Real-time Racing tests during Zolder FIA GT weekend

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.
