The German Roller Racing squad & RaceRoom have kicked off a talent search in the R3E, allowing the quickest drivers inside the sim to prove themselves in a real race car.
Similar to Sony & Nissan’s successful GT Academy programme, gamers were asked to prove themselves in RaceRoom Racing Experience either from home or in simulators inside the Roller furniture stores.
The fives quickest drivers have been invited to a real-life driver evaluation session at Hockenheim earlier today.
Kamil Franczak, Thomas Kiefer, Johannes Scheuerle, Christian Zielk & Julian Kunze were invited to test drive the team’s BMW M235i race cars, the lucky winner will be competing in an actual race, driving the team’s BMW in a VLN race on the legendary N??rburgring Nordschleife.
Below are some photos of today’s on track session, the candidates were joined by 2013 ADAC GT Masters Champion Daniel Keilwitz who’s part of the project as well.
