Per anni gli appassionati di simulazione di guida si sono lamentati della quasi totale assenza di piloti al femminile davanti ad un monitor con un volante fra le mani. Negli ultimi tempi qualcosina ha iniziato timidamente a muoversi, con le prime "pilotesse" andate in pista persino negli eventi dal vivo con i simulatori. Una portabandiera dei piloti del gentil sesso è certamente la simpatica, carina e veloce Sinem Temur, meglio nota come SimRacing Girl, ragazza belga che, grazie soprattutto ad una serie di apprezzatissimi filmati su Youtube, potrebbe rivelarsi la prima esponente di una lunga lista di piloti senza barba! Non perdetevi l'intervista pubblicata da Square Tyres e visitate la pagina Facebook di Sinem.
What simulator do you usually race on? Which one are you more committed to?
Mostly you can find me racing Assetto Corsa but I also like RaceRoom, iRacing and Dirt Rally.
While answering your questions I just received an early access code of Dirt 4 which got me hooked the past days it’s so much of fun!
We watched some of your lives on Twitch.tv and several videos on Youtube. We know that you have a lot of experience in this e-sport. Did you ever got into a championships? Which ones?
Yes, I just completed my first league with SRS but due to traveling and missing some races I did not end up that high. My best result was with the Ferrari F138 at the Catalunya GP where I finished second of 23 competitors.
I’m starting to get up to pace and in most lobby’s i end up in the top 10 so I’m happy with that at the moment!
How do you see the future of the sim racing? Do you think there’s a possibility that we’ll see big races being broadcasted in stadiums with thousands of people like what happens with more maninstream games like League of Legends and CS: Go?
Yes definitely. I’m not gonna say as big a CS or League of Legends but the simracing world is taking huge steps forwards. Like McLaren just launched a league, you had that formula E League in Vegas and so on. Also I attended the SimRacing Expo at the Nurburgring last year which had a great atmosphere and is really a must see for all simracers!
