Racing Prodigy offers sim racers a pathway to real motorsport and in this week’s edition of the Sim Racing Roundup you will find out how. I also have news on the McLaren Shadow F1 Sim Racing Team, an interview with the King of the Nurburgring-Nordschleife and the latest sim racing news and tech reviews.
From Sim Racing to the Real Thing
The Manual gives a great introduction to the new Prodigy Three (P3) Championship, a real world championship that pits sim racers against each other in real-world racing.
“F1 drivers typically start kart racing at the same time they begin elementary school and spend their childhood, teenage, and young adult years competing at gradually higher levels, hoping someday to get a contract from a Formula 1 team. Racing Prodigy, a U.S.-based sports, entertainment, and media company, has formed the Prodigy Racing League to give talented gamers a way to earn a contract to race real cars.”
