\u201cNetworking at Highspeed\u201d is the motto of the RCCO E-Sport Series, in which exciting people meet once a month for virtual races with the 1,000 hp eX ZERO and at the same time exchange ideas about motorsport and mobility topics \u2013 from now on also with the support of the Scherer Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The season 3 opener in Imola was dominated by Andre Dietzel (tv racing), Mike Rockenfeller (AvD) and Julius Martin (Martin Racing Team), who claimed the podium in both races. Starting from pole position, Andre Dietzel successfully fended off all attacks from guest driver Mike Rockenfeller in the red AvD car in Race 1. After a failed attack on the last lap, \u201cRocky\u201d even dropped back to third place behind Julius Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dietzel was responsible for motorsport communications at Volkswagen for many years and now works in product communications for the company. Martin is new to the RCCO family: the development engineer from Dresden can combine his passion for motorsport with the topic of sustainability, which also occupies him professionally, in the RCCO E-Sport Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As usual, the second race was turbulent, with the top ten starting in reverse order. On their way to the front, Rockenfeller, Dietzel and Martin had their hands full and had to survive some hair-raising situations. This time, the pro racing driver played his class to the full and took the win ahead of Dietzel and Martin, who battled for second place until the very end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was mega fun to be part of the E-Sport Series season opener,\u201d said DTM driver Mike Rockenfeller. \u201cThe level was great and the car was cool to drive on this track.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Rockenfeller is competing as a guest driver out of competition, Bodo Kr\u00e4ling (bspowersports) and Steffen Walter (tv racing) also managed to qualify for the Super Final on December 20 in addition to Dietzel and Martin. This will be contested by all drivers who achieved at least one podium result in season 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The race continues on October 4 at Portimao (Portugal). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
