Successful trial run of iOpener with WTCC Chevrolet on circuit Zolder

Today marked yet another successful day of trial runs for the engineers of iOpener, for they tested the iOpener Enabled equipment for this first time with the WTCC Chevrolet team!
While the team has had a clear winning streak of five wins so far this season, they decided on spending a day at next year's WTCC track of Zolder, which enjoys being iOpener Enabled. "We are developing the cars further during this season, with an emphasis on fine-tuning," says Mark Busfield, Chevrolet Racing Project Manager. Amongst others the Chevrolet Cruze was fitted with the Orange Box (iOpener's positioning & telemetry box) in order to make use of the iOpener Enabled circuit feature.
Just like the team of the Chevrolet Cruze, soon gamers from around the world will be able to enjoy Zolder in the beta test of the first iOpener Enabled game: Real-time Racing. Together with SimBin the iOpener Enabled circuit of Zolder will play an important role in bringing the real race cars to the virtual world. Cruze driver Nicola Larini is also looking forward to the racing on Zolder: "I am really happy that the WTCC is coming back here and although this will only happen next year, having the possibility to test now will certainly be useful."
