As Rennsport continues its gradual rollout now with it in Early Access, its presence in the competitive scene remains as unsurprisingly, it will feature in the Esports World Cup.

Back in the Summer, the third season of the ESL R1 sim racing championship had its on-site finale at the Esports World Cup. The series has been taking place on Rennsport since its inception in February 2023, with strong criticism from the community being laid at its inaccessibility and early state of development in spite of it being used in a publicly-displayed competition.

The game only hit the early access stage on 16 December after having migrated to Open Beta status in July. Its full release is set for 2025. But in any case, just like with the game being in Closed Beta, then Open and now in Early Access, the platform's reliance on its presence in esports is still ever apparent.


As far as the Esports World Cup goes, not much info has emerged. Expect all the teams that competed this year for the most part to remain, such as big player organisations both within sim racing (Redline, Apex, Coanda, Williams, R8G) and for more mainstream forms of competitive gaming (FaZe Clan, Guild, MOUZ) to be involved.

Early Access: Claim Cars For Free​

Meanwhile, for those who have Rennsport downloaded, it is possible right now to test three cars which will change on a monthly rotation, these cars being the Audi R8 LMS GT4, Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) and BMW M Hybrid V8. Of course, these will change in January.

Additionally, Competition Company are encouraging all kinds of feedback and criticism. They are looking into all avenues such as interface flow, visual inconsistencies and of course, the driving experience. "We have many things left to do, and we will be working tirelessly to make RENNSPORT as good as we can over 2025 and beyond", promises Creative Director Kim Orremark.

I tried Rennsport, and deleted it too.
In my opinion, he has two problems:
1. He appeared at a very inopportune time.
Now is the period when there are several active stimulants on the market, and Rennsport does not offer anything new at this stage, at least for me.
2. A failed distribution model. In my opinion, it was necessary to present more content and a more complete product from the very beginning. Due to the fact that the game failed to attract from the very beginning, and many people lost interest in it, today it will be very difficult for it to attract those who have already lost interest in it, and there are a lot of such people.
I have nothing against this game, because I understand very well how the community can kill any game. The pC confirms this.
 
Would love to try the game, still can't play it with Asetek (Forte) Pedals because the throttle is not applied correctly. Already reported it a long time ago, it was marked as "known issue" and since then nothing has been changed.
 
The physics and visuals are ok... but the pricing model is worse than anything on the market.
 
I have the bmw m2 and all tracks for free. I didn't spent a penny.

I need some years to master that car in those tracks which are all difficult and very technical. I will need to pay another car if and only if they develop a formula vee.

Their driving model is not just ok. It is completely new and in my opinion the most correct of all sims (pista has it too in a lesser degree). there is a sheer driving pleasure here.

Of course a lot of work remain to be done.
 
Feedback ?!?! They dont have triples and have no plans on it anytime soon. That was the nail in the coffin for me. Ive been a tester for a year but to launch into EA with zero triple info...... Clearly this team is a joke.

From day one I could not figure out who they were aiming at...I still can't.
They will not make a living with a handfull of eSports guys.
So whats the appeal for every other simracer?
