Corsair’s Q2 earnings call has clarified the structure of the Trak Racer deal, and it is not the parallel arrangement most coverage assumed. Trak Racer becomes a sub-brand under Fanatec, its cockpits fold into the Fanatec umbrella, and the integration runs three to six months. When Corsair announced the Trak Racer acquisition, the natural reading was two sibling brands sitting side by side inside a portfolio. Corsair owns Fanatec. Corsair owns Trak Racer. Both report upwards. That is not the structure. Speaking on Corsair’s second quarter 2026 earnings call, Chief Executive Officer Thi La confirmed that Trak Racer’s mechanical products, including cockpits and accessories, will be folded under the Fanatec brand umbrella, complementing Fanatec’s electronic products such as wheel bases and pedals. Corsair expects the infrastructure integration to take roughly three to six months. Fanatec’s own community FAQ puts it in plain language: Trak Racer will operate as a sub-brand under the Fanatec umbrella, retaining its own product identity and community within the broader Fanatec ecosystem. Corsair’s press release carries the headline “Corsair Welcomes Trak Racer To The Fanatec Family”. Not to the Corsair family. To the Fanatec family. The acquisition announcement is published in the Corsair newsroom, with additional detail in the Fanatec community announcement and FAQ. The original transaction release was issued via Business Wire. Who is actually running what The leadership structure has also been clarified, and it is more detailed than the initial announcement implied. - Matt Sten, Trak Racer’s founder, has joined Corsair as Chief Technology Officer of the Sim Solutions group. Note the phrasing: a group-level technology role, not a Trak Racer role. - Pete Hosking, Trak Racer’s CEO, continues as General Manager of the Trak Racer business unit with ongoing profit and loss responsibility. That second appointment is the one that should reassure

Viet Tran’s first impression of America after moving here in 1992 from Vietnam was that "Americans loved fast things." This impression was triggered by one of the first movies he had ever watched on live TV as a child, “Top Gun.” The early realization eventually grew into a love and passion for fast cars and motorcycles, and as he grew up, that journey led him to the racing track and to the creation of his first business—Velocity Sim Racing Lounge. How it started “My family came from Vietnam when I was 5,” Tran said. “Quite literally, my first exposure to America was ‘Jurassic Park’ because we never had colored TVs back home. The second movie was ‘Top Gun,’ and there’s this scene where Tom Cruise is on his Kawasaki, and one of the jet fighters takes off in the background. I was immediately like, ‘That’s what it means to be American.’ That incepted this idea that to be American is to love fast things, and that planted the seed.” After that experience, Tran grew up watching different styles of racing. Eventually, when he turned 20 and graduated from college, he purchased his first motorcycle. From there, he started competing in races at top venues like Thunderhill Raceway, Sonoma Raceway and MSR Houston. However, in 2023, Tran wrecked his motorcycle while driving for the Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association in Texas. He said after the accident he struggled to get back on the track. “The series here had announced that they were going to introduce three new tracks for the upcoming season that I had never ridden on,” Tran said. “I went into full panic mode thinking about how I was going to get experience while still recovering from my injury.” The answer, he found, was sim racing. He and a couple

