Porsche Esports Supercup returns for 2026 with exciting new format and prize

The Porsche Esports Supercup is set to make its return for the 2026 season with an exciting new format and top prize: the opportunity for the winner to prove themselves in real-life racing. This year, the PESC will be even more competitive, as the winner has the opportunity to progress their racing career from the virtual world onto real-world tracks. With sim racing establishing itself as a credible entry point into professional motorsport - and already used as a valuable tool by racing drivers - the championship will create a new connection between digital competition and real-world racing. Taking place on iRacing, the season gets underway in April, with the National Championships and the Global Open Qualifiers, followed by the Regional Championships this summer. From there, 32 drivers will qualify to take part in the Porsche Esports Supercup World Championship series - the pinnacle of the competition. Five candidates of the 32 will be chosen by Porsche Motorsport to participate in a Talent Shoot-Out in Cologne, with two of them then competing on track. The winner will become a development prospect, and be given the opportunity to compete in a Porsche One-Make Series in 2027. The Porsche Esports Supercup qualification process Across the PESC season there will be four championships on iRacing, beginning with the National Championships.

My new F1 sim racing rig is both more affordable and portable

When I last built a racing simulator to fuel my F1 obsession, I tested all of the fancy equipment with all of the bells and whistles. For my latest project, I wanted to build something that was not only more affordable but also portable, so that the racing rig wasn’t in the way when not in use. I found my answer in the form of the Playseat Challenge DD F1 Edition. At $799 in Australia, it’s not cheap, but by sim racing standards, it’s a reasonably priced mid-range cockpit. Best of all, it folds up and packs away with your chosen steering wheel and pedals still attached. I paired the seat with several Logitech racing accessories this time, including the RS50 System, which is compatible with consoles and PC. It’s so nice being able to quickly pack up and then set up the sim racing rig without needing to reattach everything at the same time. You can see my latest F1 sim racing rig in action over on the GadgetGuy YouTube channel.
