THE PERSON BEHIND IT
MEET BEN

A BUILDER.
A STORYTELLER.
STILL EXPLORING.

I'm Ben Kim. I build apps, make videos for YouTube and brands, and spend a lot of my free time learning about motorsport.

I've worked on consumer apps, robotics, race cars, films, and telemetry tools.

MY MOTTO

“Always shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will be heading to the stars.”

Mercedes-AMG GT3 / Spa Telemetry

I've spent hundreds of hours driving the Mercedes-AMG GT3 at Spa in Assetto Corsa. I built a dashboard to compare my laps, test setups, and see where I'm gaining or losing time.

BEYOND THE LAPTOP

ALWAYS CHASING
THE NEXT CORNER.

I've become more interested in the engineering and data behind making a car faster. I worked with MSU Baja Racing and have spent hundreds of hours sim racing while studying vehicle dynamics and race engineering.

Lately, I've been exporting my Assetto Corsa laps and building tools to see exactly where I gain or lose time.

MY DRIVING. MY DATA.

HUNDREDS OF HOURS.
THOUSANDS OF KILOMETERS.

I've spent hundreds of hours driving the Mercedes-AMG GT3 at Spa-Francorchamps in Assetto Corsa. I've tested dozens of setups to find one that suits how I drive, and I wanted to know exactly where I was gaining and losing time.

I study vehicle dynamics and export my laps to compare braking, throttle, steering, and racing lines corner by corner. The dashboard helps me see whether a setup change actually made me faster.
