Through its Axle Academy, it coaches sim racers with courses curated by Yoong, and it runs the eRacing Grand Prix (eRacing GP) competition series, including Southeast Asia finals.
A talent pipeline
Axle Sports is one of the two clearest anchors of Malaysian sim racing (alongside the Toyota GR GT Cup Malaysia). It is where Yoong discovered the Azlan brothers — talent that went on from the simulator to real-world racing — making the academy a genuine sim-to-real pipeline.
