Our engineers explain why the role is so valuable to the team
The prize for winning our World's Fastest Gamer esports competition is a role as McLaren's sim driver - a role that is imperative to the team's testing and development.

McLaren engineers Tom Stallard, Will Joseph and Andrew Jarvis explain why the winner of WFG will have a big job to do.
