Sim racer turned REAL racer with Rudy van Buren | S02E10

Rudy van Buren has twice finished on the podium this season in the highly competitive Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, but his career path to this point has been far from conventional.
 
 Starting out in karting, Rudy then focused his effort on sim racing, where his natural talent shone through. This culminated in two GPVWC titles in 2017, the Superleague and International Touring Cup and winning the inaugural World's Fastest Gamer competition to become the McLaren F1 team's simulator driver for 2018.
 
 The 29-year-old Dutchman came third in the GT Pro Series and become a Mahindra simulator development driver in 2020 - a role he still holds today, with aspirations of having a test soon.
 
 In our latest podcast episode, Thomas Harrison-Lord speaks to the talented esports and motorsport competitor on the differences between sim and reality.
