Ben Warren is a British sim-racer from Oxfordshire, England, and is founder of the Triple-Double Racing team.

Ben is currently a test/reserve driver for Nijo Racing in the Superleague and previously competed for Constant Racing, ST Racing and Triple-Double Racing.

Beginnings

Warren began his online racing career in 2008, racing in some smaller leagues hosted at [1] using the 'F1 Challenge 99-02' game, along with current and former GPVWC drivers such as Tom Parker, Chris Williamson, David Jundt, Simon Cattell and Scott Bennett. Warren and co. then progressed to rFactor for future seasons, and still race using various different mods today.

Warren was born with a rare disability called Sacral Agenesis, meaning the bottom of Warren's spine did not form before birth, leaving him paralysed from the waist down, and is a full-time wheelchair user. Despite his disability, Warren uses a Thrustmaster RGT FFB Wheel, which has 4 paddles on the back of the wheel, 2 of which are progressive paddles which he uses for the throttle and brake, and uses the other 2 paddles for shifting gears. Despite his difficulties, Warren is a proud disabled sim-racer, and prides himself on being able to race his able-bodied counterparts to the best of his abilities.
