Munich. Sebastian Job (GBR), driver for BMW M Team Redline, triumphed at the 2024 Esports Awards held on Thursday in Los Angeles (USA), winning in the newly introduced “Sim Racer of the Year” category. This award recognis es the 24-year-old’s outstanding performance over the past season, as acknowledged by a jury and Esports fans worldwide.

“Congratulations to Sebastian Job and BMW M Team Redline on winning the Esports Award,” said Timo Brückner, Project Lead BMW M Automotive Gaming. “This award not only underscores Sebastian’s exceptional talent and passion, but also the outstanding work and dedication of the entire team. It’s fantastic to see virtual motorsport gaining the recognition it deserves in the Esports segment with the introduction of the new “Sim Racer of the Year” category.
