There are an incredible amount of professions in the world, with one of the least well known being professional RC Racer. Due to it being unknown, the PRRG (Professional RC Racer Group) has manage to convince most people that their members actually work hard.
A whistle blower within the group, who has been working full time as an RC Racer for well over a decade, has spoken out against this missleading propaganda, which is intended to falsely inflate wages.
”We would always take the whole week off after a big event, unless there was another event the following week end. In that case we would only take 3 days off” the whistle blower said.
He went on to explain that the manufacturers who pay the drivers don’t place any requirements on the drivers, other than a calendar of races, and that most paid drivers ”never win anything of significance”.
Another professional racer said:
”Most days I wake up at 10am and go on instagram for an hour or two. I have breakfast, and I might work on my RC cars. I don’t really have time to practice because I race too much. It’s hard work”
