F1 team Williams will be sending its Esports team to GamerFest Dublin, Ireland’s biggest gaming and esports festival at the RDS this May 27th & 28th.
As part of a new partnership, Williams Esports will be bringing five cutting-edge Williams Esports sim racing rigs for the GamerFest crowd to test their racing skills.
There will be a Fastest Lap Challenge taking place across the weekend, and Williams Esports Irish driver Daire McCormack will also be in attendance, meeting the crowd and chatting about his sim racing career to date.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Williams Esports to GamerFest this May,” said CEO Stuart Dempsey.
“This is the first time that a global sim racing team has visited Ireland so there’s going to be a massive buzz around the Williams Esports area at the event.”
“We’re excited about this opportunity to come over to Ireland and engage with the passionate sim racing and gaming community that we know is thriving here,” added Director of Esports at Williams Racing, Steven English>
“We strive to give as many people as possible the chance to try an elite sim racing rig and help to grow their enthusiasm for the sport we love.”
“We hope to add a real highlight to the GamerFest event, and maybe we’ll even identify some top Irish sim racing prospects in the process.”
Since its establishment in 2017, GamerFest Dublin has established itself as a diverse, community-led gaming event for everyone with a passion for gaming, whether that be casual gaming with friends or those who engage in competitive esports tournaments, game development and design or content creation.
The Festival will include the latest games, VR tech, esports, and career exploration, as well as a host of special guests including top Twitch and YouTube creators. An attendance of 5,000 gamers is expected to turn up for the experience.
