Since becoming TRS champion and racing in FIA F3, 1gorFraga has made a name for himself in the world of esports. But the Brazilian is keen to re-establish his 'real-world' career next year in Japan: SFormula
Gran Turismo esports star Igor Fraga says he is eager to re-establish his"real world" racing career in Japan following his Super Formula test appearance for Team Impul at Suzuka last week.Fraga was handed the opportunity to sample Super Formula machinery for the first time in the two-day post-season rookie test with Impul, an opportunity that came up as one of the Toyota squad's regular drivers Ryo Hirakawa had to leave early to travel to the FIA Prize Giving in Italy.
But the Brazilian driver, who was born in Japan and is fluent in Japanese, is now looking to resume his actual racing career after two seasons spent mostly on the sidelines amid the COVID-19 pandemic. "I’ve been preparing as much as I can, but not feeling that amount of G-force, and then jumping in one of the fastest cars in the world, it’s quite challenging. I think I am managing quite well so far, slowly getting up to the pace."
"Basically because of COVID, a lot of things happened," Fraga explained."I couldn’t race in 2021 and the thing is once you are out of Europe, it’s very hard to get back in."We thought it was better to come to Japan and try for a new opportunity. But then Japan's borders were also closed and I couldn’t get in. So a lot of things just didn’t come together.
