having grown with a father in the car industry, and being in the fortunate position to be able to spend school holidays at his workshop i have naturally picked up knowledge and skills

i have been able to apply this knowledge and skills to many of my hobbies such as RC Car racing in which i am able to understand the mechanics of setting up a car, due to the high complexity and performance of these RC cars many of the skills which have grown and developed from this is also very applicable to real world racing and mechanics

I am most passionate about applying these skills to my hobby of simulation racing my simulation setup consists of a racing wheel base by MOZA racing called the R12 wheelbase, it consists of 12NM of torque which needed to be properly calibrated when initially bought however in addition to the wheelbase a wheel is necessary to be able to race

The wheel I own is called the MOZA Ks wheel, this wheel is unique to other brands as it functions with a quick release which has helped me understand some mechanics of race car's steering wheels In addition to this I need pedals, the pedals I own are the MOZA srp edition which consist of a load cell and hall sensor to operate I have to manually calibrate these which helps me understand how a load cell system works furthering my understanding of mechanics

In August of 2023 my friend and I had created a racing team called Sierra racing However, unfortunately my friend had stepped down but im proud to say my team are now a professional eSports team This includes responsibilities such as managing drivers and organising events, this makes my communication skills and time management very effective which helps the team work together helping us be the best we can be

Recently I have contacted many different companies about coordinating a sponsorship or affiliation which feels positive
