Online Racing events

[Rogue Leader]

Since we are all trapped inside, clearly Online racing has become the newest spectator sport. NASCAR, IndyCar, IMSA, and F1 have all set up events. Another event is coming featuring GT racing in Assetto Corsa Competizione, which IMO is the most realistic. They had a charity event a couple weeks ago that was really good. Heres the info:

SRO America Racers Set to Battle in New GT Rivals Esports Invitational

* Racers across SRO America series get ready to compete in the official game of GT World Challenge powered by AWS - Assetto Corsa Competizione. * A weekly esports invitational to take place every Sunday at 3pm ET. * Streamed live on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook

The event is over, but I think SCS Software (creators of ETS2 and ATS) did a really good event. It's not about real life racing going online, it's about online driving going real life . They tried encouraging people to stay at home with their "truckathome" event, giving gamekeys away for every 20 million online km driven, and they pledged to help people who are fighting the virus. I saw a post somewhere that they delivered food and other goods to hospitals. That's something I think they're doing really well.
