What is Sim Racing?
Sim racing or digital motorsport (as the FIA, Motorsport's governing body refer to it) is growing at a phenomenal rate. Technological advancements in recent years have seen sim racing bridge the gap between real racing and eSports, reaching both audiences - the passionate racing fan and gaming fans. This is a global presence, with over 5 million drivers in the racing genre.
The barriers to entry of sim racing are far lower than real world racing and it is one of the few eSports that actually translates into the real world. The vast majority of professional race and rally drivers now use simulators to train. As costs have come down racing simulators are now within reach of club racers and Motorsport enthusiasts. All of this, combined with the global recognition and widespread broadcasting (even on Sky One) of sim racing events has brought the sport firmly into the spotlight.
