Who's behind the wheel

Built by a Ranger who never stopped chasing the apex.

Academy Sim Racing was founded by Duncan Conner, a former U.S. Army Ranger who served four combat deployments across Iraq and Afghanistan with the 75th Ranger Regiment, then moved into communications roles supporting special operations at the highest levels of command. That work doesn't leave much room for missed details.

He runs the shop the same way. After leaving the service he took that discipline to the track as a licensed wheel-to-wheel competitor and an instructor for several racing organizations, setting track records at Homestead and Barber Motorsports Park along the way. He still races: the Alliance Racing TT3 350Z with his name on the door.
