As teased in yesterday's trailer, today we fully unveil a special streaming event we'll be running on Eurogamer in the coming months. It's a racing championship put together by our friends at Eurogamer Italy, who often run competitive events on their Twitch channel - this time, they decided to go big, and asked our help to promote it, which we gladly agreed to. Here's the event organiser, Matteo, to explain:As you may have guessed from yesterday's trailer, the Eurogamer Assetto Corsa Championship will be a live event played on the Kunos simulator, and broadcast with English commentary on Eurogamer Italy's Twitch channel. This will be no ordinary event: it has taken six months to prepare it, and to put together a line-up of sponsors and teams. We partnered with SimracingZone.net, a portal that has managed sim-racing events since 2007, and it's thanks to their expertise that we've been able to produce a sim-racing event like this.
You can see the full calendar in the box to the left: starting from 8th March, 24 of the very best European sim-racers have been invited to race against each other in one of the most fearsome cars ever conceived by man, the legendary Lotus 98T driven by Ayrton Senna in the 1986 Formula 1 championship. It's undoubtedly one of the most challenging cars to drive in any sim, not just Assetto Corsa. The chance to trim the turbo pressure can send this rocket on wheels to insane speeds, but not before biting the ego of the drivers that abuse its throttle with savage surges of turbo lag.
