Age: 16

Residence: Denmark

Where did you hear about us: Watched part 1 of some online Le Mans race and got kinda interrested

What series are you planning to run: i plan ofc to start in SRCA to get my career started off.

Simracing experience/League experience: I started simracing when I was very young, about the 11-12 year age. Most of my early experiance came from offline racing such as grand turismo, f1 2010, -11, -12 so on. But in the later years I've done alot of online competitive racing. Mainly it has been F1 league, most noticeably Nebula F1 League.

Simracing hardware: Currently only a G29, but I'm currently updating my old G27. I'm currently also looking to buy a GT Omega ART, or an Obutto oZone. I'm still under 18 so my job doesn't give to much money.

Real vehicle: Bicycle?

Favorite simracing car: 2017 rfactor F1 mod for Nebula League.
