LONDON: Slovenian student Kevin Siggy Rebernak secured a place on the McLaren e-sports team on Saturday after emerging from hundreds of thousands of entrants to win the Shadow Project final.
"I think it’s probably a first in a racing e-sports tournament," McLaren's senior manager for e-sports Leeston Bryant told Reuters of Saathof's success in reaching the final stage. More than half a million gamers entered last year's competition and more were expected for the 2019 version.All this year's finalists were men but McLaren are considering how to give women a better chance in future editions.
"That’s something which we are actively looking to do for 2020. We’re big fans of the W Series and we talk to those guys quite often ... we’d love to see some more women in motorsport."