Corsair Gaming (NASDAQ:CRSR) reported second-quarter financial results Thursday after market close. • Corsair Gaming stock is charging ahead with explosive momentum. What’s behind CRSR gains? Here are the key highlights. Corsair Gaming Q2 Earnings Corsair Gaming reported second-quarter revenue of $314.3 million, down 2% year-over-year. The revenue total beat a Street consensus estimate of $310.5 million according to data from Benzinga Pro. Direct-to-consumer represented around 20% of total net revenue in the quarter. Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment revenue was $115.9 million in the quarter, up 13% year-over-year. Gaming Components and Systems segment revenue was $198.5 million in the quarter, down 9% year-over-year. The company said higher memory pricing hurt the market for DIY PC builds. Adjusted EBITDA was up 279% year-over-year to $30.8 million in the quarter. The company saw a benefit of $15.6 million to gross profit from refunds of tariffs previously paid under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The company said it would have exceeded profit expectations with and without the tariff refund in the quarter. The company reported adjusted earnings of 23 cents per share, beating a Street estimate of seven cents per share. Adjusted earnings per share would have been an estimated nine cents per share without the tariff benefit. Corsair does not expect material tariff refunds going forward. "We delivered another quarter of significant profitability improvement, with gross margin reaching a record for the Company at 33.2% gross profit increasing, 21% year-over-year," Corsair CEO Thi La said. What’s Next for Corsair Gaming The company said it completed its acquisition of Trak Racer, a Sim Racing hardware direct-to-consumer brand, on Aug. 3, 2026. "We see meaningful opportunities to further expand Stream Deck into workflow automation and professional broadcasting, accelerate Marketplace development through AI, deepen our direct-to-consumer relationships and build on Fanatec’s momentum in Sim

The Crew Motorfest built its whole identity around a single idea: the celebration never stops. Set across a sun-drenched, remixed version of O'ahu, the game trades the grim seriousness of pure simulators like Assetto Corsa for something looser and more joyful. Cars roar past palm trees, playlists guide players from drift challenges to vintage muscle showdowns, and every finish line feels like an excuse to throw confetti. It captures a broader mood in modern racing games, the pull toward experiences that feel spontaneous, a little lucky, and endlessly replayable. That same appetite for surprise and quick thrills, seen everywhere from Forza Horizon's open-world festivals to the arcade heritage of Need for Speed, is exactly what makes Motorfest worth talking about. For players who enjoy that lucky-break rush, the conversation eventually reaches how much information is out there for niche interests, and that is where careful editorial coverage earns its keep. A site like Uncharted Play focuses on U.S. readers who want to understand offshore sports betting before deciding whether it suits them, comparing well-known names such as BetWhale, BetNow, BUSR, MyBookie, and Everygame while spelling out how offshore options differ from licensed ones. Its editorial angle leans heavily on responsible play, laying out what each service actually offers rather than hyping any of them. For someone who already treats a Motorfest session as a bit of managed excitement, that kind of clear-eyed comparison is the difference between an informed choice and a blind leap. Why a Party Atmosphere Sells the Fantasy The reason Motorfest works so well is that it never asks the player to feel guilty for chasing a good time. Ivory Tower designed the festival structure so that racing feels less like a grind and more like wandering a music festival where every stage plays a different genre.

Corsair Gaming is expanding beyond its traditional gaming and creator hardware markets with an AI workstation initiative targeting what the company estimates to be an approximately $22 billion desktop AI PC opportunity. Corsair is developing the offering as an extension of its capabilities in high-performance computing systems, customization, memory, thermal management and power delivery. The initial target market includes prosumers and small and medium-sized businesses that value local computing, data security and reduced cloud-token consumption. Corsair said the business remains at an early stage, with a more significant contribution expected in the latter part of 2027 and beyond. The initiative comes as Corsair’s Elgato and Stream Deck ecosystem is also expanding beyond its traditional content-creation customer base into workflow automation and professional broadcasting. During the first half of 2026, Elgato Marketplace gross revenue and transaction volume each increased more than 100% year-over-year, while product submissions grew more than 300% and more than 500,000 new accounts were added. Corsair said AI-assisted development is making it easier for creators and developers to build Stream Deck profiles and plug-ins, which could increase the utility of the ecosystem and support future recurring-revenue opportunities. The company also invested in Norway-based Bitfocus and established a partnership making Stream Deck Studio and the broader Stream Deck portfolio preferred control surfaces across Bitfocus customer deployments. Gamer and Creator Peripherals revenue increased 13% to $115.9 million, while gross profit increased 27% to $52 million. Sim Racing also remained a growth driver through Fanatec, and Corsair subsequently completed its acquisition of Trak Racer to broaden its Sim Racing hardware portfolio and direct-to-consumer distribution. Overall quarterly revenue declined 2% to $314.3 million, but gross profit increased 21% to $104.3 million and company-wide gross margin reached a record 33.2%. Adjusted EBITDA increased 279% to $30.8 million, while operating cash flow increased 148%

