From Sim Racing to the Real Thing

The Skip Barber Formula Race Series will have a new name on the grid for the 2025 season. In another successful case of iRacing-to-reality, thanks to the Skip Barber Racing School and the 2024 Skip Barber Formula iRacing Series, Ivan Machado Perez from Spain has won a ride in a real-world open-wheel racing seat next year.

Machado competed against two other finalists from the Skip Barber Formula iRacing Series—Brazil’s Victor Miranda and the United States’ Matt Bussa. The trio recently took part in the 3-Day Skip Barber Racing School program at VIRginia International Raceway.

During the program, the finalists competed both on and off the track, lapping in the Skip Barber Racing School fleet of Mygale Formula 4 race cars while also working on their marketability, media skills, and other non-racing aspects of being a racecar driver.
