The French Simracer Team

Lucas Marino (CEO) and The French Simracer: A Journey of Passion and Innovation

The French Simracer was born in 2021 out of my passion for automotive competition. My name is Lucas Marino, and this passion has taken me on a journey for over 15 years, working as a mechanic in prestigious teams and participating in renowned championships such as Formula Renault, the World Endurance Championship, Formula 1, and Formula E.

Back home, the simulator became my way to continue this passion. Simulators have become increasingly important in racing teams to improve performance and analyze data before race days. After years of traveling, I decided to settle down and dedicate my expertise to Simracing.

Launch of The French Simracer

In 2021, I launched The French Simracer to share my experience and offer high-performance and realistic Simracing equipment. Our goal is to push the boundaries of virtual racing with personalized advice and quality equipment. We develop simulator accessories from A to Z, using the latest technologies to guarantee the best possible experience.

Commitment to Quality and Innovation

At The French Simracer, we are committed to offering the best to our customers. Our accessories are hand-assembled with attention to detail and quality, reflecting our true craftsmanship. We bring together all the necessary trades to design and manufacture wheels and displays, turning each idea into reality with the support of our passionate community.

In 2024, The French Simracer welcomes Jean-Marie Zmiro to our team to better serve you.

Jean-Marie Zmiro (COO): A Passion, a Journey

My name is Jean-Marie Zmiro, an IT professional and a motorsport enthusiast since my youth. My love for auto racing began long before I could drive, thanks to games like Monaco GP, GP2, and other titles of that era on PC. At 25, a memorable gift from my friends, a Logitech G25, replaced my old Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Racing Wheel, marking the start of a new era.

The Beginning of the Adventure

This is how I joined a team of friends, and we created our Simracing team in 2011. Our shared passion led us to participate in various competitions and make a name for ourselves in the field. Shortly after, I had the opportunity to join the European distributor of the RSeat brand, where I worked for 13 years. My role allowed me to stay close to customers, offering personalized service and cultivating relationships based on trust and satisfaction.

A New Chapter

2024 marks a decisive turning point in my life: turning 40, the arrival of my second child, and a move from Avignon to the lovely Vendée in the west coard of the country to be closer to my Family. With this change, I decided to join Lucas's ambitious project, The French Simracer. Together, our mission is to provide you with the best Simracing equipment, accompanied by quality service, filled with passion and proximity.
