AIDAN WALSINGHAM

Esports driver in Assetto Corsa Competizione.

 

Pre-2022

I started sim-racing back in 2012 on Live for Speed.

I was a mouse and keyboard driver initially, before my brother was gifted a Logitech G27.

Thousands upon thousands of laps of BL1 XRG/XFG were driven (circa 22,000), WRs hunted, before joining AirAttack to compete for the team and moderate their demo server.

AirAttack partnered with Genuine Racing later in the year, and I was given the opportunity to join the big sister team.

I'd then go on to drive several different spec series' for the team, from FOXs to GT3, before driving my final proper race in LFS; the GTWS 2014 24hrs of Kyoto.


iRacing

Alongside Live for Speed, I drove occasionally in iRacing, mostly in GT3s.

What ensued was an opportunity to represent UK&I in the World Cup of iRacing in 2013, and challenge some of the big names of the time in GT3s and Gen6 cars.

I never took the platform 'seriously', and never delved into the Esports side of it beside the above event.

At the beginning of 2015, I would begin my seven-year hiatus from sim-racing, as I moved to university.

New Beginnings

2022 saw me return to sim-racing, after spending two years racing on controller in Wreckfest and Dirt 4.

I purchased a T300RS and T3PA pedal set, and proceeded to grind back to my former skill.

I immediately joined LFM, ACR, and the Cammus Community Cup, and drove as often and as competitively as I could handle.

I made friends in the Creme de la Course community, before being invited to be a pro driver for Visceral Esports following a strong performance in the Cammus Community Cup.

Visceral Esports

Visceral has been my home for most of my time in ACC.

I've raced numerous series' with Visceral, including:

SRO IGTC 2023 - Silver

RCI Esports 6h Endurance Series

GT Omega Challenger Cup - Season 2

AOR Season XI, XII, and XIII - Tier 1

LFM/Caseking.de Pro Series Seasons 1, 2 and 3
