Motorsport.com has published an interview with Gerard Neveu, former WEC CEO and current Motorsport Games Advisor. He talks about incoming developments, this year LeMans Virtual event and agreements between ACO and MGS revealing the game.
After buying rFactor and securing licenses of many different disciplines, one could think to rFactor 2 should be the place where everything should grow, but apparently this is not going to happen.
“First, in an agreement between Motorsport Games, Le Mans and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, I can tell you that we will have a dedicated video game targeted to launch in 2023 – to coincide with the centenary of the Le Mans 24 Hours.
“This is under development, and we have a dedicated team working very hard on it. It will reflect the ambience of sportscar racing and this magical event, I’m sure all sportscar fans will find it very interesting.
“Until then, we shall also develop the Le Mans Virtual into a series of races, a regular esports championship similar to the WEC format. We will use the same model: combining the best esports and pro race drivers, with events at four tracks – with LMP2 and GTE cars as before. Alongside this, there will be races open to the public, so everyone can enjoy.
“Finally, I can tell you that the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual, racing at the Circuit de la Sarthe, will be run again this coming winter. We will follow the same route as before, with very famous drivers taking part and a great broadcast for the fans to follow, and we plan to develop the quality of this event to another level.
“We’ll have some more exciting news about this after the real-world Le Mans takes place in August.”
