iRacing.com announced today that NVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing technologies, will sponsor the iRacing.com NVIDIA Series. Previously known as the iRacing.com World Championship Series Road Racing, the iRacing.com NVIDIA Series features the world’s top online racers competing in virtual replicas of the Williams-Toyota FW31 Formula One cars on precise, digital versions of many of the world’s most famous race tracks.
“iRacing is proud to have NVIDIA as the title sponsor of our road racing World Championship,” said Tony Gardner, president of iRacing.com. “The combination of the world’s foremost online racing service, the world’s top sim racers and the world leader in computer graphics is a perfect fit for NVIDIA, iRacing, our competitors and the sport of online racing.
“As online racing continues to grow in popularity, we are witnessing a corresponding increase in support from companies whose products and services are associated with the sport. The iRacing.com NVIDIA Series is the latest example of this trend.”
