James Baldwin: World's fastest gamer to real life racer
Most professional racing drivers start in kart racing.
"We saw a simulator rig with a wheel and pedals on it on sale for about 250 quid and I was like, 'oh that's cool.' So I bought it. "But it was cool. It felt like the dream of being a driver of some kind was back on which was quite a weird feeling." It was hugely competitive, but James says the key to what's turned out to be a career-defining win, was remembering to have fun.
"It was a once in a lifetime thing. They kind of got too fixated on doing well and I think they lost that enjoyment."If you thought the title of world's fastest gamer was cool, the prize might just top it But, like so many things across the world, that's on hold for now because of the coronavirus pandemic., starting this weekend, at iconic British tracks like Brands Hatch, Donnington Park and Silverstone."If you go off, you're probably going to hit something, so it's quite risky," James says.Racing is far more physical than many realise. The drivers have to be super fit as their bodies are put under intense pressure and high G-forces.
