Lamborghini eSports announces second edition of The Real Race

Online gaming platforms have made competing in supercars more accessible and Lamborghini eSports takes the initiative for budding and experienced sim racers in a virtual racing league.

The first edition of Lamborghini eSports’ The Real Race in 2020 was a major success, attracting more than 2500 drivers from 109 countries. The competition returns for its second year in 2021, with a new and upgraded regional format featuring three tournaments across Europe, America and Asia. Once again, the world’s leading sim racers will compete driving a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO in the simulation racing game Assetto Corsa Competizione, to win an experience at Lamborghini Headquarters in Italy and the opportunity to become the first Lamborghini Official Sim Driver. Assetto Corsa Competizione was developed alongside car manufacturers and provides a dynamic platform for Lamborghini’s latest racing series. The game is also used by official Lamborghini Squadra Corse test and race drivers in their real-world preparations. Following 2020’s inaugural competition won by German sim racer Nils Naujoks, this year Lamborghini ESports offers a new global approach to The Real Race. Racers will compete both in traditional Grand Prix and in three Endurance races to earn points within their regional leaderboards. The supercar brand will fuel the sim racing community by creating an immersive eSports competition at the wheel of the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO, the three-times winning car of the Daytona 24 Hours. Lamborghini’s Centro Stile, its in-house design department, has created an exclusive race livery, which is customizable in 12 different versions by competitors.
