Le Mans is one of the most storied races in the world. For nearly 100 years, drivers have pushed mechanical and personal limits in a pursuit of the longest distance over a full day. This year, the race was postponed until September due to the coronavirus but in its place a virtual event will be held. Dmitry Kozko CEO of Motorsport Games (http://www.motorsportgames.com/) joins the show to talk about the virtual Le Mans (https://24virtual.lemansesports.com/), the rise of SimRacing and why the genre has become the focus of the esports and racing worlds. You can watch the virtual Le Mans from 9 AM ET on Saturday, June 13th to 9 AM ET on Sunday, June 14th. The event will be broadcast around the world on various broadcast partners and also online via OTT providers.
