Help me fulfil my dream of a Race Seat in 2024

Donation protected
Hi there! For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm James, I'm 25 years old and I race cars competitively in both the virtual world and real one. My passion is racing and I'm kindly asking for your support, in any way you can, to help me fulfil my dream of racing competitively in real life and showing the world what us sim racers can do. Here's a bit about my story:

James Baldwin is a 25-year-old Racing Driver, who competed in the British GT Championship throughout 2020. James started his racing career in Karting aged 8 going on to win five national championships. Unable to secure a suitable budget to progress into single-seaters James did not give up, instead turning to the new and exciting arena of esports as a way to keep racing competitively.

James quickly established himself as one of the world's top esports drivers winning several prestigious championships including the Le Mans Esports Series and the eRace of Champions before going on to be crowned ‘World's Fastest Gamer’ in 2019.

For 2020, with support from ‘World's Fastest Gamer’, James raced a McLaren GT3 for Jenson Button’s team in British GT. He secured three pole positions and a race victory - which came on his debut - and he with his team finished an overall 4th position in the Championship. Unable to find sufficient backing to continue racing in 2021 James returned to esports, winning a number of most competitive championships.

He was also able to combine this with a drive at the highly esteemed 2022 TotalEnergies 24 Hours of Spa in a McLaren 720S GT3 for the Garage 59 team. At this event he proved his ability to race with the best GT drivers in the world, finishing 7th overall in his qualifying session and producing very competitive lap times during the race itself. When asked about his performance after the race, the team said they would have James ‘back in a heartbeat’.

James is now trying to raise the budget required, to secure a full-time drive for the 2024 season in a series such as GT World Challenge, British GT, European Le Mans Series and/or the World Endurance Championship. Any support you can give is greatly appreciated.
