ESPORTS WTCR OSCARO ONLINE CHAMPIONSHIP SET FOR LIFT-OFF
*Seven-event calendar includes legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife and Macau
*Time attacks from 15 August, first races at Hungaroring on 26 August
*All full-season WTCR OSCARO cars and drivers available
The Esports WTCR OSCARO Online Championship from RaceRoom will feature seven exciting rounds from later this month.
A PC-based racing simulation available on Steam, ESPORTS WTCR
OSCARO was launched at the Nürburgring in May and will give simracers
the chance to compete in the virtual WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup
presented by OSCARO.
It’s the continuation of a partnership between Eurosport Events –
the WTCR OSCARO promoter – RaceRoom and Sector3 Studios, which began in
2013 and culminated in inaugural eSports WTCC Online Championship in
2017.
The Esports WTCR OSCARO Online Championship is made up of two
elements: seven rounds of time attack from 15 August until 6 November
and a Multiplayer Championship.
Multiplayer races will be streamed live on the the FIA WTCR OSCARO
Facebook and YouTube accounts with graphics and expert commentary. All
races will be held on Sunday evenings from 19h00 CET with the first
event taking place at a virtual Hungaroring on Sunday 26 August.
All cars from full-season entries competing in the WTCR – FIA
World Touring Car Cup presented by OSCARO are available and selected
WTCR OSCARO drivers are expected to take part.
They include Yann Ehrlacher, a race winner in WTCR OSCARO this
season with the Honda-powered ALL-INKL.COM Münnich Motorsport team.
“Esports WTCR OSCARO is a very good thing because it gives people around
the people around the world the chance to live something close to what
we live,” said the 22-year-old from France. “For sure I will take part
because it’s also really good training for racing drivers and we know
the level of simracers is very high.”
François Ribeiro, Head of Eurosport Events, the WTCR promoter,
said: “We’re really excited the first Esports WTCR OSCARO Online
Championship is about to get underway. Our partner, RaceRoom, has been
hard at work behind the scenes to prepare all the cars and tracks since
our launch event at the Nürburgring in May and the end result is very
good indeed. If we consider two WTCR OSCARO drivers, Norbert Michelisz
and Zsolt Szabó, are products of simracing then there’s every chance we
could discover the next Michelisz or Szabó during the upcoming seven
events. I’m sure the real WTCR OSCARO teams will be watching with
interest.”
OSCARO, the Official Presenting Partner of the WTCR – FIA World
Touring Car Cup, actively participates in simracing and its involvement
in Esports WTCR further underlines that commitment.
