About Reality 2 Sim Studios
The story behind our passion for virtual racing
Our Story
Reality 2 Sim Studios was founded by two passionate high school students from South East Queensland, Australia: Tyan Ballment and Xander Sharp. What started as a shared love for racing and technology has evolved into a studio committed to bringing real-life circuits into the virtual world.
Our journey began with our flagship project, the Gold Coast 500, which remains a collaborative effort that showcases our dedication to accuracy and immersion. Tyan Ballment created the Reality 2 Sim name and expanded operations to branch out into the karting scene, recognizing the importance of grassroots motorsport in the racing community.
