\u201cNetworking @ Highspeed\u201d is the motto of the RCCO E-Sport Series. The virtual counterpart to the \u201cbig small\u201d RCCO slot car racing series was held for the first time in 2020. Season 2 begins on January 18, 2021 \u2013 and with two innovations: The RCCO community is switching from PlayStation to PC and from the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo to the new eX ZERO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 1,000 hp electric race car was developed by RCCO E-Sport AG for the new RCCO World eX Championship, which starts at the end of February. On board: professional racers like Romain Grosjean and the world’s fastest Esports racing specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RCCO E-Sport Series has a different target audience. \u201cThe RCCO stands for networking of a different kind,\u201d says RCCO founder Thomas Voigt. \u201cFor 30 years, our slot car races have featured exciting people from motorsports, the automotive industry, marketing and the media. It should be the same with the RCCO E-Sport Series. It’s not a racing series for professionals, but it’s still a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt’s great that the RCCO also appeals to this target group,\u201d says Marcel Offermanns, CEO of rFactor 2 developer Studio 397. \u201cParticipants will have a lot of fun with the eX ZERO. It’s a real driving machine \u2013 electric racing in the extreme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RCCO E-Sport Series is the first racing series officially licensed to use the eX ZERO. The first two races will take place before the RCCO World eX Championship kicks off. In total, season two will consist of five events from January to May with a total of ten races and a Super Final on the N\u00fcrburgring-Nordschleife. Season three will be held from August to December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michael Niemas from Team Niemas Racecars eSports will be the defending champion. Due to the system change, the starting field will change somewhat compared to the premiere season. In the process, former RCCO Slotcar Series participants such as Volkswagen communicator Andre Dietzel and motorsport photographer Bodo Kr\u00e4ling will find their way back to the RCCO. \u201cAnd this time I don’t have to drive from the Sauerland region to Hamburg and back every time to do it,\u201d Kr\u00e4ling says with a wink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A maximum of 22 vehicles are allowed in the RCCO E-Sport Series races. Priority will be given to drivers who have registered by January 1, 2021. Two starting places are reserved for guest drivers. All races will be streamed live. Commentator will be Oliver Sittler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Potential newcomers to the industry will be interested in weekly \u201ctaster courses\u201d, which will be held on Mondays from 8 p.m. until the start of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
