<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Una delle serie in ambito motorsport fra le più spettacolari e combattute, ovvero quella TCR Series che fa capo a WSC Ltd, <a href="https://www.tcr-series.com/news/item/wsc-launches-global-sim-racing-programme" rel="external">annuncia oggi in via ufficiale</a> il lancio di un <a href="https://www.tcr-series.com/news/item/wsc-launches-global-sim-racing-programme" rel="external">intero programma SIM Racing globale targato TCR</a>, che consentirà a tutti i promotori dei campionati e serie TCR di organizzare gare virtuali con tutte le auto omologate TCR.
</p>

<p>
	"<em>Le misure di emergenza innescate dal coronavirus stanno interessando eventi sportivi su scala globale e hanno costretto tutti i nostri promotori autorizzati a rivedere i loro programmi, cancellando o rimandando eventi che avrebbero dovuto avvenire nella prima metà dell'anno. Al fine di mantenere impegnati sia i piloti che i fan fino a quando non sarà possibile tornare nuovamente in pista, il passo logico è stato quello di organizzare eventi di e-sport</em>", ha spiegato il presidente della WSC Marcello Lotti.
</p>

<p>
	"<em>Abbiamo quindi deciso di lanciare il programma ufficiale TCR SIM Racing, l'unico che presenterà tutte le auto omologate TCR. Attualmente stiamo negoziando con i promotori interessati per estendere il nostro accordo alle corse virtuali. La diffusione del coronavirus sta influenzando la vita e le attività di tutti noi. Dobbiamo mantenere le distanze per rimanere al sicuro, e quindi TCR SIM Racing servirà a mantenere unita la comunità TCR durante questi periodi di separazione sociale. Per il momento, corriamo a casa!</em> "
</p>

<p>
	Per i poco esperti del settore, specifichiamo che il TCR non ha nulla a che fare con il WTCR, la cui licenza fra l'altro, in ambito simulativo, è di proprietà di Sector3 su RaceRoom Racing Experience. Restati sintonizzati per ulteriori dettagli, che arriveranno a breve.<br>

	<em>Il simracing in questo momento di quarantena mondiale sta vivendo il suo periodo di definitiva consacrazione? Non si sa, certo è che le corse on line sono zeppe di concorrenti, il motorsport, quello vero, sta sostituendo il suo calendario reale con quello virtuale dove schiera (più o meno) gli stessi protagonisti della pista. Il risultato di tutto ciò? Considerando che ci stiamo apprestando a vivere una rivoluzione su tutto, anche il motorsport sarà rivoluzionato?</em>

<p><img src="https://www.drivingitalia.net/uploads/monthly_2020_03/986771799_legends1.jpg.996db3111e04fb815262a16f642da390.jpg" /></p>


<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Si è svolta ieri pomeriggio la spettacolare <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/champs/the-race-all-star-esports-arriva-il-legends-trophy-gara-28-marzo-ore-17-r25909/" rel="">gara online del Legends Trophy</a>, che ha visto in pista diverse vecchie glorie dell'automobilismo, che hanno offerto ovviamente un grande spettacolo. E' stato il quattro volte campione IndyCar Dario Franchitti il trionfatore finale, al debutto nel simracing esport, che a fine gara ha commentato: "Immenso divertimento e qualcosa di follemente avvincente".
</p>

<p>
	"Giocavo a Pole Position e cose del genere, quando avevo circa sei anni", ha detto Franchitti <a href="https://the-race.com/esports/franchitti-shocked-by-thrill-of-winning-legends-trophy/" rel="external">a The Race</a>. “Ma è così iper reale e divertente. Onestamente, la scarica di adrenalina dopo aver vinto è stata grande, sono rimasto davvero sorpreso. Probabilmente sono rimasto più scioccato da questo, sai, di fare una buona gara. È stato fantastico e farlo con quel gruppo di amici lo ha reso speciale e le macchine erano fantastiche.”
</p>

<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo" contenteditable="false">
	<div>
		<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" width="480" data-embed-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FAezgyNiDII?feature=oembed"></iframe>
	</div>
</div>

<p>
	La gara di Franchitti è iniziata in modo drammatico dopo che in prima fila Emanuele Pirro e Juan-Pablo Montoya si sono scontrati alla Copse nel giro di apertura. Ciò gli ha permesso di prendere la testa, che non ha mai lasciato, nonostante la significativa pressione di Turner. "Intorno al settimo giro o qualcosa del genere, all'improvviso ho pensato è meglio non sbagliare, sto guidando. Quindi ho dovuto concentrarmi nuovamente, è una specie di focus diverso dal guidare dal vero, rispetto al sim. Da quel momento stavo solo gestendo le cose, cercando di non sbagliare o lasciare che Darren si avvicinasse."
</p>

<p>
	Franchitti ha indicato la corsa contro il compagno vincitore della Indy 500 Emerson Fittipaldi, come un altro momento saliente dell'evento Legends Trophy, sottolineando che la leggenda delle corse ha effettivamente gareggiato contro la Brabham BT44 a Silverstone nel 1975, quando ha vinto un Gran Premio britannico in una McLaren M23.
</p>

<p>
	"Stavo seguendo Emmo ad un certo punto nella pratica, ha guidato contro questa macchina e quindi sa esattamente cosa deve affrontare. Scommetto che stava avendo dei flashback!"

