F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso, Logitech G and G2 Esports have announced a new, elite racing team – FA Racing G2 Logitech G. The team will participate across a variety of games, consoles and PC platforms, as well as all current competitions.
“Every Formula 1 driver is a gamer at heart," said Fernando Alonso. "Competing on the virtual stage opens a vast amount of possibilities for young drivers that wouldn’t otherwise have a chance to get into racing. For the first time ever, fans are no longer just spectators but can take part in the game and maybe become real SIM racers on my team. I cannot think of better partners than G2 Esports and Logitech G to start this up with and I am raring to get going!”
“Logitech G has played a key role in supporting the development of esports since 1997,” said Kristian Tear, head of EMEA at Logitech. “We are excited about this partnership with G2 Esports and Fernando Alonso and look forward to working together on building new driving programs and the best gear for professional racing."
Commenting on the partnership, Ashok Jangra, Cluster Category Head – India & SWA, Logitech, said, “The esports and gaming industry in India is at the cusp of a major transformation. Soon, India will be one of the fastest-growing gaming markets in the world, due to numerous factors such as the easy access to technology/smartphones, increased mobile internet usage and more. We are thrilled about this partnership with G2 Esports and Fernando Alonso as this will bring an adrenalin rush for the esports and gaming aficionados in the country.”
G2 Esports CEO Carlos “ocelote” Rodriguez said, “Combining my two early passions for esports and motorsport to create an elite team headed by a two-time Formula One World Champion is a childhood dream for me. This partnership brings the competitive part of racing to a new level, and I am proud to lead the efforts in such good company.”
