“We’re thrilled to partner with Mercedes-AMG Motorsport as partner for Season One of the Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Virtual Championship. The Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Virtual Championship is everything sim racing should be – competitive, diverse, global, and deeply connected to real motorsport. With the series running across ACC (on console and PC), GT7, iRacing, and RENNSPORT, it will be the most accessible championship in the world, and we’re excited to watch the sim racing community compete for the incredible prizes – and to award an Elite-series cockpit to one of the top-3 finishers.” – Hess Ghah, CEO of Next Level Racing®
This year’s Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Virtual Championship is already a hotly-contested and thrilling competition. On-track action has already begun after a tight qualification phase – with thousands of hot-lap sessions logged at the Mercedes-AMG Fan Zones at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 24 Hours of Nürburgring race weekends, and online via in-game competitions across the various platforms.
