What does it take to be a good esports racer?
Danny has been a part of the German esports racing scene for years. He started as a racer before he became the manager of ad hoc gaming’s esports racing team.
The German tells m3lly how his new job gave him a different view on the esports racing scene. “It’s expensive in any way. From money to time to emotions,” he states. But nevertheless, Danny says it is still “absolutely amazing” that he was able to turn his hobby into a full-time job.
But being a racer and manager is not enough for Danny. He is also working as an instructor at mydays Erlebniswerk. There, he introduces new drivers and sim racing enthusiasts to big racing simulators which offer much more immersion than the usual home rig.
With his many years of experience, the team manager knows that it takes more than talent to be a good esports racer. “In esports racing, it’s not like you play 1000 or 2000 hours and you’re good. Joshua Rogers, Max Benecke, they are all engineers as well. You need to understand how to set up the car.”
