MAJOR MILESTONE UNLOCKED FOR LEGION OF RACERS AS ORCHARD ROAD STREET CIRCUIT RELEASED ON RENNSPORT

15 DECEMBER, SINGAPORE: Singapore esports sim racing organization Legion of Racers (LOR) have collaborated with RENNSPORT to release the Orchard Road Street Circuit on its platform. This will be the first Asian track to be placed on RENNSPORT and is also the first sim racing street track which is not created by the company to find its way into their platform.

RENNSPORT is at the forefront of the digital gaming culture when it comes to racing simulation, competition, and digital car culture as they give sim racing enthusiasts an opportunity to live the thrill of driving high-performance race cars on laser-scanned circuits from around the world and from breathtaking roads which are imagined by the community.

RENNSPORT also made head waves in the world of sim racing when they collaborated with globally-renowned ESL to launch the ESL R1: Racing Released in 2023. RENNSPORT was also one of the competitive sim racing titles being represented at the recent Saudi Gamers8 event which was held in July.

The 3.2km Orchard Road Street Circuit was first released in 2021 as part of the inaugural HyperDrive Cities Championship, and was built from scratch by LOR for the championship. The circuit has since been downloaded and accessed more than10,000 times by sim racers from countries around the world, including Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, India and from various countries in Europe.

Founded in 2017 with an objective of growing the sim racing community and the use of online sim racing competitions to constantly engage the sim racing community, in Singapore and around the region, LOR’s partnership with RENNSPORT is a milestone for the brand as it places Singapore and the sim racing community in this region on the global map.

With the partnership, sim racers will be able to drive past icons on the Orchard Road Street Circuit in RENNSPORT’s next beta update which is scheduled to be released on 18 December.

Said Melvin Moh, LOR Co-Founder, “This is a milestone for Legion of Racers and for the work and investments we have put into helping to develop sim racing in this region. LOR thanks RENNSPORT for trusting us and for collaborating with us to bring more value to the sim racing community globally.”

“It has been a busy few months for us working behind the scenes with RENNSPORT to make this happen. The Orchard Road Street Circuit garnered a lot of interest when it was first released in 2021 and we are excited now to have it in RENNSPORT. It shows our commitment to grow sim racing and this is just one of the many things that we are working on. We hope the drivers will enjoy this track and we are looking forward to releasing more tracks in the near future.”

Said Morris Hebecker CEO and Co-Founder of RENNSPORT, “This is another milestone for us, working with Legion of Racers to make the first-ever community-featured piece of content into our game is proof that our concept works. Bringing something made externally into our platform and ecosystem and seeing it come alive is exciting.

‍

Not only is the track itself enjoyable to drive, but it is also the first street circuit in RENNSPORT. This is a great starting point for our partnership and I am excited to see more tracks from the talented people behind Legion of Racers in the future.”

Apart from the Orchard Road Street Circuit, LOR also created the Semanggi Street Circuit and the Kuala Lumpur Street Circuit subsequently, with both tracks already utilized for the HyperDrive Championship. Aside from the annual HyperDrive Cities Championship, LOR runs Race Box which allows sim racing enthusiasts to fuel their need for speed.

“It has always been our goal to work with a publisher and we are glad to be able to work with a company like RENNSPORT,” added Moh.
