As a child, Julian Tan was badly bullied in school, but he is having the last laugh now. The genius, who is now the head of the Formula 1’s digital business and eSport, is the only Malaysian named in the 2020 Leaders Under 40 in Sports list for being the brain behind the virtual Grand Prix series.
I then went to Cambridge University to complete my PhD before securing my first job in London at an American consulting firm called the Boston Consulting Group. We had already entered the world of eSport in 2017 but the Virtual Grand Prix series was only developed this year in response to the Covid-19 when the pandemic forced us to postpone and cancel our real life Grand Prix.
The reality about Formula 1 is that unlike most sports like football or tennis where you can pick up a ball or tennis racquet and play with your friends in a local park but you can’t just jump into a race car. First event is next week and we have announced a record prize fund of US$750,000 and our highest ever participation is at 237,000.
