Audi Factory Driver Mike Rockenfeller has initiated a virtual racing series under the 'RaceHome' hashtag, which will be held on the PlayStation 4 with the fully-electric Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo. Proceeds will be used for a good cause.
Once a week, fans of the Audi brand and SimRacing professionals will be competing against the six Audi DTM drivers: Loic Duval, Jamie Green, Nico Muller, Robin Frijns, Rene Rast and Mike Rockenfeller.
Audi is deliberately going its own way with 'RaceHome', focusing on sports cars with electric drive, and is therefore in line with Audi's focus topic in the change of mobility. The brand have decided on a console game because of the particularly large community it can reach in this way.
PlayStation Network members have the opportunity to compete against the Audi DTM stars on 'RaceHome'. They can win a spot on the grid each week by developing and publishing a design for the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo in conjunction with 'AudiTogether' and 'WeStayHome'. The most creative design will win. The jury consists of the six Audi DTM drivers.
There are many freelancers in motorsport who have lost their income from one day to the next and are fearing for their own existence, hence it will be possible to bid for a spot on the grid every week.
All of the races of the 'RaceHome' charity racing series can be watched from VisionRCCO's streaming channel on Twitch here. The first race is on 22 April 2020 at 2:00am Singapore time.
