The WRC has been working for many years with Fanatec, the maker of simulation racing equipment.
The collaboration would make the manufacturer an official partner for all the World Rally Championship esports activities.
The WRC esports Invitational event that took place in Monaco in January already provided Fanatec with the hardware for each other in 2020. Fanatec continues to be a sponsor of the #RaceAtHome WRC Weekly Challenge in WRC events as well.
Also called Fanatec’s WRC Weekly Challenge, the series gives computer racers the opportunity to compete on many occasions in the World Rally Championships.
