Logitech McLaren G Challenge Will See Gaming and Racing Fans from Around
the World Battle it Out on Project CARS 2
Building on
the success of previous Logitech G Challenge eRacing competitions, Logitech G, a brand of Logitech, and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear,
alongside McLaren, the racing and technology brand and creator of luxury, high
performance sports cars and supercars, today announced the 3rd Annual Logitech McLaren G Challenge 2020.
“Over the last few months,
we’ve seen an explosion in eRacing,” said Jim Hoey, Head of G Challenge at
Logitech G. "It's clear that the line between virtual and real racing has
been blurred, and now more than ever people everywhere have access to an
incredible racing experience. With the Logitech McLaren G Challenge 2020, we’ve
upped the ante. The season has been extended to
include even more adrenaline-fueled racing, and the drivers will be battling
for bigger prizes. We can’t wait to get started.”
The stakes
have been raised for this year's G Challenge. This year’s winner will earn a four-day all-expenses paid trip to London,
where they’ll get a behind-the-scenes experience at McLaren including a tour of
the McLaren Technology Centre, coaching from internationally-renowned race car
driver Lando Norris, a drive in a McLaren supercar and a VIP experience at the
F1® British Grand Prix 2021.
The Logitech McLaren G
Challenge is divided into four divisions - North America, Latin America, Europe
and Asia Pacific - that will each host online qualifiers and/or wildcard events
throughout the summer of 2020. The winners of these events will go on to
compete in their division’s regional finals. The top three racers from each
division will then compete in the worldwide grand finals.
The Challonge Tournament
Integration Service is driving global player registration, automated
timekeeping across multiple platforms, and point tracking for the entire
Logitech McLaren G Challenge’s Global Online Qualifier. The Logitech McLaren G
Challenge online qualifiers, wildcards and regional finals will all be played
on Project CARS 2. Regional finalists will win a spot in the grand final and
paid travel for themselves and a guest to the competition.
