Motorsport is one of the most expensive sports in the world to get into. Talent is everywhere; seats are not. Khumalo eSports exists to change that, starting in the simulator.

The team's aim is to find and develop the next motorsport champions through sim racing, and to give drivers who could never afford a seat a way into the sport.

  • Talent first. Drivers are picked on lap times, not on budget.
  • Sim to circuit. A path from the simulator to real-world racing.
  • Open access. Motorsport opened up to more people.
