In the run-up to the Esports World Cup, where the SimRacing Game Rennsport is one of the disciplines, publisher Competition Company has introduced new cockpit and hardware partners with Playseat and Moza Racing.

Rennsport is one of the first disciplines to be featured in the six-week Esports World Cup (EWC) event. From 8 to 11 July, participants will compete in the final of the SimRacing game from Munich-based Competition Company, which is set to be released in full on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X later this year.

Just in time for the start of the final round at the EWC, Rennsport has now introduced two new partners. Playseat will be Rennsport's new cockpit partner. "We were asked to support in the task of creating the most advanced simulator of all time to support Rennsport globally. With our heritage of creating the first immersive racing simulators, you can have at home more than 25 years ago, and our mission of constantly innovating the industry, it’s a great match. To reach this goal, we looked at our drawing board of our future products, selecting this revolutionary simulator to release it years in advance. We are proud of having the opportunity to create the most advanced simulator of all time, setting any racer up for victory", said Dr. Fernando Smit, President & Founder of Playseat.

Additionally, Moza Racing will be Rennsport's new hardware partner. "Moza Racing is excited and proud to be the official hardware supplier for the Esports World Championship and to power this thrilling event. Rennsport’s realistic physics and precision handling make it the ideal platform to showcase the full potential of our equipment at the highest level of competition," says Mandi Liu, Business Development & Partnerships Manager at Moza Racing.

"We see this as the foundation of a long-term collaboration that will help raise the standard of sim racing," adds Robert Rossi, Marketing Director at Rennsport. And on the partnership with Playseat, he says: "Without giving too much away, Playseat will be revealing a brand-new cockpit tailored for esports competition and we think it’s going to turn some heads."
