Backed by reigning Formula E champion Jean-Eric Vergne, Veloce Esports has launched the world's first Esports hub which will allow gamers to compete across multiple racing platforms.
The hub, which opened in London on Wednesday night, will act as a live-streamed performance facility where drivers will be able to hone and harness their skills using state-of-the-art gaming technology, with the hub featuring four F1 rigs, three GT rigs and the world's first 200-degree field of view F1 motion simulator.
Streaming equipment will also be used at the hub to broadcast sessions from the hub on YouTube, Twitch and other online platforms using a variety of different camera angles.
"This is the ultimate venue for our drivers and team to engage the global audience that esports offers," said Veloce co-founder and Formula E champion Jean-Eric Vergne.
"The skills required to perform at the highest level in this industry are not to be underestimated.
"Esports is a serious business now and our athletes need the best equipment and atmosphere to keep improving as well as promote their careers through live streaming and content creation."
Rupert Svendsen-Cook, Veloce Esports Director, highlighted the opening of the race hub in London as an exciting moment for the team and esports on a growing stage:
"Esports is an industry full of first moves right now, but this really is the start of something incredibly exciting for us and esports in general," he said.
"We have a dynamic team that continues to grow with every opportunity that we are presented with.
"In Logitech G we feel like we have a pioneering partner that will prove tremendously beneficial to the future of Veloce Esports, and help shape our next steps as an industry-leading esports organisation."
As a world-leading gaming team, Veloce operates on multiple platforms including Xbox, PlayStation and PC and has worked with a number of highly-established teams and drivers including the Alfa Romeo Sauber Esports Team.
