Sim-racer-to-driver path should no longer carry a stigma after Max Verstappen’s Nürburgring win

Max Verstappen's recent victory at the Nürburgring, alongside sim-racing expert Chris Lulham, is changing perceptions about the legitimacy of sim racing as a pathway to real-world motorsport. Misha Charoudin highlights that this win, along with Jann Mardenborough's impressive second place, demonstrates that sim racing can lead to genuine success on the track, helping to dispel the stigma that sim racers are merely 'just gamers.' This shift is significant as it opens doors for aspiring drivers who may not have the traditional resources to enter the sport.
