Teyon have announced a “partnership” with Rennsport that I assume to be a publishing contract. I only knew of the name Teyon through the Monster Truck Championship title, so am quite interested to hear that they’ve become involved in what has been promised as a hardcore racing sim.
Here is what they had to say on their Web site:
INTRODUCING RENNSPORT: We are pleased to announce our partnership with the Munich-based start-up Competition Company to create the best possible virtual racing esports experience!
Rennsport is a racing simulation for PC designed to provide an ultra-realistic experience and fun to drive. It was founded by game development experts and motorsports enthusiasts to create a virtual racing hub for all racing fans. RENNSPORT aims to inspire with a bold combination of driving physics developed and validated by experts in the automotive industry and combined with custom Unreal Engine 5 graphics.
Starting from scratch, technological advancement and modern software architecture enable RENNSPORT to take the next step in virtual racing experiences. The Unreal Engine 5 creates excellent behind-the-wheel graphics and a wide range of options for user-generated content as an interactive community.
We joined our forces with Competition Company GmbH, a young and ambitious start-up based in Munich (Germany). With the racing simulation RENNSPORT we want to redefine the world of digital motorsport and our ambition is to make something more than just a game!
“We believe in a 360-degree, community-driven approach that involves all stakeholders such as competitive sim racers, motorsport fans, casual gamers, car manufacturers etc. In addition, we are setting the stage for new heroes with our top esports competition ESL R1 which attracts the best virtual drivers from around the world! During IEM in Katowice from February 10 – 12, (together with the ESL FACEIT Group (EFG)), we will set the starting point for our open RENNSPORT esports/league system and officially kick-off the first races of ESL R1.” – says RENNSPORT CEO Morris Hebecker.
Explore the future of digital racing with real-world models!
Racing is just not the same without the most prestigious cars from the world’s biggest manufacturers! That’s why RENNSPORT will feature some familiar names from the motorsports industry and recently announced Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-AMG and AUDI as their current official automotive license partners. Their iconic heritage continues to influence the world of motorsport and now extends to the RENNSPORT family.
For decades, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-AMG and AUDI have been among the world’s leading brands not only in passenger cars, but also in state-of-the-art racing cars in all motorsport categories. In all their engagements, the brands regularly achieve top results thanks to their industry-leading know-how in engineering and development. RENNSPORT now has the opportunity to bring the latest models from their motorsport portfolios to the sim.
