Nick Ottinger certainly isn’t a stranger to sim-racing, as he’s been racing ever since recovering from open-heart surgery when he was 13. He’s been a part of the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series for over 10 years, having won during its inaugural television debut. He has won over 400 races on iRacing and is tied for second place when it comes to the most wins at the eNascar Coca-Cola iRacing Series, having won 16.

Ottinger himself also took to Twitter to talk about the signing. “I’m honored and super excited to be able to represent TSM as their first esports competitor! I really appreciate everyone who continued to support me when I started this adventure almost 12 years ago. Thank you all so much. Here’s to more wins and races in the future.
