Cayman Motoring Federation Showcases Sim Racing at Gamers Bay 9

The Cayman Motoring Federation (CMF) proudly participated in the recent Gamers Bay 9 held at John Grey High School on September 27 & 28. introducing attendees to the thrill of motorsport through its brand-new Advanced SimRacing (ASR) rig. ASR is the Official Supplier to the FIA for Professional Sime Racing Installations. The event brought the excitement of real-world racing into the digital arena, giving Cayman’s youth a chance to experience high-performance motorsport technology.

“CMF's most recent event at Gamers Bay 9, proved that Sim or ESim racing is more than just a game. Sim racing offers Caymanian youths a unique and powerful blend of education and competition, said Rhondel Ramdath, Vice President of CMF. “It's a high-tech platform that rapidly develops crucial life skills like split-second decision-making under pressure, intensive focus, and data-driven problem-solving as they analyze telemetry and vehicle dynamics. Beyond the technical skills, it instils values of discipline, perseverance, and graceful sportsmanship, preparing them for real-world challenges both on the road and in future careers. It was well received by the general public, and we hope to continue working with the community to provide safe drivers as well as Cayman's future athletes.”

Many attendees at Gamers Bay 9 tested their skills on CMF’s cutting-edge simulator, but only three emerged as the fastest on the virtual track:

• 1st Place: Hunter Collier — 01:15.6
• 2nd Place: Tristan Powers — 01:16.7
• 3rd Place: Kavaun Green — 01:16.8

All three winners, aged 18–20, showcased incredible talent and precision under pressure.

Prizes awarded included:

• 3 × $100 Advanced Sim Racing Gift Cards

“Top drivers, including Max Verstappen, have often spoken about how realistic and competitive sim racing has become, noting that it mirrors much of what happens on the track,” said Dr. Ian Charlery, Chair of Esports for the Cayman Motoring Federation. “What we witnessed at Gamers Bay 9 reinforces that truth. Even children as young as 10 and 11 displayed skill levels that rivalled adults, proving that sim racing is more than just a game — it’s a platform for developing racing instincts and identifying future talent. For the Cayman Motoring Federation, this shows that esports can play a vital role in building the next generation of Caymanian drivers, lowering the barriers to entry and giving our community an accessible gateway into motorsport.”

CMF thanks Gamers Bay organizers, participants, and the community for supporting esports and motorsport innovation in the Cayman Islands. This initiative is part of CMF’s wider efforts to grow esports racing, grassroots motorsport, and STEM education programs that prepare young Caymanians for future careers in engineering, racing, and technology.
