About Our Sim Racing Team

  • by

 

simRACE247 has been formed at a time when sim racing as a sport is booming, providing a platform for young talented motorsport fans to get a taste of racing with wheel and pedals. These move on to become fine sim racers and enjoy careers that span decades.

A hobby/sport that was the domain of motorsport nerds not too long ago, is now mainstream with many opportunities for dedicated and skilled drivers to make a name themselves on the eSport stage. Here, with hard graft and commitment, these drivers can end up one day going head-to-head with the top sim drivers of this generation, whose poster boys are none less than Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and the like.

Our Team is made up of young guns seeking to become pro-level drivers needing a hand with their sim racing careers, through to amateur drivers who are keen to race and develop within a team environment of like-minded motorsport and sim racing fans.

The main focus will be to shine on the iRacing platform, with Factor 2 and Assetto Corsa programmes also planned for the team.
