I don't think that's entirely true. Firstly, of course it's an ad campaign, but there are professional drivers that started as gamers. Rudy van Buren won fastest gamer last year, and he's driving a race car now. Bringing a young driver up through the traditional ranks is insanely expensive, and I think motorsport companies and teams are looking at esports as a legitimate way to find talent. Let's be honest though, they won't be coming from RR3. Or if they do, they will also have to be fastest in a real sim. I think the final takes place using rFactor 2.
