On Saturday evening, the Danish Championship in digital motorsport was decided at Østre Gasværk in Copenhagen at the Porsche Esport Carrera Cup Denmark. Due to Covid19 restrictions, only 10 drivers participated on location, while the rest drove from their homes. The national tv channel, TV 2 SPORT, broadcasted the event. 

On Saturday night he took the overall victory after two close races in the tenth round of the series, and he defeated the reigning Danish champion, Lasse Bak, while Martin Christensen finished as number three. The evening’s first race, which was held without spectators in Østre Gasværk, was an extremely close affair between the three favorites. Lasse Bak started in pole position, but Mikkel Gade made an early overtaking and won race 1, so the excitement was completely intact before the last race of the season.

In the decisive race of the season, the two teammates, Lasse Bak and Martin Christensen from Williams E-sport, drove together, which triggered a penalty and a deroute down the field to a 19th place for Lasse Bak. After this, Mikkel Gade’s path to the overall victory was paved, and he managed to stay ahead of his rivals all the way home to the overall victory.

With the victory and the title as Danish champion in Digital Motorsport comes a prize check of 50,000 danish kroner.

“I am just happy. Last year Lasse won, and it’s just cool that this year I stand with the Danish Championship. We always drive close, and we were all shown that we in Denmark have some of the fastest sim racing drivers in the world. It makes me extra proud that I can now call myself Danish champion, ”said Mikkel Gade after the final.

“In sim racing, it’s the talent that shines through, and that’s what makes you win. Not who has the greatest financial backing, as is sometimes the case in real motorsport. I’m just super happy. ”

Mikkel Gade has also this season taken part in the international series, Porsche Esport Supercup, which is considered the toughest series in sim racing.

Lasse Bak won 30,000 Danish kroner in second place, while Martin Christensen got 20,000 kroner for his third place.

The first European Digital Motorsport Cup (EDMC) is kicking off this March bringing the best of online and offline racers together battling for their national teams.

The European Digital Motorsport Cup (EDMC) is an international collaboration between several national motorsport organisations including the Danish Automobile Sports Federation, Deutscher Motor Sport Bund e.V., Polish Automobile and Motorcycle Federation, Motorsport Ireland and The Swedish Automobile Sports Federation.

The five national motorsport associations have chosen, during a tender process, the Danish promoter Esport Racing to arrange this first edition of the EDMC. This event offers the champions of the respective national digital motorsport championships throughout Europe the opportunity to represent themselves and their countries. The drivers for this event will be nominated exclusively by their national federation.

“The cooperation with governings bodies across country borders has long been a target for ESR, Esport Racing. I am thrilled that ESR with Danish ASN DASU is able to organize the first edition of European Digital Motorsport Cup,” says Thor Qualmann, Managing Director from digital motorsport promotor Esport Racing.

This new collaboration aims to highlight Digital Motorsport as a new and exciting, professionally run genre of our sport with equal opportunities and low barriers to entry. The best Digital Motorsport Drivers and Pro Motorsport Drivers will be on the same virtual starting grid in a ‘Nations Cup’ which will be broadcast live on the international stage.

Each ASN can nominate a maximum of 6 teams of 2 drivers. These teams will compete in a 120-minute race on the iRacing simulation platform, driving the Dallara LMP2 car on 14 March 2021.

The National teams from Denmark, Germany, Poland, Ireland and Sweden will be introduced in more detail in the coming weeks. In addition to the organising nations, Norway and Iceland will also be competing in the inaugural European Digital Motorsport Cup.

Practice, qualifying and race will be aired live on YouTube on 14 March 2021. The race will run from 1:00 PM (CET)

The Porsche Esports Carrera Cup Denmark will reach thousands of Danish TV screens in 2021 when it will be broadcasted live on TV 2 featuring coverage by well-known motorsport commentators from the studio.

After a successful launch last autumn, Porsche Denmark and ESR plan to increase this year’s coverage of the official Danish championship in digital motorsport, the Porsche Esports Carrera Cup. The popular virtual motorsport series, where Denmark’s top 40 fastest drivers compete for a total prize pool of 100,000 kroner and the title of The Official Danish Champion, has entered into an ambitious broadcasting collaboration with one of the country’s largest sports channels, TV 2.

The agreement means that the six remaining rounds of the Porsche Esport Carrera Cup will be broadcast on TV 2’s sports channels: TV 2 SPORT and TV 2 SPORT X. Well-known Danish motorsport experts will cover the races with live commentary, analysis, and interviews directly from the studio every other Sunday throughout the winter.

“The Porsche Esports Carrera Cup got off to a fantastic start last autumn and has now marked itself as Denmark’s most hyped and challenging championship in digital motorsport. Together with ESR, Porsche has a clear goal of promoting awareness of virtual racing in Denmark. With a broadcasting agreement where TV 2 takes over the TV rights for the rest of the 2021 season, we can deliver even more fantastic entertainment for the many fans, who have until now only been able to follow the series live on Youtube. We have high expectations for the collaboration and look forward to kicking it off this month” says PR & Marketing Manager at Porsche Denmark, Peter Jurland.

“The collaboration with TV 2 and Porsche will lift digital motorsport to a whole new level that has not been seen in Denmark so far. At the same time, I believe that it can help spread awareness for the sport. Those who have a desire for racing can now live out their dream virtually” says Thor Alexander Qualmann, Managing Director at ESR.

Porsche’s involvement in motorsport dates back more than 60 years. With The Porsche Esports Carrera Cup Denmark, where the traditional race cars have been replaced by online simulators, interest in digital motorsport has reached new heights. At the same time, Porsche Denmark – who has also been in collaboration with Hugo Boss to put a team of four young drivers in the championship – has moved into a new and growing audience, which consists of a younger and more tech-oriented target group as well as  traditional motorsport fans. This reason is precisely why TV 2 has chosen to focus on virtual motorsport.

 “2020 was the year when Esport broke through into the consciousness of Danish TV viewers, and especially in the younger target group. Last summer at TV 2, we had success in covering the first digital 24-hour Le Mans ever. Therefore, it is interesting for us to step into an ambitious Danish digital motorsport series which attracts driving talents in both Esports and real racing drivers. The collaboration between Porsche Denmark and ESR shows that there are great aspirations for the series, and TV 2 would like to be a part of that journey. I am convinced that with a joint effort we can raise the interest in digital motorsport further” says channel manager at TV 2, Kristian Hyldgaard.

The first TV 2 broadcast round of The Porsche Esports Carrera Cup Denmark will be the fifth round of the championship, which will take place this Sunday, January 10th, at 12.00 CET on TV2 Sport.
