Are you up for beating WRC drivers on virtual special stages?
It's time again for the Jyväskylä World Rally Championship Race! After a break of a few years, we are supporting Finland's biggest motorsport event with dozens of driving simulators. In the service park, rally people can have fun with the equipment of the member clubs that joined the Flying Finn DigiRigi youth work development project.
In the service park of Secto Rally Finland, the heads will roll on Thursday of this week, where the WRC drivers will open the sim event at 14:00 by driving the WRC 10 game against each other. In addition to the presentation of the skills of the top drivers, the public visiting service park can enjoy entertainment and experiences throughout the weekend, as the driving simulators will be free to drive after the WRC drivers' competition throughout the Secto Rally Finland 2022 event until Saturday evening at 10 p.m.
A joint effort to develop youth work
Together with AKK's member clubs, we organized 20 Flying Finn DigiRigs for the public to race, meaning that the queues are short and you can ride quickly. DigiRigs can be driven from the entire DigiRigi range - OP Ralli, OP Racer and OP Child driving simulators offer top-level driving experiences for drivers of all ages and sizes, from kids to adults!
The Secto Rally Finland is an important and big step forward in pushing digital motorsport forward. Representatives of AKK's member clubs are trained in event production, and the skills learned during the rally can thus be applied to the local level, bringing unique expertise to advance the sport throughout Finland. "A lot has been seen and done in the sim scene, but now we have a unique phenomenon at hand, even on an international level," says Olli Pahkala, CEO of Overpower. "Little and peppery Finland will show the world during this weekend that here we are going forward and hard on the digital side!"
In addition to the training, the member clubs are able to present their activities to the rally people of Finland, as well as introduce tens of thousands of rally guests to local partners who have supported the clubs' activities in advancing youth work and motor sports. If your club, company, or community has thought about acquiring driving simulators, now is the perfect opportunity to come get acquainted and discuss the possibilities of simulators in your operation!
