World’s Fastest Gamer

In a freak bout of Opposites Day, ex-F1 driver and double Indy 500 champion Juan Pablo Montoya can now lay claim to being the fastest gamer in the world.

After almost a fortnight of hard-fought competition, British gamer James Baldwin has taken the crown of World’s Fastest Gamer.

Starting today, ten gamers from around the world of virtual motorsport will be competing for the chance to win a year-long race contract.

Jann Mardenborough is a man who can claim to be the world’s fastest gamer. The Brit won the third GT Academy competition back in 2011, and since then has been plying his trade in some of the world’s top racing series. At 210mph down the Hunaudieres in the ill-fated Nissan GT-R LM NISMO, chances are he’s driven quicker than any gamer before — or since.

Millennial Esports, the company behind the World’s Fastest Gamer (WFG) competition, has revealed two new high-profile investors. Former Formula One drivers Juan Pablo Montoya and Rubens Barrichello have invested in the company as part of a $5m round of fundraising.

The second of two final qualification spots for the second season of World’s Fastest Gamer (WFG) goes up for grabs today.

If you think you might be pretty handy on a driving simulator, but don’t have the equipment to participate, here’s your chance.

After crowning Rudy van Buren as the world’s fastest gamer, the competition of the same name is back for 2019 — and with quite a special prize.

Last year Rudy van Buren walked away with the title of World’s Fastest Gamer from McLaren. He ended up scoring a job with the company and getting some pretty cool perks along the way. Now the runner-up in the competition is getting a racing job of his own.

When Rudy van Buren won McLaren’s World’s Fastest Gamer competition at the end of last year, it was a dream come true. Now the Dutchman is finding out just what some of the perks of the job really are.

After a full week of intense finals, Rudy Van Buren has come out on top in McLaren’s inaugural World’s Fastest Gamer competition.

After six months of international competition, the search for the World’s Fastest Gamer comes down to 12 players and one week.

Image Space Incorporated has introduced the latest track to rFactor 2’s lineup. Circuit Park Zandvoort is currently available as a beta for the venerable sim.

Earlier this year McLaren-Honda revealed its World’s Fastest Gamer eSports competition. WFG will find the ten fastest virtual racers, and the winner offered “the best job in eSports”, official sim driver of McLaren’s F1 team.

McLaren’s hunt for the World’s Fastest Gamer will break new ground by including mobile title Gear Club. The free-to-play app will run a qualifying event starting from today and last until August 17.

Early last month McLaren-Honda revealed its entry into the world of esports, known as World’s Fastest Gamer. Partnered with peripheral manufacturer Logitech, WFG aims to help the F1 team find the ten fastest gamers in the world.

McLaren-Honda’s World Fastest Gamer competition will begin at the Silverstone Grand Prix this July. The British manufacturer will host an inaugural rFactor 2 tournament to kick off the four-event-long program.

Following a short spell of mystery and intrigue, McLaren-Honda has revealed that it has entered the world of esports.
