VIRTUAL MotoGP CONTINUES AT MISANO THIS WEEKEND
Virtual MotoGP™ continues this weekend at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, where Team Suzuki Ecstar’s Joan Mir will be in action in the #motogp class on his GSX-RR alongside FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup riders.
This popular alternative of live online #racing initiative from MotoGP™ promoters Dorna Sports has become incredibly popular worldwide in this time of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and total lockdown from global motorcycle #racing.
The Red Bull Virtual Grand Prix of Spain at the beginning of May was digital spectacular, with all three classes (MotoGP™. Moto2™ and Moto3™) lining up for the first time ever to fight it out at the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto in Andalusia. As well as the broadcast itself, another 1000 pieces of digital content related to the #event were produced, making 81 million impressions. Millions watched the #event live across different platforms, and once again the total minutes of content consumed by fans added up to well over a decade of non-stop viewing.
Virtual Race 4, featuring two races with MotoGP™ and MotoE™, takes place on Sunday May 17th at 15:00 (GMT +2) where all the riders will be competing on the new official MotoGP™20 Videogame from videogame developer, publisher and longstanding partner Milestone. There will be 11 MotoGP™ riders including Mir, reigning Champion Marc Marquez and nine-time World Champion Valentino Rossi with MotoE™ seeing the likes of 2019 FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup winner Matteo Ferrari and class newcomer Dominique Aegerter. The MotoGP™ race will be nine laps (35% of race distance) and the MotoE™ race five laps (50% of race distance).
Highlights from qualifying will be shown before the races, with those sessions set to decide the grid before the broadcast. Fans can watch on #motogp.com and esport.motogp.com, on selected TV broadcasters, and across social media platforms including YouTube (via the #motogp and #motogp eSport channels), #motogp eSport Twitter, Instagram, Facebook (via #motogp and #motogp eSport pages) and Twitch via #motogp and #motogp eSport.
Virtual Race 4 coverage will wrap up with an Instagram live with each race winner, with the MotoGP™ victor joining MotoGP™ on Instagram at 16:30 (GMT +2) and the MotoE™ winner at 17:00.
