A look at the ‘sim racing’ experience In a groundbreaking partnership with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) is set to revolutionize the motorsport landscape in Guyana by introducing sim racing as an official discipline.
As part of the initiative, GMR&SC has received 2,000 iRacing licences under the auspices of the FIA. These licences, valid for a year, offer Guyanese racing competitors and enthusiasts a golden opportunity to venture into the world of sim racing. Interested parties can access these licences for free by registering under GMR&SC.
But that’s not all. Competitors will be uniquely qualified for the inaugural South American Esports Championship. This thrilling virtual contest is slated for November 2nd, aligning with the São Paulo Formula 1 Grand Prix week. Participants will compete using the FIA F4 car on the iRacing platform. The qualifying phase for this championship will run online from September 29th to October 5th.
Luis Kumar (GMR&SC Executive) has expressed immense enthusiasm for the future of sim racing in Guyana. “Sim racing is more than just a game. Although there are costs associated with setting up a rig, it is undeniably the more economical discipline of motorsport. We’ve witnessed sim racers transition to real-world racing and vice versa. Sim racing offers an affordable entry point, and helps professional drivers maintain their form,” Kumar explained.
“At GMR&SC, we envision a robust future for sim racing in Guyana,” he has said.
The move by GMR&SC is anticipated to bring motorsport within the reach of many more enthusiasts in the country, paving the way for the next generation of virtual and real racers.
