episode 1041: eSports & Virtual Racing w/ Jericho
Now, you might be asking yourself - what does a Motorsports group have to do with gaming? A lot, actually. And in 2020, because of COVID we saw a huge up-tick in virtual racing and eSports as an alternative to "being at the track." Everyone from IndyCar, IMSA and Formula One were "competing online" using iRacing, and other platforms. And even pro-am groups like SCCA have moved into this realm, while GTM on a smaller scale has been hosting virtual racing leagues since 2016.
Gaming in many ways is a gateway into a sport - like racing - but can also be used as a training and conditioning tool. We’re going to be talking a lot about how "hand/eye coordination" - "developing speed/reflexes" - "and esports safety" - plays into the world of Motorsports. And joining us for this episode of Break/Fix is a gaming expert, known on Twitch to many as “Jericho”, and now the host of Amazon Prime’s “Chasing the Crown” … is our guest Tucker Boner.
