Never knew Stanaway was a big fan of the TOCA games back in the day. Interesting read.

"It all started about 20 years or so ago playing car racing games on PS1. Gran Turismo, Need for Speed etc. Naturally, I purchased a wheel and pedal set which I can only imagine must have surely been one of Fanatec’s first ever products in that line of hardware," Stanaway said.

"When Codemasters created V8 Supercars: Race Driver for the PS2 it really set off my passion for gaming and heavily exposed me to the world of motorsport and was probably one of the most significant influences on my career choice. It's a surreal thought that a lot of the cars and tracks I played as an 11-year old kid I was fortunate enough to experience in reality later in life."