CORSAIR Acquires Trak Racer, Expands Sim Racing World Founded in 2008 by Matt Sten, the company has become one of the top benchmarks over time CORSAIR takes a new step in the simulation sector by announcing the acquisition of the assets of Trak Racer, an Australian company known for producing cockpits, seats, monitor stands, and accessories dedicated to sim racing and flight simulation. The operation, already effective, expands the group's portfolio and joins Fanatec, a brand that entered CORSAIR's orbit to consolidate its presence in the virtual driving peripheral market. With this acquisition, CORSAIR aims to offer an even more complete ecosystem. Fanatec will continue to develop wheelbases, steering wheels, pedals, and shifters, while Trak Racer will bring its expertise in creating aluminum and tubular cockpits, dedicated seats, monitor and peripheral stands, as well as motion systems and haptic technologies designed to increase simulation realism. An Offer That Covers the Entire Driving Station Founded in 2008 by Matt Sten, Trak Racer has become over the years one of the reference brands for simulation enthusiasts, with a catalog ranging from entry-level configurations to professional setups. The agreement also represents CORSAIR's first concrete entry into the flight simulation sector, thanks to the TR550 Flight Simulator platform, which will become part of the group's offering. The acquisition will also allow Trak Racer to leverage CORSAIR's international sales and distribution network, expanding the brand's presence in physical stores and key global markets. Concurrently, Matt Sten joins the company as Chief Technology Officer for Sim Solutions, contributing to the development of future solutions dedicated to driving and flight simulation.

How my motorsport journey started "I started in karting when I first got in the go-kart when I was four years old. My dad had bought me a go-kart and then eventually started taking me to a track when I was six years old. "I was watching NASCAR mainly, I was more interested in NASCAR, being in America. Where I grew up it was the main thing, the main motorsport on TV and I really, really liked that." My strengths as a driver "My best is attacking high-speed corners, race pace, and working with the team and having a good relationship with them." My weaknesses as a driver "I don't know." My most memorable achievement so far "Finishing second in Formula 2, is a very good achievement overall. It's a very difficult series to do well in." Race winner Jak Crawford, DAMS Lucas Oil How my 2026 season is going "A lot of time not in the car, more in the simulator. It can sometimes be a bit sad not to be always racing at all the races, but at least helping the team a lot in the simulator and driving a lot in tests and free practice sessions." How I got into the Red Bull Junior Team, and how it went "I got in in 2019. My dad got an email from [then Red Bull advisor] Helmut Marko saying that he wanted to meet me in Mexico City, and I lived in Houston, Texas so it was quite a short flight. We went for the grand prix, he invited us, we met him and he told me he wanted to see me on the track, so then he arranged a test for me at Red Bull Ring in an F4 car.

F1 world champion Lando Norris' brother just helped his title rival by building him a £30k gadget Change your timezone: F1 world champion Lando Norris' brother just helped his title rival by building him a £30k gadget ...Can we have one? Make us your Google favorite We're all for sibling rivalries here at GPFans, but surely this is a yellow card offence. Lando Norris isn't quite locked into a championship battle with Kimi Antonelli, but the Italian is 50 points clear or anyone at the top of the tree in F1, and the McLaren driver is one of the men hunting him down. In light of that...hey! Oliver Norris! What are you doing installing an F1 simulator in Antonelli's house! Well in very Roy Keane fashion, it turns out that's just his job. Lando's older brother founded the Cool Performance simulator company all the way back in 2013 (back when the current F1 champion was karting in the KF-Junior class), and had now provided sim rigs for a whole host of racing drivers. F1 HEADLINES: Verstappen's ulterior motive to leave Red Bull as Newey relationship blossoms Norris x Antonelli collab when? A video uploaded to the company's YouTube channel earlier this summer, the older Norris uploaded a video showing off Antonelli's new home sim rig, going over all of the custom details which he said had been fine-tuned over the process of about three months. Since the Formula Pro model (which Antonelli is now the poster child for on the company's website) starts at €36,250 before you even click the 'Bespoke Projects Department' link...well, let's just say you'd better get it on your Christmas list early.

