- Racing Prodigy has announced the formation of the Prodigy Racing League, the world’s first e2Real™ sports league. The racing league has been built to make motorsports more accessible using esports as the pathway to racing cars on real tracks. This greatly reduces the financial barriers to pursuing a career in motorsports, leveling the playing field and enabling millions to pursue their dream.

Racing Prodigy’s CEO David Cook saw firsthand that sim racers were beating real-life racers in real race cars, revealing that the skill set from virtual racing directly transfers to real life. This realization showed that the access problem of real motorsports can be solved, creating the opportunity for seismic change in a sport that most young people only dream of pursuing.
“At Racing Prodigy, we are lowering the financial barriers to enter motorsports to the same level of traditional sports. Gamers just need a console, mobile device, or PC with a wheel and pedals to participate in esports tournaments, which is how we open the sport we love from the few to the many,” said Cook. “The PRL is the new home for racers of all backgrounds and abilities, where they can chase their motorsports dreams from the screen to the track. We believe everyone should have an opportunity to participate in motorsports, and today is a momentous step forward.”
Four game titles - iRacing, Street Kart Racing, rFactor 2, and RaceRoom - have joined Racing Prodigy to offer the opportunities of turning dreams to reality. The global search for racing prodigies begins with iRacing on June 19. Gamers must be at least 13 years old and register before the qualifying stage concludes on June 26. Racing Prodigy will livestream its semi-finals and final races on July 1 and July 2. Additional free-to-play and pay-to-enter tournaments will be announced in the coming weeks.
Additionally, Racing Prodigy welcomes three Official Partners to Prodigy Racing League, including SIM-LAB, GRID Engineering, and Asetek SimSports®. These foundational partners are supporting the sim racing community and generously providing their innovative, high performance, industry leading products as prizes for winners and some tournament participants.
HOW IT WORKS
Prodigy Racing League participants will compete in esports racing tournaments among the four legendary gaming titles across 12 tournaments from June through October.
Fifteen of the top performers will be awarded a Prodigy Pass™, the “golden ticket of motorsports,” to compete in real Radical SR1 race cars at Prodigy Week™. The event will be hosted in November at Atlanta Motorsports Park, a two-mile racetrack designed by Formula One premier architect Hermann Tilke. Those top performers will receive expert instruction on racing technique, fitness, and communication.
Following the first Prodigy Week in November, Racing Prodigy plans to host a second Prodigy Week in early 2024 with an additional 35 Prodigy Pass winners, creating a pool of 50 of the world’s most talented drivers from which PRL teams will draft. The plan is for those drafted to receive a paid contract to compete in PRL’s first real-world racing series in the United States, to be launched in 2024.
