The FIA and iRacing are working to grow grassroots motorsport by making available 12-month promotional codes to all ASNs (national associations) that they can offer to their members. The plan is that by offering a low-cost and easily accessible route into grassroots motor sport, sim racers may potentially move on to real-life competition. This is yet another example of sim racing acting as a gateway to motorsport. #simracing #esports
This is a great initiative, let's hope the Canadian ASN choses to participate!

Sim racing is definetly very tranlatable in my experience. I found that spending alot of time in the sim made me faster out on the karting track so this is a great incentive!

Good news for the sport, many never find a path to enter due to the expense but having a way to prove yourself and gain sponsors will equate to a larger talent pool and greater competition thus the sport can continue to grow and develop. Thanks for sharing.

How do you grow a brand? One of the ways is to make it accessible. These are good steps taken. Thanks to digital platforms offering unprecedented visibility and access, grassroots motorsports are experiencing a renaissance IMO and are helping to set up the next 10 years of Motorsport stars.
