Hamburg based parts manufacturer MEYLE and the German T3 Motorsport racing team are building on their well established partnership with the launch of the virtual MEYLE Sprint Cup.

           
While it is not yet possible to physically participate in motorsport, MEYLE says it will continue supporting the T3 Motorsport team as a technical cooperation partner. Stefan Bachmann, Team Leader of the MEYLE Brake and Drivetrain Product Area said, “Especially in times like these, it’s important to work together and underline the strength of our partnership.”

Stefan explains that a particular strength, that defines the partnership between T3 Motorsport and MEYLE, is promoting young talent. At MEYLE, training and professional development have always played a central role, both for the company employees as well as for customers and workshops. Young T3 drivers benefit from the technical expertise of the MEYLE engineers and in addition to the analysis of countless data sets, the MEYLE experts are also available for personal consultation following individual racing sessions.

The MEYLE Sprint Cup is a sim racing series that allows motor sport fans to test themselves on five tracks as part of virtual races. These races are broadcasted live via YouTube and other platforms. There is a total of 40 starting spots available for the MEYLE Sprint Cup, which will be allocated as part of qualifying. To participate in the Cup, a nominal fee of 20 euros is required, following successful qualification. A 500-euro MEYLE voucher as well as other cash prizes await the winners.

Jens Feucht, Managing Director of T3 Motorsport GmbH, is excited about this unique opportunity. He said, “Sim racing has become a permanent feature in the world of motor sports. Our drivers have already been training with racing simulation as the data is extremely realistic. Even in virtual racing, the team has to work together and use tactics just like in the real-world sport. The MEYLE Sprint Cup combines virtual and real motor sports.”
