The Atmosphere was Electric at Gamerfest Dublin
We were delighted to join Cupra on their stand at Gamerfest Dublin. Showing off the Cupra Formentor and Cupra Born fully electic models.
In May we had the opportunity to work with Cupra Ireland on their stand at Gamerfest Dublin. Showing off the Cupra Formentor and Cupra Born fully electic models. This was our first time working with the Cupra brand and when you see the pictures you will see why we hope to continue a strong relationship with the brand in the future.
We had a top of the line simulator at the stand, including a D-box motion system, Simucube ultimate wheelbase, Asetek Invicta pedals and brand new to the market a Bavarian Sim Tec steering wheel.
The Challenge
In our book there is nothing like a litte healthy competition. The challenge we set out for the weekend was fastest lap in a Formula e car around Brands Hatch Indy.
The winner of the competition would win a Playstation 5 so the stakes were high!
Throughout the weekend we saw hundreds of people at the stand but as time went on we started to noticed the same familar faces appearing in our queue. The game was on!
Two racers of similar capability were tipping between first and second place on our leaderboard all through the weekend. One a Williams Esports driver and one a sim racer in his own right. But only one could come out on top.
The Winner
It was a close one but Dylan the sim racer made a last dash at the end of the day on Sunday to win the competition by a tenth of a second, with a blistering time of 41.779 seconds.
Do you think you could beat that?
Cupra's Testimonial
“We had a Digital Motorsports driving simulator on our stand at Gamerfest in the RDS Dublin and they provided a top quality service from start to finish. They were able to brand the car with a CUPRA livery and set up a top of the line motion simulator with one to one driving tuition, creating a one of a kind experience. The staff were fantastic and ran the entire weekend seamlessly. We would definitely recommend this service”.
