Joining FanastiCon will be Sarah Johnson (AKA Symyoulater), a trans streamer and Esports sim racer, who will be bringing her amazing sim rig that she races with at home which will be twinned with a second rig so the public can participate in a full VR game of ‘cops and robbers’!
Gayming Magazine is proud to be supporting Sarah in this season’s racing and honoured to have our logo on her car’s trans-flag inspired livery.
