G2 is proud to announce that Alpine Sim Racing driver Otis Lawrence has been crowned 2026 F1 Sim Racing World Champion, following a title-winning performance across the 2026 season.

Running from March 27 to May 28 and featuring a $750,000 prize pool, the F1 Sim Racing World Championship saw drivers representing Formula 1’s leading teams compete across four events, beginning with a live opener at DreamHack Birmingham.

The title battle went down to the final event, with Lawrence securing multiple race victories across 12 rounds to finish top of the standings.