The Lexus RZ was the luxury brand’s first dedicated electric model, sharing its e-TNGA platform with Toyota’s bZ4X but leaning hard into Lexus’s signature refinement and tech. As with all things Lexus, it is very easy to fall into the trap of thinking it may just be a Toyota with a big grille (okay, this doesn’t have a ‘grille’, but it does have the shape of one still…) and some thick carpet, but like literally every other Lexus you go into thinking that might be the case, it most definitely isn’t. Whatever black magic that Lexus uses to take Toyota’s and make them into genuinely convincing (and even class-leading) luxury cars is quite remarkable, and every time you drive a really nice Toyota and think to yourself “I wonder how Lexus will top this?”, they do. And in an extremely convincing fashion. The RZ 550e F Sport is the flagship of Lexus’ RZ range and the rest of that range - and the bZ4X range - prices have been slashed across the board for the new model. In fact, the price difference between this RZ 550e and its broadly comparative ICE-equivalent, the RX 500h F Sport is now in the BEV’s favour, with the 273kW RX dropping in at $143,900, while the 300kW RZ is just $134,900. In fact, the range-topping RZ 550e’s price is even less than the previous generation RZ’s starting point of $141,600 for the entry level RZ 450e Core. Despite these savage price drops, the RZ has picked up number of significant upgrades across the 2026 range, with the 550e F Sport landing here as an all-singing, all-dancing model packed with Toyota’s latest tech, including new Aisin e-Axle motors and revised control logic, as well as a steer-by-wire system that removes the mechanical link to the

Corsair’s acquisition of Trak Racer was for $40 million in cash, with a further $10 million earn-out should performance targets be met in the next 12 months, totalling $50 million. Joining Fanatec, which the American gaming equipment and accessories giant purchased in 2024, the two simulation businesses now form what’s been termed a “Sim Solutions group” by Corsair CEO Thi La. “We folded sim racing into one entity, if you want to call it that way, and the Trak Racer products will fold underneath the Fanatec brand umbrella,” she expanded. Further light on the sim racing structure was shone by financial filings this week, which stated that Trak Racer “will be operating as a sub-brand under Fanatec.” Both Fanatec and Trak Racer sit within what Corsair terms as the “Gamer and Creative Peripheral segment” when it reports financial results, including the likes of Elgato. As a business operation, the two sim equipment manufacturers sit alone within the newly coined ‘Sim Solutions’ division. “With regards to the integration phase [between Corsair, Fanatec and Trak Racer], it should be a pretty quick one,” explained La. “We think it’s going to take about three to six months to integrate our system infrastructure. “What’s going to be really meaningful is just really getting the roadmap alignment between the two business units.” Trak Racer founder Matt Sten has joined Corsair as Chief Technology Officer at the Sim Solutions group, with Pete Hosking continuing to lead Trak Racer with ongoing profit and loss responsibility. Strong Fanatec sales in Q2 2026 In Corsair’s Q2 2026 (April to June 2026) financial report cits a 13% year-on-year growth in revenue from its aforementioned “Gamer and Creative Peripheral” segment, and a gross profit increase of 27%. “Fanatec remained a key driver, supported by new products, wider distribution and strong direct-to-consumer

