Fanatec keeps strengthening their ties with more and more real life teams. This time is the esports Alfa Romeo branch which will enjoy Fanatec hardware to practice and race. Below the press note with all details.
Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports will take another step forward as Fanatec, the leading sim racing hardware brand, joins the team in a partnership for the 2021 season. The Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports drivers will be able to practice and race with the Fanatec Podium Racing Wheel F1 and CSL Elite Pedals with CSL Elite Pedals Loadcell Kit, the golden standard in esports, giving them the most immersive, realistic and true-to-life experience possible.
With more than 20 years of experience at the forefront of sim racing, Fanatec produces the most advanced steering wheels, pedals and complete cockpits for PC and consoles; they are also the official hardware partner of the F1 Esports Pro Series, giving our drivers the opportunity to practice on the same equipment they will race at the highest level of F1 competition.
Fanatec branding will be prominent on the Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports team kit, as well as on the steering wheels used by the team. The Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports team will compete in the F1 Esports Pro Series with the aim to improve on the second place in last year’s championship, a season in which the team also claimed the Drivers’ Championship.
