Team Fordzilla Partners with Next Level Racing® to Take on the Highest Level of Virtual Motorsport
Team Fordzilla has partnered with #racing simulator brand Next Level Racing® to compete together at the highest level of virtual motorsport.
The world-leading simulation brand offers an industry-leading product range and will support Team Fordzilla’s drivers with high-end equipment necessary for competition. In 2021, this will include highlight events such as the Gfinity V10 R League, as well as sanctioned championships like the British F4 series.
The #partnership builds on the shared principles of #teamfordzilla and Next Level Racing® of promoting #esports to the masses and encouraging inclusivity, aiming to make virtual #racing accessible to anybody no matter their age, gender or physical ability.
Team Fordzilla
Ford launched #teamfordzilla – its first ever #esports team – in 2019 with individual teams in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, consisting of hand-picked racers. Each team competes in national competitions with dedicated team captains, with the best drivers representing #teamfordzilla at a European level. Currently, over 40 drivers race under the #teamfordzilla banner.
As well as competing in high-level virtual motorsport and hosting the inaugural Fordzilla Cup in 2020, #teamfordzilla continues to launch innovative initiatives including Project P1 – a new Ford-designed vehicle for gaming, designed by gamers that has also been built as a full-scale model. For further updates, follow them on Twitter (@TeamFordzilla), Instagram (@teamfordzilla) and Twitch (Twitch.tv/TeamFordzilla).
