Il Network Motorsport, al quale fa capo anche la nota testata inglese Autosport, ha appena annunciato di aver acquisito la Virtually Entertained, società specializzata nei servizi esport e simracing situata presso il circuito di Silverstone.
Motorsport Network's Global Head of Esports, Stephen Hood explained, "We are already involved in two major esport series, in NASCAR through our ownership of 704Games who developed our game for the eNASCAR Heat Pro League and our joint venture in the Le Mans Esports Series. With this latest acquisition, we are delivering on our firm commitment to offer the most complete esport capability to the benefit of both our clients and the global audiences we entertain."
Eric Ward, who leads Motorsport Network's strategic acquisitions as its Innovation Director said, "Virtually Entertained is a young, smart business that has cleverly identified a great service portfolio amid the huge growth we are witnessing in esport. By aligning their capabilities with the power of Motorsport Network and our existing esport engagements, we have a great opportunity to take our audiences on this new journey."
