SRO E-Sport GT Series | More About Our Drivers And Their Idols

Paul Jeffrey · Jun 19, 2020

As we head into our final round of the SRO AM Championship this season, we thought it might be nice to give you a little bit more insight into the drivers, and their perceived styles behind the wheel.

A little while ago we asked our AM Championship regulars to have a think about which real world racing driver they most liken themselves to, to give the audience at home a bit of an idea of the type of personalities and driving styles behind those virtual wheels.
