How esports Helped Igor Fraga Compete in One of the World's Most Expensive Sports

by devaccess



Igor Fraga is one of F3’s newest drivers.

In February, Fraga got one step closer to his dream by signing with F3 team Charouz Racing System, following that up days later by winning the Toyota Racing Series.

But when he wasn’t racing on the track, Fraga was also competing in esports racing simulators.

Not bad at all, but pretty misleading tbh. You make it look like he went from esports to real racing which doesn’t tell the entire story, so please, get all the details next time.

While many esports require skills that don't cross over, there are components like competitive drive and reflexes that are certainly applicable. I get the feeling that if Igor Fraga gave it a shot in an FPS like CS:GO, he'd have great success. I don't have any proof of course, but I just get the feeling like this guy could be a fantastic entry Fraga.

So we have, FPS, MOBA, FIGHTING games in the esports, and Now we have Racing as esports category, this is really great. I've never thought of Racing games as competitive, but sadly its underrated, it needs more love.

Real racing is more different, all im saying i know Igor and he brake tested once then he won that race, its so dangerous if you say simulation you shouldnt do that, I dont trust Igor and i dont want to be race wheel to wheel with him, they shouldnt allow that imo, you can be faster but one mistake can cost some drivers life, like we saw in F2 2019

I'm really starting to hate the overuse of the term esports. It should be called simracing in this context, but no lets make a huge mess putting every game under one umbrella

Simracing deserves all this respect, and tons more.
You should also do a video for GT Academy and some of its graduates Lucas Ordonez and Jann Mardenborough, who deserves just as much (or maybe more!) respect, since before GT Academy, they have *little to zero actual racing experience*, only racing in Gran Turismo.

it's OBVIOUS this platform doesn't wanna support content creators anymore 😒

Some weeks ago I dind't even know of him and now, he received a full video in a 1 mi subs channel. As a brazilian, I feel kinda sad for not knowing him before, but is never to late, I'll really start to watch his carrer and pray for it to be a successful one!

So glad to see sim racing on this channel. It's had massive progress over the past couple years, and I think it could challenge the main esports games one day. The past few months especially have been insane with real drivers getting involved since their seasons have been postponed. The F1 and GT esports shows it can be as professional as the rest of esports, and the fact it's so close to real life race cars now seems to be attracting more people to it. I just hope as it reaches it's peak it doesn't lose what's made it great in the first place, as tends to happen when something can generate loads of cash

Thescore Esports business model:

Take a buzzword like Nerf. Or Yolo, or zero to death. Apply a top 10 format and show these weebs the exact same clips in every single video.
