more! Feel free to look around, and please contribute to our site. We respect and encourage frequent use of sites like AudiWorld.com and AudiFans.com.”
Porsche Club (Late ’90s/Early ’00s)
Being an active family member (and now full member) since the 1980s, Crew Chief Eric found himself on the cutting edge of technology learning about languages like HTML, PHP, Perl and many others. He was asked to step in and aid with various PCA regional websites, including the Zone 2 Hub, then finally stepping up to PCA National serving on the Web and Multimedia Team for over 6 years.
Sports Car Club of America (Washington D.C. Region; mid ’10s)
SCCA has so many different volunteer positions available to its members. One day in 2013, while GTM was getting off the ground, Crew Chief Eric (an SCCA member and competitor) was called by the WDCR board to help maintain and modernize their regional website when their webmasters had resigned from the position unexpectedly. Above is a glimpse of the original concept from early 2014, which was essentially a facelift of the existing site that rode on top of Google Sites. After 4 years, this was turned over to an outside source and marketing firm, being completely rebuilt from the ground up on a more modern underpinning.
