Torque Esports has entered a broadcast partnership with ESPN for live coverage of its sim racing tournaments.
From April 11th, ESPN will broadcast The Race All-Star Series‘ All-Star Cup and Legend Trophy live on ESPN2.
As well as being aired live on ESPN2, The Race All-Star Series has now been expanded as to become a “full championship series” featuring professional racers and sim racers. Points will be distributed each week, with the eventual victor winning $30,000 (£24,054) for a charity of their choice.
Darren Cox, President and CEO of Torque Esports, spoke on the partnership in a release: “For more than 40 years, ESPN has been the leader in sports with its groundbreaking coverage, and we’re immensely proud to have The Race All-Star Series – Fully Charged by ROKiT Phones now shown live on the network.
