What is the GT3S Speedway Tracker?

The Tracker reflects the annual points accrued (based on your Quarter) for all four focus areas, as well as the aggregate total. It is an easy way to see where you are excelling and where you might need more work. Points reset at the beginning of each new GAN Quarter.

What is GAN Quarter

Your GAN Quarter is the Quarter of the year in which you joined, expressed as QTR1, QTR2, QTR3, and QTR4. For example, if you joined GAN in January through March, your GAN Quarter would be QTR1. If you joined GAN in April through June, your quarter would be QTR2, and so on. Your GAN Quarter also controls your annual points accrual period. For example, if you’re a QTR2 member, you accrue annual points from April of the current year to April of the next year. This allows all GAN members accrue points on an annual basis in a fair manner.

Where can I find my GAN Quarter?

You can see your designated GAN Quarter under “Edit GAN Profile” in the “My Account” section of the website.

Go to your Learning Dashboard either from “My Account” or the “GAN Girl Hub”, then click on “Show More” under left-hand pane, then click on “External Activities”. There you can add many different types of activities that all have point values.
