Acer Predator Cup: Win A Drive With Romain Grosjean’s Esports Team

The Predator Sim Racing Cup 2021, contested on Assetto Corsa on the PC (Steam), has a grand prize of one year as part of Romain Grosjean’s R8G professional esports team and a full racing rig!

As far as prizes go, they don’t come much more exclusive than that! As well as the grand prize, each national winner will receive a trophy, an Acer Predator Orion 3000 gaming PC and a monitor, and runners up can win a selection of Acer peripherals and swag.

If you don’t already own Assetto Corsa or the DLC, registering will give you a promo code for 80% off both the game and DLC.

The qualification and finals will be held at Monza, driving a Mercedes AMG GT3.
