The Swedish National Motorsport Authority Svenska Bilsportförbundet is now launching a new series for Virtual racing called Virtual Grand Prix.

The VGP series will use Simbin’s coming World Touring Car simulaton RACE 07 and will feature prize money at 100,000 SEK (approx. US$ 14,300).

“Virtual Grand Prix is a means for us to market auto sport towards younger talent and even to new markets such as gamers. Racing games and simulations are a natural part of racing but we believe VPG.se will be a step forward for the interest of motorsports in Sweden”, Magnus Öhrström of SBF says.

At VGP.se it’s now possible to dowload the demo of RACE 07 and compete online at the Brands Hatch circuit to get ready for the real season.
