Porsche and iRacing.
Porsche and Iracing have had collaborations in the past. However, this new tournament is the first step that they take towards establishing themselves firmly in esports. Previous collaborations include Porsche SimRacing Trophy, Nürburgring in September 2018 and the Porsche SimRacing Summit. The Summit is currently underway with drivers competing in a racing simulation at the Porsche Racing factory in Leipzig.
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.
