The Rise of Esports F1 Simulator Racing: Where Virtual Meets Victory

At Racecraft, we're proud to be part of this revolution. Whether you're training to compete or dreaming of racing at the Esports World Championship level, our F1 simulators are engineered to deliver the realism, performance, and support you need to bring you one step closer to the grid.

What is F1 Esports?

F1 Esports is a global competitive racing series officially backed by Formula 1, featuring the F1 Esports Series Pro Championship and affiliated leagues. Participants race virtually using simulators, but with rules, strategies, and competition that mirror real-life F1 racing.

Competitors race in hyper-accurate simulators on the same circuits and under the same rules as the real F1 calendar—complete with tire strategies, ERS deployment, and DRS overtakes.

The Racecraft Driver Development Programme is designed to support drivers across all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels – from weekend warriors to aspiring and emerging F1 Esports professionals.

And while real-world drivers have super licenses, Esports racers only need one thing: a serious simulator and the skills to match—and this is where Racecraft becomes your competitive edge.

Why Simulators Matter in Esports Racing

In Esports F1 racing, milliseconds matter. To stay competitive, a simulator must replicate every nuance of a Formula 1 car—from steering feedback and braking pressure to seating position and track conditions.

At Racecraft, we offer simulators built for Esports performance:

  • Direct drive steering systems for ultra-responsive feedback
  • Formula-style chassis for authentic seating angle
  • Load cell pedals for accurate brake modulation and control
  • Multi-screen or curved display setups for an expanded field of view
  • Motion simulator options that recreate G-forces experienced on track

All systems are fully compatible with leading titles such as F1 24, iRacing, and rFactor 2.

This level of detail isn’t just immersive—it’s essential for training, reaction time, and muscle memory. It’s why our systems are trusted by both aspiring sim racers and seasoned professionals. Optimized for competitive performance, these rigs go beyond gaming—placing drivers in a true racing environment where every millisecond counts.

Esports vs. Real-World F1: How Close Is It?

Thanks to advanced simulator physics and real-time telemetry, today’s Esports races often mirror the strategy and intensity of F1 itself. Drivers:

  • Manage tire compounds and pit stop windows
  • Calculate fuel loads
  • Adapt to evolving track conditions and weather changes
  • Deploy ERS (Energy Recovery System) at precisely the right moments
  • Exploit DRS zones for overtaking
  • Refine every aspect of their race just as professional drivers do

Things are so advanced and close that it’s no surprise leading F1 teams actively scout Esports talent—some of whom have successfully transitioned from the virtual grid to real-world racing careers, from virtual paddocks to real podiums.
