Gfinity provides F1

With the COVID-19 pandemic putting a halt on the traditional F1 Grand Prix stops around the world, Gfinity was tasked with the design and delivery of a new virtual pro-am format for F1 Esports as an entertainment product appealing to more traditional Formula 1 fans, who were unable to watch the regular races.

We created the F1 Esports Virtual Grand Prix series, an innovative esports racing format featuring traditional sporting and entertainment celebrities competing from the safety and comfort of their own homes.
