R8G eSports, French Formula One driver Romain Grojean’s sim racing team, has partnered with Acer Predator. 

Acer’s gaming brand will provide R8G eSports with desktop PCs and other peripherals, while the team’s cars will feature Predator branding during different sim racing events, including the Le Mans 24 hours race. R8G eSports drivers will also be creating content for Acer Predator. 

Discussing the partnership R8G eSports’ founder, Romain Grojean, said:

“Launching my own sim racing team is a proud moment because I’m passionate about motorsport, innovation and embracing new challenges.

“The main goal of the R8G Sim Racing Team is to develop drivers that have the potential to race for real which is an exciting prospect. We’re proud to have the best-of-the-best gaming gear with Predator onboard to become the best-of-the-best in sim racing as we bridge the gap between the virtual and real racing worlds.”

While Vice President of Marketing at Acer Europe, Hajo Blingen, added:

“We have chosen to enter the sim racing scene enabling us to connect with new audiences from the virtual racing world, but also from the real racing world.

“Virtual racing represents a very emotional brand experience and supports us communicating the fascination for gaming technology to a new target group of ever-growing eSports fans. We are excited to support Romain Grosjean to build a world-class sim racing team.”

R8G eSports is also partnered with mindmaze, Soccercoin, Praga, Richard Mille, iBanFirst, Sim Lab, GoPro, Triple A E-Sports, and Heusinkveld. 

AYO.NEWS says:

Sim racing has benefited massively from the COVID-19 global sports shut down, with mainstream coverage exploding and introducing many new fans to esports, so we expect we’ll see more brands take an interest over the coming months.
