Our Story

From virtual racing to a mission-driven motorsport team supporting cancer research

The Beginning

Montecito Racing was founded in Los Angeles, California by Andrew McDonald and Jack Berry, with a vision to build a competitive motorsport team. What began as a hobby, turned into a goal to become the intersection of racing excellence and charitable impact.

"At the beginning, I did not know exactly what Montecito Racing was going to be. The idea began as a virtual racing team built around competition and cars. Over time, as I reflected on the impact we could make, I saw the level of work being done at Cedars-Sinai, it became clear that this team should exist to support organizations like this through racing and fundraising."
— Andrew McDonald, Founder & Driver #88

Our Journey

The Foundation

Building the Team

Montecito Racing was established with a focus on GT endurance racing, recruiting drivers who shared our values and goals: teamwork, respect, and the drive to compete at the highest level.

The Mission

Partnering with Cedars-Sinai

We formalized our fundraising with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, directing 100% of donations to their cancer programs, directly through Cedars-Sinai's official portal.

Present Day

Competing & Contributing

We're actively recruiting and practicing to compete in GT3 simulator racing in games iRacing and Assetto Corsa Competizione while building toward the goal of raising funding for real-world GT4 endurance events.

The Future

Full Endurance Program

Our long-term goal is to field a competitive GT4 endurance team on real tracks, meant to expand our potential for charitable impact to an internationally broadcasted level.
