Champion sim racer to drive Red Bull F1 car at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing driver Sebastian Job will once again sit in a seat formerly occupied by a four-time Formula 1 champion.

Driving the 2012 RB8 F1 car, a design that took seven wins that season, Job will convert his sim racing skills – reigning RAFA Racing Club Porsche Esports Carrera Cup GB champion and 2024 Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup champion – into real-world prowess when he drives it during the F1 75 parade.

Celebrating the sport’s ‘Diamond Jubilee’, a mixture of past and present F1 drivers, engineers and vehicles will be present at the West Sussex event.

Job last piloted the V8-engined single-seater at the Red Bull Ring, part of a Game to Glory: Level Up documentary, last year. He also recently tested a real-world Porsche 911 Carrera Cup car.

“Never in a million years would I expect to be in this position, so I’m going to really savour the moment. A massive thank you to the team for providing me with this opportunity, I can’t wait,” said Job.

The run will be on Sunday 13th July 2025, and for sim racing fans, you can also test the upcoming title, Project Motor Racing, at the same event.
