Since the beginning of the pandemic, racing in real life has become difficult for a myriad of reasons. It was hard to get out at the beginning, but as time went on, many sponsors were holding their funds to take care of their employees instead of marketing in racing. It turns out, e-sports is a lot less expensive, and there’s a lot of viewership since March 2020.
That first year, I was not a regular as I was hustling to make a living, but I think I still came in 4th in the Porsche Owners’ Club sim-racing series. Honing my sim-racing skills, I’ve worked my way up to having a serious shot at the championship for this season.
Be sure to join us on June 5th on GSRC to see if I can do it. I’m currently 18 points up on my closest rival, but a race win is worth 20 points. If my rival wins the race, I have to finish 9th or better or he’s the season champion on the number of wins in the season. It’s sure to be a nail biter as it’s a tough track with a tough car to drive.
I hope to see you all there!
