The team sends our deepest condolences to John's family & friends, and we will be sharing ways to help if possible.
The racing world, real & virtual, lost a good man.
Rest in peace John "Spec" Wilding ποΈ
Our team lost a legend, and a friend yesterday.
John was one of the first to join the team in its infancy during the height of GT Sport, but his passion for Gran Turismo & his legacy spans farther back. He competed online in GT5 & 6, reaching GT Academy America in 2011.

Competition may have been a passion of his, but Spec had a sense of humor & optimism that will be missed dearly. He could get a laugh out of you even after your worst race, or even his. His positive attitude in the sim racing world was refreshing, and one to aspire to.

Amazing that I could meet a dude sim racing, and he turned into one of my close friends. He brought me into the world of on track racing. I'll miss the banter over coms, drinking beers at the track, and will be forever grateful for his friendship. Miss you Spec
Rest in Peace DNA_SpecMiata. You brought a smile to my face anytime I saw you entered party chat. You were huge part of the GT community for myself and you always held it down for the βold guysβ in sim racing. Iβll hit the jazz cabbage tonight just for you, Spec π€#FuckCancer
