D3eSports and Athena Racing have created a curriculum using all the STEM principles – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – as applied on the racetrack. The students will learn how to drive a race car and the fundamentals of auto racing engineering as part of the team. Using a driving simulator and game platform, instructors will train 30 lucky girls on all the aspects that are needed to become successful members of a virtual race team.
The all-girls team members will complete weekly training, track practice and time trials starting November 23 and ending March 1. At the completion of the program, the top two Time Trial winners will be invited to a VIP experience at a private race track in Houston, Texas, to compete in the final race, staged on matching simulators side-by-side to claim the title of Athena Racing’s Virtual Driving Training Series powered by D3eSports Training Champion.
The two winners will be awarded an opportunity to ride in a real race car on a real racetrack that matches the exact car they just raced virtually. The car will be driven by professional race driver, Dominic Cicero, who races the D3+Transformers IMSA LMP3 class race car for Dawson Racing. Additionally, the young overall winner will be invited to compete for the Global 2022 D3eSports Cup Championship as a driver for the Athena Racing team, one of eight global teams competing in the virtual racing series.

We are using this delivery of education via esports to prepare kids for their futures.”
The Athena Racing’s Virtual Driving Training Series powered by D3eSports Scholarships were created to present instruction and wisdom to inspire future entrepreneurs through a STEM curriculum offered to students looking for guidance in their careers.
