From sim racing to winning Daytona 500
This past weekend, two prolific iRacing members scored career-defining victories in two of the biggest real-world events of the calendar year. Over in New South Wales, Australia, Ayhancan Güven, a former Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup driver and current Porsche factory driver, teamed up with Laurens Vanthoor and Matt Campbell to win the Bathurst 12 Hour on Sunday. Just over 24 hours later, across the world in Daytona Beach, Florida, William Byron, who began his real-world racing career after competing on iRacing, held on to win his first-career Daytona 500.
