Sim-racing is a unique environment, which brings accessibility to motorsports that are different from anywhere else. With the expense of motorsport, sim-racing provides an environment to teach people the fundamentals of race craft, car setup, and motorsports competition in an approachable way. 

 

In the last two years through the global pandemic, more motorsports brands have been approaching sim-racing as a way to engage with fans during lockdowns. This shift to the virtual world has provided a gateway for fans and enthusiasts to connect with drivers and teams via their live streams in a way they wouldn’t normally have access to. Sim-racing is one way of lowering the barrier of entry into automotive racing while at the same time teaching enthusiasts the fundamentals of the sport. This is especially true for those in underrepresented groups who love the sport of auto racing but face social, economic, or geographical challenges that keep them from participating in the sport. Check out more on SimGrid DBD page and don’t forget to follow us on social media AND in our new Driven By Diversity Discord you never know who might drop in there ;)
