iRacing “Alien” Glenn McGee Joins Sick Sideways Racing

Mazda Motorsports is pleased to announce that professional gamer, turned professional race car driver, Glenn McGee has signed with Sick Sideways Racing, a championship winning team, to contest the 2016 Battery Tender Global Mazda MX-5 Cup Series presented by BFGoodrich Tires.

Described by many in the gaming culture as an "Alien," [a term for simulation drivers with seemingly in-human speed.] McGee made history in 2015 as the first driver from the virtual-world to win the Mazda Road to 24 Shootout (#MRT24), earning his entry into the Shootout as a world champion representative from iRacing.com's online motorsports simulation service. Awards from the competition included a $100,000 Mazda scholarship to support up-and-coming drivers and McGee will be applying it towards his professional debut in the series.
