Michael  Romanidis

On Track Summary

Romanidis displayed impressive speed right from the start and quickly became one of the fastest in his group. Although he recorded many fast times, he struggled with consistency from lap to lap. While Romanidis did not achieve the same level of improvement as some of his competitors to secure a top position, his potential was evident. With more time and by building on his solid fundamentals, it is expected that his consistency will align with his sim racing career, where he consistently finishes at the front, regardless of the racetrack. Romanidis will continue to explore the limits of the race car, find consistency, and likely achieve wins once again.

Off-Track Summary

Romanidis is highly focused and committed to learning, serving as the team's go-to racer for organizing the group and ensuring debriefs were conducted on time. Always attentive to the schedule, he frequently requested to review data. Romanidis is a quiet and reserved leader who consistently does what is necessary to excel and support his team. A genuinely hardworking individual, he has the potential to be successful as an integral part of a race team, demonstrating the same level of commitment outside the car as he does within it. Romanidis earned a spot on G2, completing their well-rounded lineup.

Bio

20 years old from Greece, Romanidis has been following F1 since 2009 when his dad got him hooked. From there, the passion and interest towards the whole of motorsport and racing only grew and with that the dream of one day becoming a real race car driver. I started sim racing in 2017 along with being a student, until late 2021 when I decided to take a risk and fully focus on Esports, trying to make the most of any opportunities that led from sim racing to real world driving. I got a taste of that in early 2023, winning the eROC Invitational on Assetto Corsa and getting the chance to meet some of the world's best drivers including my favorite driver since the start Sebastian Vettel and to drive a couple of different cars on snow and ice in Sweden on the Race of Champions track, for an amazing yet brief amount of time. Since Racing Prodigy was announced later that year, I've been trying to qualify on a majority of the events, getting the chance this year with Prodigy Week 2. Personally, I'm a quiet and not very outgoing person most of the time, but I like to think of myself as attentive to detail, eager to learn more every day and a believer of hard work paying off. That, together with the fact I'm chasing my lifelong passion and only dream of mine, there's no shortcuts or possibility I wouldn't give my absolute best trying to win out there given the opportunity. Thank you and see you at the draft!
