Virtual championship to be introduced

By

Eurosport and SimBin Studios announces the V-WTCC, the Virtual World Touring Car Championship. A unique motor sport concept combining the best out of two worlds: the FIA WTCC and the SimBin game RACE 07 online and on site.

During five semi-finals held at the European WTCC events, gamers will fight on site for a seat in the Grand Finale at the FIA WTCC race meeting in Monza.

Just like WTCC the virtual counterpart V-WTCC will be broadcast on Eurosport within the youth-oriented programme BUZZ.

Each round will kick off with an online pre-qualifying period and all current and future RACE 07 owners will have instant access from the game menu to the in-game registration for V-WTCC.

More information about the pre-qualifying and opening of the virtual paddock will be announced at www.fiawtcc.com.
