GT Omega Partners with Jardier for 2026
What started out as a small, simple conversation about sim racing several years ago has grown naturally into one of our longest running partnerships. It's crazy how things pan out! Now with the 2026 season officially underway and Jardier piloting a KTM on the real-world grid, we are proud to celebrate another year with the legend himself, Jaroslav Honzik.
Who Is Jardier?
If you have spent any time in the sim racing world, you already know the name. Jaroslav "Jardier" Honzik is a Czech sim racer, content creator, streamer, and real-world racing driver with a massive global community built on a genuine mutual love for motorsport.
What makes Jardier's story stand out is his pure dedication to the craft. He built his channel from the ground up, establishing himself as one of the most trusted and welcoming voices in the sim racing scene. Whether he is streaming gruelling endurance races or breaking down complex track guides, his content is nothing short of entertaining and engaging.
But Jaroslav isn't just a sim racer. His transition from the sim rig to an actual racing car is where the hard work truly shows. He has successfully taken his talents to the real-world grid, competing in high-profile championships and proving that the skills sharpened on a simulator translate directly to the real track. Jardier is a prime example that gaming isn't just a "waste of time", it's an important tool when used correctly.
Why GT Omega?
Choosing who represents our brand is not something we take lightly. But when it came to Jardier, it was a no-brainer. Understanding who he is as a person made us realise his values directly line up with ours.
His general approach of "sim racing is for everyone" is something we've echoed for years and is a fundamental belief GT Omega swears by. Over time, this shared vision has only strengthened and grown, and is instrumental in driving both GT Omega and Jardier forward. That commitment goes beyond the rig. We've built a limited edition Jardier merchandise range for the community that has been with him from the very beginning.
Getting Race Ready
When you are prepping for a real race weekend, having the right tools to practice is a must. Jardier racks up his training hours using a GT Omega PRIME Cockpit and an XL-RS Racing Seat.
The PRIME Cockpit is designed to withstand anything you throw at it. Whether you're running a high-torque wheelbase like the MOZA R25 Ultra or slamming on the brakes, the PRIME Cockpit has what it takes. Pair this with the XL-RS, a classic GT Omega Racing Seat that's a community favourite, and you have a solid foundation to just forget about the hardware entirely and get lost in the driving.
What's Next?
The 2026 season has already kicked off, but this is just the start of what we have planned. Throughout the year, we will be following Jardier's progress in the competitive GT Cup Series, bringing you closer to the action with behind-the-scenes content and real-world racing highlights.
We've also put together a limited edition Jardier merchandise collection, designed for the Jardier community. Whether you're watching from home or cheering him on at the track, it's the perfect way to rep your favourite sim racer. Browse the Jardier collection.
