Summit1g Challenges Lando Norris

Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar is so confident in his iRacing abilities that he challenged Formula 1 McLaren sensation Lando Norris to a Twitch battle – but only under certain conditions.

Summit1g has been immersed in the world of iRacing since revealing his mind-blowing $7500 racing simulator setup. With a little help from his friend, Indy Car champion Tony Kanaan, he’s been dominating. His confidence in his Mazda MX-5 on the Oulton Park Circuit has soared to the point where he believes he can beat Formula 1 McLaren sensation Lando Norris. He issued the challenge when fans told him otherwise.

During a recent stream, Summit1g stated; “Listen. Let me just say something. I’m confident enough in my MX-5 game that if Lando Norris came to the track and only had five minutes of practice, I’m pretty sure that I’d beat him in five laps.” When some of his viewers weren’t convinced, he responded stating; “You don’t think so? Is he that insane? Is he on that level? Impossible to beat? Five minutes on this track I’ve spent a week on. You don’t think I can beat him for five laps?”

Summit1g issued the challenge after pondering it for a few moments saying, “Do you think he knows this track by heart already? Absolutely no chance. I need to know. Where is he, man? Doing his F1 career and sh*t.”

Norris has had a strong start to the Formula 1 season. He is presently ranked fifth in the Driver Standings for 2021. He frequently streams on Twitch while he is not racing. He’s also quite active, with over a million subscribers to his YouTube account. There’s a chance he’ll accept Summit1g’s challenge.  However, we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
