Motorsport team McLaren Racing<\/strong> has extended its partnership with global peripherals and hardware manufacturer Logitech G<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
As a result of the extension, the manufacturer will be the gaming wheel and pedal partner of the McLaren Formula 1 <\/strong>team and the McLaren Shadow <\/strong>sim racing team.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
The partnership, which first started in 2017, will see both parties continue to collaborate on initiatives that ‘blur the line between virtual and real-world racing.’ As part of the extension, Logitech and McLaren<\/a> will host the Logitech McLaren G Challenge<\/strong>, a sim racing event where drivers will compete for prizes including opportunities to meet the team’s drivers.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
Since 2017, Logitech has assisted McLaren’s sim racing efforts and supported the McLaren Shadow project during a successful 2022 season. That year the team won the driver’s and constructors championships for the F1 Esports<\/a> series.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
Sim racing continues to attract non-endemic brands into the world of esports. In February 2024, race car manufacturer Dallara partnered with gaming PC manufacturer AK Informatica<\/a> to launch a joint venture based in Indianapolis, Indiana.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
For Logitech G, 2024 is a year of extensions. Alongside extending its deal with McLaren Racing, it secured a multi-year extension with Danish esports organisation Astralis<\/a> in February 2024.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
Matt Dennington, Co-chief Commercial Officer at McLaren Racing<\/strong>, spoke on the extension: “Sim racing continues to go from strength to strength.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
“We\u2019re thrilled to be extending our partnership with Logitech and continue to create a strong experience both for our McLaren Shadow Team and the more than 100,000 competitors who have taken part in the Logitech McLaren G Challenge to date.\u201d <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
