THOMB: From A Controller On His Bed... To Driving An Actual Formula 1 Car
In the very first episode of Titan Talks, we sit down with Thom Brouwer, the sim racer who started out streaming F1 from his bedroom and somehow ended up driving a real Formula 1 car at Paul Ricard. Thom takes us through the whole journey: getting bitten by the F1 bug watching Max Verstappen, splitting his first wheel with his dad, nearly qualifying for the F1 Esports Pro Draft, becoming one of the first-ever ambassadors for an F1 team, and finally getting the call to drive a real F1 car, live on stream. We go through his actual telemetry data from the day (compared against a real F1 driver), hear the story behind his insane home sim racing studio, and put him through a rapid-fire "faster or slower" round against some of the biggest names in sim racing and esports. If you've ever dreamed of going from your bedroom rig to the real thing, this one's for you.
