Max Esterson
Bio:
Max Esterson
Age: 16 (2002)
Max started racing online on the iRacing simulation platform over 5 years ago and has since become a top 5 iRacer out of all 25,000 drivers in the U.S. and is in the top 60 out of 60,000 iRacers worldwide. In order to compete in high level competitions with big prize pools, it takes practice and training, and one must also learn about car setup and be able to successfully analyze telemetry to work around any roadblocks. Max’s current team, Vendaval Simracing, collaborated with FA Racing G2 Logitech G, Fernando Alonso’s simracing team, to test and develop set-ups and compare driver feedback for 2018 season. When Max first started karting in the summer of 2018 at OVRP without any prior racing experience, apart from the occasional indoor arrive-and-drive kart race, it was clear that skills from iRacing helped him quickly adapt to driving a kart, as many techniques and general racing concepts carried over from the sim world to the real thing.

Joined Vendaval Simracing, and qualified to become a driver in iRacing’s GT World Championship Series, fighting for $10,000 alongside 50 of the best iRacing endurance teams competing in an 8 race, 7-month long championship.

-
Raced in iRacing’s GT World Championship Series with 1 top 10 finish, along with several strong qualifying performances, including a 3rd place qualifying effort in the opening race. Finished 24th in the standings at the end of the season.
