In the dynamic world of motorsport, there are few stories as compelling as James Baldwin’s. Crowned the "World's Fastest Gamer," Baldwin has seamlessly transitioned from virtual racing circuits to real-world tracks, trailblazing the evolving landscape of racing and it’s fantastic to be working with him once again, Providing sponsorship and consulting services in this non-exclusive partnership.
James Baldwin began his racing journey in karting at the age of eight and quickly proved himself to be a formidable competitor, claiming 8 national championships. Facing financial constraints in traditional racing, he pivoted to sim racing in 2017. His prowess on the virtual racetrack led to his victory in the 2019 World's Fastest Gamer competition, earning him a sponsorship for a full racing season with ex-Formula One driver; Jenson Button’s team.
This achievement marked a significant milestone and the start of an incredible journey bridging the gap between digital and real-world racing, Winning on his debut race, scoring 4 pole positions, 3 podium finishes, and ending the season 4th overall in the championship.
James has since gone on to race in the GT World Challenge European Championship, including the prestigious 24 hours of spa aswell as delivering multiple testing sessions for racing teams.

This digital footprint not only amplifies his reach but also offers sponsors a diverse range of platforms to further increase their brand awareness with a range of content opportunities. In this collaborative journey, I aim to set a precedent in the industry, demonstrating the immense potential that lies in the fusion of sim racing and professional motorsport.
I am deeply passionate about working with individuals who are chasing their dreams and finding a way to pursue their passions, just as I have. There is something truly inspiring about seeing talented, dedicated people push boundaries and defy expectations to achieve their goals and working with James offers a distinctive and exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of a motorsport revolution, where the lines between virtual and real-world racing continue to blur.
