About Me

Hello, I'm Miguel Gomes, a passionate racing enthusiast with a deep love for NASCAR! My journey began in the virtual world, racing online since 2003, and transitioned to real tracks in 2007, with only simulation experience under my belt. I made history as the first and only Portuguese driver to complete a full NASCAR season (Euro NASCAR 2021 and 2022) and to compete at the iconic Daytona International Speedway oval in the ARCA Menards Series.

Even with the thrill of real tracks, my passion for virtual racing remains strong. I've been a dedicated iRacing competitor since 2008, focusing primarily on oval circuits. The combination of real and virtual racing continues to fuel my drive and determination on the track.

My journey into real racing began with sim racing. In 2007, I had the incredible opportunity to meet real-life driver Thierry Haenel, who introduced me to the ASCAR series and helped me participate in the rookie tests. With only sim racing experience at that time, I was the fastest driver in those tests, and from that moment, real racing became real.

Sim racing has remained a core part of my life ever since. Today, I’m an active competitor on iRacing, where I race almost every week, keeping my skills sharp and connected with the sim racing community. I also love sharing these experiences with fellow sim racers through live streams, which you can catch on my Twitch channel or my YouTube channel.