</p>

<p>
	<em>The F1 season may still be on hold, but that won't stop Lando Norris from racing – and now he wants to take YOU on in a brand new Esports event, #ChallengeLando.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>This Sunday the McLaren star will be taking on a series of racing challenges on Codemasters F1 2019 game, and you could be among the racers battling him on track - read on for details on how to get involved. All the action will be broadcast live here on F1.com, on F1's YouTube and Facebook channels, and on Twitch – at 2000 GMT.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>For each challenge win Lando will receive points towards a final score, with a total of 15 points up for grabs – but he will go into the event without knowing who he will be facing...</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em><strong>The challenges</strong></em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>Challenge 1 – Pro-Am Race Off: An eight-minute race against a celebrity. Norris will face-off against a famous personality who has had at least 48 hours of prep time to get to grips with the game. The celebrity will also receive a headstart, with two points up for grabs for the F1 driver if he wins.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>Challenge 2 – Young Pretender: In an 8 minute race, Lando will race against an up-and-coming junior on the Road to F1. The twist? They'll both start at the back of a packed grid of AI racers. It's three points if Norris manages to finish ahead of the junior racer.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>Challenge 3 – Race Off / Face Off: In this hardcore contest, our F1 driver will face off against another pro-racer – either from F1 or another series – who fancies themselves as an Esports contender. Four points are up for grabs here.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>Challenge 4 - Lando's Challenge: The McLaren star will be taking on an epic challenge in the virtual world that has already been achieved in the real world – with members of the public taking up the rest of the grid. To be in with a chance of going up against Lando in this race, reply to this tweet with your Steam username.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>Norris will have to start in 14th place at Suzuka and win the race, just as Ayrton Senna did in 1988 when he dropped from pole to P14 and had to fight his way back up to win the title.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>Other amazing feats from that Japanese Grand Prix that Norris will aim for include being eighth by the end of Lap 2, in P4 by the end of Lap 4, and win the race by at least 13 seconds. He'll get three points for winning and one point for achieving each of these other challenges.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>So don't forget to tune in, this Sunday at 2000 GMT, and see how Lando gets on!</em>

Saranno invitati a partecipare piloti del mondo reale, celebrità e sim driver professionisti, mentre l'evento includerà anche cinque piloti jolly scelti attraverso una fase pubblica di hot-lap, che si aprirà dal 23 al 26 marzo. Qui di seguito la lista completa dei piloti in pista.
</p>

<p>
	Il coinvolgimento dei fan sarà parte integrante dell'evento, che sarà trasmesso in streaming in diretta sulla pagina YouTube di GT World e sui social media, incluso il nuovo canale Twitch del gruppo SRO Motorsports. La domenica inizierà con le prove libere alle 10.00 CET e le qualifiche alle 13:15 CET, prima che la gara prenda il via alle 14.00 CET.

	Il <a href="http://gotransam.com/" rel="external">campionato americano Trans Am</a> è l'ultimo in ordine di tempo a rivolgersi al simracing esport come soluzione alla mancanza di corse nel mondo reale. La serie proporrà il suo primo evento virtuale proprio questa sera, a partire dalle ore 21 italiane, al posto di quello che avrebbe dovuto essere il secondo round della serie 2020 a Road Atlanta. Saranno ben 31 i piloti in pista sulla versione virtuale di <a href="http://gotransam.com/news/Trans-Am-Series-Drivers-Ready-for-Lime-Rock-Showdown/70294" rel="external">Lime Rock in rFactor 2</a>, tutti a bordo della Chevrolet Camaro GT3 del 2012. Sarà possibile seguire l'evento in diretta, grazie al canale ufficiale UMG <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/UMGEVENTS" rel="external">YouTube</a> e <a href="https://m.twitch.tv/umggaming/profile" rel="external">Twitch</a>.

