Less than nine hours from now, the next stage in Real-Time Racing’s beta test phase will be launched as 5000 beta testers will be racing against real race driver Bas Leinders.
For the first time ever, sim racers will virtually join a practice session of the FIA GT championship as Leinders will be driving his iOpener enabled Ford GT in the series’ practice session at Zolder tomorrow morning, chased by real and virtual competitors. In anticipation of the event, iOpener has released for high resolution previews of the Ford GT car that will be used in the session tomorrow.
The event is another puzzle piece in my earlier-voiced theory on how iOpener’s and Simbin’s efforts could very well lead to a new FIA GT simulation. Earlier this month, iOpener staff was present at the FIA GT’s Paul Ricard round and the permission to have iOpener’s technology installed and used during an official FIA GT practice session hints towards a growing partnership of all parties involved.
If you??re interested to join the RTR beta test in the future, you can pre-register for a beta key here, new keys will be giving out on a regular basis.
