THE racing driver of Turkey – it’s fair to refer to Cem Bolukbasi like that. At the end of 2019, I was invited to race in the GT4 European Series at Paul Ricard. The first time in a race car and on a Formula 1 track was simply breathtaking. To be honest, I have a pretty unusual way of getting into motorsports: I am the first and only driver in the world to come from esports to actually race in a Formula 2 car. My first podium at my second race in the GT4 European series, my first pole position in Barcelona and the first race win in Budapest – both at the Euroformula Open.
