The understated Formula E ace taking sim racing by storm
Having carved out a professional career in Formula E, Oliver Rowland has had to abandon his knowledge of sim work for Nissan to be competitive in Esports championships, and the hard work is paying off
One would presume that having the experience of developing Williams' Formula 1 simulator and leading Nissan's Formula E venture would serve as the perfect preparation when virtual racing took centre stage following the postponement of all real-life motorsport.
But despite all evidence to the contrary given his recent success in Esports competitions, Oliver Rowland says that's not the case. The 27-year-old scored his maiden victories in both the BRDC Esports Championship and Formula E's Race at Home Challenge series, run in partnership with Motorsport Games, within the space of three days last week.
