More than 100 children and youth were privileged to participate in the “Race to Bridge the Digital Divide”, a programme between the Legion of Racers (LOR) and The Rice Company Limited (TRCL) organised at the Race Box.

Race Box was a pop-up event which was held from 10 December to 16 January at Mandarin Gallery, an extension of the OUE E-Cities Championship 2021 held in November.
The children who attended the sessions at Race Box were given a briefing about the motorsports culture, simracing and were also given a chance to drive around the virtual Orchard Road Street Circuit.
In addition, they were also given a brief by LOR co-counder Lim Keong Wee about the esports industry and how digital twin technologies were used for the gaming and content generating platform.
“It was a fulfilling programme for us and we were honoured to give the children an opportunity to learn a little bit more about simracing and motorsports.
“The Race to Bridge the Digital Divide was our way to continuing and extending our outreach to the community,” said Melvin Moh, co-founder of Legion of Racers.

Race Box also teamed up with Singtel, Singapore’s fastest 5G provider to promote their 5G and other services like Singtel Cast, Bookful and their Home Priority Plan, with Singtel customers also given a free 10 minute session on the simulators.
