From Game to Race - Maxwell Simracing

THE BEGINNING OF THE RACING PATH

Sergei, the son of our founder Andrei Karamseili, has always had a passion for racing. But it wasn’t until he watched the movie Gran Turismo that his dream to transition from virtual to real racing took shape. Inspired by the film, he made the bold move to take his gaming skills into the real world.

His journey started with a year of training and competition in electric karting at K1-Speed, where he won the California Championship. This was made possible through intense training on a professional racing simulator, including iRacing, which helped him hone his skills before hitting the track.

RACING ON REAL TRACKS

After his success at K1, Sergei moved up to professional karting with the KA-100 Junior series. Despite competing against drivers who had years of experience, Sergei kept achieving impressive results. In 2024, he finished in 2nd and 3rd place at the Southern California Championship, proving that training on a simulator could lead to real success on the track. In fact, up to 70% of his track training is done on simulators, saving both time and money while improving his performance.

In 2025, Sergei is set to compete in the California Championship, regional races with neighboring states, and the U.S. National Championship. The highlight of the year will be his participation in the SuperNats in Las Vegas. His preparation includes daily simulator training, karting practice, strength training, and competitive team races on simulators.

SIMRACING IS A REAL WAY TO RACING

Our story shows that using simulators can significantly reduce both time and financial costs in motorsport training. Sergei’s success is proof that anyone can achieve their racing dreams with the right tools and training.