Motorsport Games has swapped Le Mans Ultimate’s two August Special Events. Spa moves forward to next weekend, Daytona slips to Gamescom week, and three unnamed venues remain on the calendar. Le Mans Ultimate’s official Special Events calendar for the rest of 2026 was updated on 6 August, and the change is small in print but significant if you race these things with a team. The two August events have been swapped. What was scheduled as the 8 Hours of Daytona in the week commencing 11 August is now the 4 Hours of Spa. What was scheduled as the 4 Hours of Spa in the week commencing 25 August is now the 8 Hours of Daytona International Speedway. Both entries carry a “NEW DATE” flag on the official calendar. Spa has moved forward by two weeks. If you had a crew lined up for the last weekend of August, you are now racing next weekend. That matters more here than it would in most sims. Special Events in Le Mans Ultimate are driverswap races, run as team relays rather than solo entries. Fielding one means agreeing a line-up, dividing stints, covering time zones and making sure somebody competent is in the car for the critical phases. Going from three weeks of preparation to one is a genuine squeeze, and league organisers running internal sign-ups will need to move today. One further point that trips people up every time: the dates published are week commencing, not race days. Special Events run Friday through Sunday. The 4 Hours of Spa therefore falls across roughly 14 to 16 August, and the 8 Hours of Daytona across 28 to 30 August. The August line-up as it now stands - w/c 11 August, 4 Hours of Spa.

Corsair Gaming NASDAQ: CRSR reported second-quarter results marked by higher gross margins, improved profitability and substantially stronger operating cash flow, while raising its full-year 2026 outlook. The company said growth in Gamer and Creator Peripherals, including sim racing and creator products, helped offset continued pressure on DIY PC component demand tied to elevated memory prices. Second-quarter revenue totaled $314.3 million, down 2% from a year earlier but above the assumed midpoint of the company’s guidance range. Gross profit rose 21% year-over-year to $104.3 million, while gross margin expanded 640 basis points to a company-record 33.2%. GAAP operating income was $7.6 million, compared with an operating loss of $16.9 million in the prior-year quarter. GAAP net income was $9.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $20.3 million, or $0.16 per share, a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $30.8 million from $8.1 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share rose to $0.23 from $0.01. Tariff Refund Boosted Quarterly Results Chief Financial Officer Gordon Mattingly said the company recognized approximately $15.6 million in benefits to GAAP gross profit from refunds of tariffs previously paid under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The refunds contributed about 500 basis points to gross margin. The tariff-related benefit added roughly $14.9 million to net income, $14.3 million to adjusted EBITDA and $0.13 to non-GAAP diluted EPS, Mattingly said. Excluding the benefit, Corsair would have reported a GAAP net loss of $5.7 million and a GAAP loss per share of $0.07. Adjusted EBITDA would have been $16.6 million and non-GAAP EPS would have been $0.09, both above the high end of the company’s prior guidance ranges. Mattingly said Corsair is materially complete with the tariff refund process, though immaterial administrative adjustments or interest could be received in future periods. Peripherals Segment

[CRSR Q2 2026 Earnings Call] Corsair Hits Record 33.2% Gross Margin, Raises 2026 Outlook as Peripherals Surge 13% Record Margins Power Profit Surge Despite Revenue Dip Corsair Gaming (NASDAQ: CRSR) turned in what CEO Thi La called “strong results” for the second quarter, as a deliberate shift toward high-margin peripherals and fanatical cost discipline drove gross margin to an all-time high and triggered a sharp upward revision to full-year guidance. The numbers tell the story: revenue of $314.3 million was down 2% from a year ago, but gross profit swelled 21% to $104.3 million, yielding a company-record gross margin of 33.2% — 640 basis points above the prior-year quarter and 50 points above the first quarter. “We are improving the quality of our revenue, gaining share in the right categories, and building platforms for growth beyond the traditional PC cycle,” La said on the call. Adjusted EBITDA exploded to $30.8 million from $8.1 million in Q2 2025, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share hit $0.23, compared with a penny a year earlier.
