Simulator Pioneer Goes Pro

Spec Miata Champion Joins Winding Road Racing For Battery Tender MX-5 Cup.A young talent spends extensive time on road racing simulators. He (or she) gets pretty good and enters a simulator competition. He wins the competition and gets sponsorship to drive a "real" racecar. And, surprise, he turns out to be quite talented racing in the physical word, just like in the photon world.Pro phenoms Lucas Ordonez, Brian Heitkotter and Jann Mardenborough are well-known examples of this story. More recently, iRacing champion Glenn McGee won the Mazda Road to 24 Shootout (#MRT24) and has converted that into a pro drive in the Battery Tender MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires.
