The Sim Racing Olympics Are Really Happening
The International Olympic Committee has announced its first-ever Olympic Virtual Series, a bold move meant to capture a young generation of viewers whose interest in physical sports is on the decline. One of the virtual sports will be sim racing.
The IOC partnered with five international sports federations including the FIA the global motorsports organization behind Formula 1 and the World Endurance Championship. Other virtual sports will include rowing, tennis, sailing, and baseball.
Sim racing is one of the most popular virtual sports in the world, in part because the skills required to be good at sim racing and real racing overlap considerably. With national and global sim racing competitions attracting increasingly large audiences over the past few years, it’s no surprise it was selected to be one of the five Olympic virtual sports.
