Sim racing professional and former winner of the World’s Fastest Gamer competition, Rudy van Buren, has become Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Formula 1 simulator test and development driver.
This follows a year, during 2018, in a similar role at McLaren’s F1 team – a reward for winning the reality TV show in 2017. This was followed by a simulator development role at the Mahindra Formula E team for over two years.
“I’m looking forward to it,” said van Buren to Traxion.GG.
“It’s a new challenge with new goals. I’ve been doing some simulator days in the last two years for the team. Now we are going to increase the number of sessions and dedication.
“From now on we ramp it up towards 2023 and then continue strong in the coming years.”
