Marko Pejic
On Track Summary
Pejic entered Prodigy Week with some prior experience on a real racetrack, but his standout performance during the event was truly noteworthy. His excellent consistency, especially given his limited real-world experience, was particularly impressive. With the race car firmly under his control, it’s clear that the speed will follow.
Off-Track Summary
An analytical thinker with great professionalism, poise, and class, Pejic would make a valuable teammate and driver for any team. Surprisingly, he was not selected in the draft; however, he will have the opportunity to prove those teams wrong as he takes his place on the Prodigy Practice Squad.
Bio
Since a very young age, Pejic was always very passionate about Motorsports. My racing hero will always be Michael Schumacher; watching him as a small kid with my dad is what probably sparked the joy of motorsports in me. I always wanted to become a racing driver. But sadly growing up my family just didn't have the money to pursue anything in that kind of form and instead we decided to fill the gap with Sim Racing. Then, a few years later I was a college student in Automotive Engineering which I started because that would have been an alternative way to maybe get into motorsports and follow my passion, although in a different position. But with the recent developments in sim racing and esports, that all changed when some programs like World's Fastest Gamer came up and I started to get hope again that there might be a route to becoming a racing driver through sim racing and my lifelong dream became a possibility that seemed reachable with enough effort and sacrifice. That's why some time ago I decided to pursue a career in sim racing doing it full-time now and trying to become the best driver I can be, always challenging myself, and hopefully through opportunities like Racing Prodigy get my shot at real-life racing and to prove myself. Other than racing, my other passions are football/soccer and going to the gym and maintaining a good fitness level.
