Porsche indgår partnerskab med iRacing i forbindelse med World Championship Series

Porsche har afsløret, at de vil indgå samarbejde med iRacing angående en ny omgang World Championship Series, der vil inkludere mere end 40 forskellige deltagere på tværs af hele kloden og have hele 100.000 dollars på højkant til vinderen.

Turneringen består af 10 weekender og vil foregå udelukkende online, og de kvalificerende runder starter allerede næste måned, efterfulgt af flere måneders konkurrence. Tiltaget er endnu et i rækken af flere samarbejdsaftaler imellem Porsche ogi Racing, som har arbejdet sammen siden September 2017.

"Porsche is more and more involved with esports and racing simulations. Putting together a world championship like this one is important evidence of our increasing commitment to the sport," comments Dr. Kjell Gruner, Vice President Marketing at Porsche. To coordinate the event, the Zuffenhausen-based sports car manufacturer collaborated with iRacing, a leading provider of realistic online racing simulations that has been putting on world championships for ten years. The competition will take place under this title for the first time, as a completely new series with competitors racing from all around the world, connecting through the iRacing service.
