World's Fastest Gamer Wins $1 Million Racing Contract | TOTALLY GAME

Jul 31 2020
A speed demon’s love of driving video games won him a $1 million dollar real-life racing contract with ex-Formula 1 star Jenson Button’s GT team. James Baldwin, 23, from Aylesbury was officially declared "World's Fastest Gamer" in the tournament of the same name last year. Obsessed with cars since the age of four, James was an avid Formula 1 fan as a child and started karting as soon as he met the age requirements - but had to give up in 2015 due to lack of funds. However, after spontaneously buying a cheap driving simulator rig he quickly began to win competitive races, leaving his job to pursue Esports full-time. James is spending this year driving for Jenson Button’s new GT3 team in a McLaren 720S and dreams of being simultaneously the world’s top real-world and Esports racing driver.
