A brand new name, a large number of new cars, an updated race format that promises even more action and a big field of strong drivers, looking more competitive than ever.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But when it comes to virtual racing, there will be consistency. Eurosport Events, RaceRoom and Sector3 Studios are happy to announce that they continue their partnership, and that the <strong>FIA WTCR Oscaro 2018 will come to RaceRoom along with a huge Esports WTCR campaign<\/strong>, in cooperation with the N\u00fcrburgring and KW Suspensions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RaceRoom and Eurosport Events already had a successful partnership in past years, with the FIA WTCC being represented in the racing simulation starting from the 2013 season to 2017. Last year, the inaugural eSports WTCC was run as an online championship, with German simracer Alexander Dornieden taking the title, and even securing himself a place in the Race Of Champions.<\/p>\n<p>The N\u00fcrburgring and RaceRoom have also been cooperating for a long time, with the iconic Nordschleife featured in RaceRoom and the RaceRoom Caf\u00e9 as a popular location on the ring\u00b0boulevard.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5887&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This year, the stakes are raised for the Esports WTCR Oscaro.
