Prodigy Racing League launches, blending esports and motorsports

Racing Prodigy is putting gamers in the driver’s seat with the launch of its Prodigy Racing League. The PRL will recruit players from four different racing games — iRacing, Street Kart Racing, rFactor 2 and RaceRoom — for an opportunity to race real cars in its league.

Starting June 19 through October, 15 players will have 12 chances to earn a spot at the league’s first Prodigy Week. This first in-person event will put gamers behind the wheel of Radical SR1 race cars at Atlanta Motorsports Park. The PRL partnered with Pit Fit to give participant resources to train their technique, fitness and communication ahead of the October 30-November 1 event. The company plans to hold a second Prodigy Week in early 2024 with an additional 35 qualifying drivers.