			For the first time since the season opener at Sebring International Raceway earlier this month, the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli will hit the track, but on a different field of play. On Saturday, March 28, current, former, and even future Trans Am Series drivers from all five Trans Am classes will come together on the virtual stage to compete in the inaugural Trans Am by Pirelli Showdown at Lime Rock Park.
		</p>

		<p style="background-color:#ffffff; color:#4c4c4c; font-size:16px; padding:0px; text-align:start">
			A full lineup of drivers- including Trans Am regulars Ernie Francis Jr. and Scott Lagasse Jr., as well as up-and-coming Trans Am drivers like Adrian Wlostowski and Thomas Merrill- are slated to participate in the eSports event. The race, set for a 4 PM ET start on Saturday, will feature the 2012 Camaro GT3 car on the rFactor 2 Simulator platform.
		</p>

		<p style="background-color:#ffffff; color:#4c4c4c; font-size:16px; padding:0px; text-align:start">
			To even the playing field, all cars will be prepared identically with spec trim. “Taking Trans Am racing to the virtual world is a historic move for the series,” said The Trans Am Racing Company President John Clagett. “We miss racing just as much as our fans and drivers, and with the help of our app team, NAGRA,  Sim partner Torque eSports, our media production team, GreenLight.TV, and rFactor 2 Simulator, we will be able to deliver exciting Trans Am racing to a global market during this extended break.”  
		</p>

		<p style="background-color:#ffffff; color:#4c4c4c; font-size:16px; padding:0px; text-align:start">
			Live coverage begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern with live commentary from Jonathan Green and Ben Cissell, starting with a swift 10-minute qualifying session followed by two 20-minute main events. For added excitement, the second event will feature an inverted field.
		</p>

		<p style="background-color:#ffffff; color:#4c4c4c; font-size:16px; padding:0px; text-align:start">
			Fans can stream the action by downloading the FREE Trans Am by Pirelli app and via UMGGaming on Twitch <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sundaymanagement.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3Da33ba08d163385b4a77fabf6c%26id%3De268a09a35%26e%3D74b4b08469&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1585345474217000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGszg1vXEEYwQz7nDzEcXmSU5E2YA" href="https://sundaymanagement.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a33ba08d163385b4a77fabf6c&amp;id=e268a09a35&amp;e=74b4b08469" style="background-color:transparent; color:#f1b619; padding:0px" target="_blank" rel="external">https://www.twitch.tv/<wbr style="padding:0px">umggaming</wbr></a>.

	In questo periodo di emergenza da pandemia, fra i tanti simulatori che hanno organizzato eventi e gare online, facendo partecipare da casa simdrivers e piloti reali forzatamente a "riposo", mancava solamente <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/78328-dirt-rally-2-in-derapata-a-febbraio-2019-con-codemasters/page/22/#comments" rel="">DiRT Rally 2.0</a>. La Codemasters rimedia oggi a questa mancanza, lanciando il <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/78328-dirt-rally-2-in-derapata-a-febbraio-2019-con-codemasters/page/22/#comments" rel="">World RX Esports Invitational</a>, ovvero un torneo online esport dedicato alla specialità del rally cross, che vedrà in pista anche alcuni piloti reali della specialità. La fase di qualificazione per i piloti virtuali inizia già domani, 28 Marzo.

<p>
	Sulla scia di quanto <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/champs/f1-virtual-grand-prix-series-round-1-in-bahrain-gara-22-marzo-ore-21-r25892/" rel="">già fatto dalla Formula 1</a>, anche se <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/champs/f1-virtual-grand-prix-bahrain-uno-spettacolo-quasi-indecente-r25899/" rel="">speriamo con risultati decisamente migliori</a>, anche la MotoGP si prepara per lanciare una gara virtuale sul proprio videogioco con licenza ufficiale, ovvero MotoGP the game.
</p>

<p>
	I piloti che hanno già confermato la loro presenza all'evento sono il campione in carica Marc Marquez, Maverick Viñales, Fabio Quartararo e Alex Rins. La gara, dopo 5 minuti di qualifica, durerà sei giri e si svolgerà al Mugello. I piloti scenderanno virtualmente in pista il prossimo <strong>29 marzo, alle 15:00 ora italiana</strong> e sarà possibile seguire l'evento sul canale YouTube ufficiale della MotoGP (qui sotto).

	La MotoGP non è nuova ad eventi virtuali, visto che gestisce una <a href="https://esport.motogp.com/" rel="external">serie ufficiale esport</a> già dal 2017. Proprio in questi giorni, è in corso la fase di qualificazione al pro-draft online, con i giocatori che devono far segnare il best lap su una determinata pista e con un certo pilota. Gli eventi dal vivo (Coronavirus permettendo) dovrebbero iniziare a maggio al Mugello e nel fine settimana del Gran Premio d'Italia.
