I got into sim racing way back in the 90s with a game called microprose Grand Prix. I already had a passion for motorsport from the age of 11 when I discovered karting at the local track. After that I would visit there every Saturday to race against other kids. Like for many, the cost of progressing in karting beyond racing rental karts was too high to pursue.
I continued sim racing after that with the launch of gran Turismo on the PlayStation. Then progressing into the early days of online racing with toca race driver and forza motorsport. The later, I raced in a series called cyber racing world championship, where a race of ours was actually available on the official x box magazine front cover cd for people to watch.
Around 2006 my work became very busy as an active music producer/ dj where I was touring all over the globe for over a decade. I moved to London to purse the career. Visiting places all over Europe, Asia, the states, Australia and New Zealand playing from small intimate clubs to a few hundred people, right up to big festivals in front of thousands. At this time sim racing took a bit of a back seat, however I was always on the look out for a kart track to jump in and practice on my travels to keep the racing alive.
I eventually discovered iracing in 2014 and have happily been a member for nearly ten years now.
Around the same time was also the beginning of the journey to build a sim setup rather than using a controller to race. Starting out on a laptop and Logitech g27 wheel and pedals things slowly developed into a full fledged racing rig with fanatec wheel and pedals, simlab rig and triple screen monitors.
I have participated in nearly 1000 road races within iracing, with many incredible races in a variety of disciplines. I specialised for many years in the skip barber series where I was a regular feature in top split races and always finished high up in the infamous uki Monday night skip barber series
Over the last few years my focus has slowly shifted towards endurance gt racing. Starting out doing longer official races such as 3 hour endurance races in gte or gt3 cars. Progressing to full 24 hour races. Ill always enjoy the drama of short sprint races, but there is something special about working in a team environment in endurance racing.
I am now proudly part of the Fischer motorsport team in my second season racing in the Porsche 911 gt3r in the VSCA series.
