Five of the world’s fastest sim racers will get the chance to race head-to-head against real-world racing legends at the Race Of Champions next month.
The winner of the McLaren World’s Fastest Gamer competition, Rudy van Buren, has been invited to contest the real-world ROC event, which takes place in Saudi Arabia on February 2-3.

He will be joined by the winner of the first-ever eRace Of Champions – created in association with Logitech G.

The eROC will be contested virtually across the Assetto Corsa game and in the real world around the ROC Skills Challenge Course and Parallel Track in the King Fahd Stadium.

Other world-class gamers to get a shot are Brendon Leigh, the first ever F1 eSports champion, along with triple Project CARS world champion Kevin Leaune, iRacing Blancpain GT3 Sprint champion and multiple world record holder in Assetto Corsa and F1 2017 Enzo Bonito, and 2017 eWTCC champion Alexander Dornieden.

Interesting... They'll get thrashed by the real drivers, but cool to see various sim racing championships get a platform.

I remember doing a mini competition with an old rfactor mod of the Stade de France arena crossover track, amazing fun!
