After their successful premieres in the 2020 season, the BMW SIM Cups this year offer an even greater variety of racing formats, available vehicles and sim racing platforms on which they are held. With the BMW SIM GT Cup, the BMW SIM M2 CS Racing Cup and the BMW SIM Time Attack, the world's best sim racers on the platforms iRacing, rFactor 2 and Assetto Corsa Competizione have the chance to compete in the big finals at BMW SIM Live Qualify in 2021 and compete for attractive prize money. The races will be streamed on BMW Motorsport's social media channels.
BMW SIM Cups 2021
"After we presented our new BMW SIM Cup formats at BMW SIM Live last December, things are now getting serious, because the first race is just around the corner“, Says Rudolf Dittrich, Head of BMW Motorsport SIM Racing. "The anticipation is correspondingly great to see how our new racing formats and the wider range of BMW racing vehicles are received by the sim racing community. We are now active on three major platforms with iRacing, rFactor 2 and Assetto Corsa Competizione, which means that we are once again reaching significantly more active sim racers and their fans compared to last year. Of course, we hope that this will bring many high-class participants, but also competent feedback on our race formats and vehicles, which will help us to keep improving. I'm particularly looking forward to spectacular events - both during the season and at the big finals as part of BMW SIM Live 2021."
