SIM Racing gets REAL

Marius Roberts — Marius Roberts hangs out with Jordan Pepper and brothers Kelvin and Sheldon van der Linde - three South African racing drivers who have raced their way to the top step in international motor racing - we talking super star status!
We chat about the impact of COVID19 on motor racing and their careers and how they see their respective racing seasons unfolding as a result.
BUT of course the big talking point is Sim Racing! For sure it was gaining mainstream popularity but with all motorsport being cancelled because of the pandemic, Sim racing finds itself thrust centre stage with the biggest names in real racing clamouring to get into a rig! On any given night you can grab the popcorn, hop onto any one of the many platforms streaming a race and watch Kelvin, Sheldon and Jordan going door to door with Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Rene Rast and battling against the biggest names in Sim racing...who frankly I have never even heard of!
And I mean no disrespect here - these Sim Racers are super stars in the online community but unknowns to mainstream race fan - but that could all be changing as COVID19 blurs the racing lines...virtually!
