In the month of February in the year 2022, Duncan experienced a go-karting adventure at the prestigious Whilton Mill circuit alongside his colleagues from Aston Martin Cognizant Esports. The occasion was further graced by the presence of a special guest, Jessica Hawkins, an Aston Martin ambassador and stunt driver for the James Bond film franchise.

Astonishingly, Duncan showcased his exceptional skills by achieving the fastest lap time during the qualifying rounds, setting the stage for an exciting race ahead. Meanwhile, Jessica opted to start from the back of the pack. Despite encountering a few initial challenges, she swiftly overtook her competitors, eventually engaging in battles with Duncan himself.

Regrettably, fate intervened as Jessica was forced to retire from the race due to technical issues with her kart. Nevertheless, the encounter proved to be a remarkable experience for Duncan. The competitive spirit shared on the track undoubtedly made this event a memorable chapter in Duncan’s racing journey.

Joining the team as Development Driver for 2022, Duncan Hofland adds even greater strength in depth to an already talented squad. Having reached the finals of this year’s F1 Esports Pro Exhibition and after finishing third in PSGL’s second tier F1 Championship, Duncan already has plenty of high level sim racing experience under his belt and will play a key role as we aim to maximise our potential across the current season and build for future success.

Professional networker and former race car driver & instructor Daan Stots and Duncan Hofland join forces to push Duncan’s career up in the competitive world of Sim Racing. After winning 2nd place in season 28 the PSGL PS F1 competition Daan quickly realised the potential Duncan offered to the world of Sim Racing. Throughout the years Daan has created a strong network of drivers, teams, sponsors & race organisers. Combined with his appointment as Global Partnership Manager at Monaco Esports earlier this year Duncan Hofland will be seen flying up the ranks supported by the best Sim Racing brands in the world. 

2021 PSGL season has seen a flying start for Duncan securing P2 twice in the first five races. Both Stots & Hofland are confident they are able to create the next rising star in Sim Racing. The coming months Duncan will focus on the core of what racing in general is all about: the constant pursuit of perfection in competition to yourself and shearing mere seconds of your lap times. In the meantime, off the virtual tracks, Daan will ensure unique partnership opportunities and pave the way for Duncan’s career by activating key players in his network. 

“Talent wins races – but teamwork & intelligence wins championships.” The wise words of Michael Jordan ring true in many different industries. In racing you have entire teams ensuring the man behind the wheel can deliver top performance every race. Pitcrews, engineers, analysts, health & media experts to name a few, are all working towards the victory of the talent on the track. 

Duncan’s Dream to become the world’s best Sim Racer is proudly supported by JeanMarketing&Animazely ensuring the webdesign, animations, posts & all other elements of the media strategy are carefully planned & executed.  While Duncan focuses on track to ensure P1 on the starting grid, the team behind him focuses on the second most important grid for any Sim Racer, the insta grid, constantly striving for P1 in the media as well. 

The skills & expertise of the photographers & designers at Gassion & Supercarpool bring the brand to life. Their lenses are experienced in capturing the prancing horses, raging bulls & elegant spirits stuck to hoods of the world’s most desirable cars, so in the blink of a camera shutter these creative minds are providing Duncan and the team with top notch pictures and logo designs.

The team got together at The Unbound – Amsterdam for a shoot and the first strategic sessions on Duncan’s highspeed career. Close to Amsterdam, merely 20 Km away from the Zandvoort Racetrack the first shoot was created in a calm and serene setting. Exactly the sharp contrast needed to stay sane in the fast paced world of Sim Racing.
