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."
