Meet the Contender: Glenn McGee

Disruptive technology is changing the face of motorsport. Racing talent Glenn McGee, iRacing MX-5 Cup champ, is on the verge of breaking through.

Representing a new breed of racing driver, Glenn McGee's start in motorsports didn't come on the hot tarmac of a local go-kart track, but behind the bright glow of a computer screen in the highly competitive world of Simulation Racing. This early introduction to racing developed McGee's passion and determination that is needed to succeed in real-world racing.In McGee's early years in Sim-Racing, he earned a reputation for being "Alien" fast, a term used to describe those with seemingly in-human speed. It was this reputation which directly led to McGee's first taste of real-world racing when he was discovered by the head mechanic of a leading karting team, OGP.
