[VELOCIPEDE]

FIRST LIVE SIM RACING AT THE ZOLDER RACE TRACK!

The initial selected group of Beta testers experienced thrilling action in the Real-Time Racing Game (RTR), competing from behind their PCs at home against professional race drivers on track.

During the test day at the Racetrack in Zolder (Belgium) the first Real-Time Racing public test took place and started off with a resounding bang! The Moritz Racing Team came to the event with three powerful GT race cars equipped with the patented iOpener Enabled technology.

During the coming weekend of October 24th and 25th the Circuit of Zolder hosts the final round of the FIA GT Championship 2009. In many ways this weekend will be the venue of groundbreaking news.

First of all the closure of this season will be also the closure of the FIA GT championship in its current form. In 2010 FIA GT will become an official FIA World Championship, showcasing new GT1 specification race cars only. The FIA GT1 World Championship will join the current illustrious list of FIA World Championships, namely F1, WTCC and the WRC.

The second breaking news will astonish the gaming as well as the motorsport world! On Saturday 24 October 5,000 beta testers will be racing from behind their computers at home in real-time live against FIA GT driver Bas Leinders in his Matech Ford GT 40 during the FIA GT practice session.

FIA GT Championship organizer SRO stated they are happy to facilitate this trial event for RTR, the first iOpener Enabled game.

The RTR Crew left the circuit of Zolder yesterday night after a great weekend full of racing action.

First of all we are happy with all the feedback we have gathered from our live tests on Saturday and the stored races that are made available directly afterwards. Both the RTR Community and the racing fans in Zolder have provided us with so much valuable information! Thanks to all that contributed to that, it is really appreciated!

Secondly we have succesfully finished our first onsite event. As you could already read on some simracing blogs and websites we were present at Zolder with our mobile RaceRoom which gave all the racing fans the chance to experience Real-Time Racing themselves. We were located right behind the pit entry so while people were experiencing the iOpener Enabled feature in our simulators they we treated with incredible loud engine sounds produced by the GT's flying by on the straight at full speed!

Our VIP guests had a special box above the pitlane, giving them frontrow seats to all the action taking place right in front of them. Close racing battles, accurate pitstops and driver changes they could experience it all. Amoung them were our competition winners of the last month and the smile on the face of Gregory Cogotti, the winner of our car skin competition, all weekend said enough!

Last but not least we would like to thank the real drivers and mechanics of the FIA GT teams that took the time to test RTR and the iOpener Enabled feature. We cannot get a bigger compliment than getting a thumbs up from the pro's that are directly involved with the FIA GT!

During the FIA GT weekend iOpener wasn't only testing, also very promising discussions have taken place between the iOpener team and motorsport organizations present at Zolder.

We keep you updated on that!
