Episode 7: Do esports have a place in real-world motorsport?

The Traxion Podcast - Racing video games, esports and sim racing

A controversial topic, spurred on by the GT World Challenge using esports to form part of the Teams’ Championship points within 2021 and with many esports competitions previously offering real-world driving or training, we dive in head-first on the latest Traxion Podcast episode.
Does sim racing open more doors? Is there a genuine crossover between the virtual world and the real one? What skills are transferable, if any? To help navigate us through this potential minefield, our very own John Munro is a sim racer and a real racer – which is handy!
Please join the debate, we’d love to hear your thoughts, so please, comment below and let us know what you think. Will esports have a place on a traditional motorsport career ladder?
