Starting a new venture with TC Esports
I've always been passionate about sim racing and esports, so I'm thrilled to share some exciting news: I’ve launched my very own esports team—TC Esports! This is a project close to my heart, combining years of gaming experience with my love for motorsports. It feels amazing to take this next step after introducing TC Racing earlier this year, a team that’s now competing in the F4 Spanish Championship competing in the F4 Spainish championship
Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of diving deeper into the world of virtual motorsport. One of the highlights was participating in the F1 Virtual Series during the pandemic. Racing alongside F1 drivers like George Russell, Alex Albon, and Charles Leclerc, as well as other special guests, was an unforgettable experience. That really sparked my enthusiasm for sim racing and gave me the idea of creating something more permanent in this space.

For TC Esports, I’m teaming up with Javier Guerra, who brings fantastic experience from his time leading Williams F1 into the esports world with Williams Esports back in 2018. Together, we’re building a team that’s focused on sim racing but also aims to open doors for others in motorsport, just as TC Racing does.
I’m also excited to announce that TC Racing will be competing in the Racing Prodigy championship, which features five races on iconic tracks across the U.S., including Homestead-Miami and Sebring. The grid is made up of 24 drivers who’ve proven themselves through time trials, physical tests, and an intense draft process. It’s an exciting format, and I can't wait to see how our team performs.

I have two simulators at home that I use whenever football allows me the time. Competing in sim racing events has only deepened my love for this side of motorsports. That’s why starting TC Esports feels like the natural next step. I believe sim racing has the potential to create opportunities for talented drivers to break into the real racing world, and I want to help make that happen.
We’ll be revealing more about the drivers and competitions soon, so stay tuned. For now, I’m just very excited to see where this journey takes us—both in esports and motorsport!
