2008
Tim was competing in low-budget go-karting, but had to quit due to a lack of funding.
2009
He was introduced to sim racing as an alternative option, and he quickly saw the potential it had. He started to take sim racing more seriously and focused on developing his skills.
After
Tim has won several sim racing competitions, including the virtual DTM, and eventually made the transition from the virtual world races to real race cars.
“With the introduction of the Simucube ActivePedal, I finally got the brake pedal feel I had been searching for years. I can now sense ABS and locking wheels just like in a real car. I honestly can’t drive without it anymore.”
Tim chose Simucube because of its unmatched quality and performance, allowing him to focus entirely on driving. He credits Simucube for helping him fine-tune his skills and prepare for high-level real-world racing. The Simucube ActivePedals, in particular, gave him realistic brake feedback — so essential that he says he can’t drive his sim without them anymore.
