“It’s that time of the year again that we are hosting our annual Online Championship on Assetto Corsa Competizione,” said LOR co-founder Melvin Moh.
“We have decided to go on a one-make race format as we feel this will create a more equal playing field with everyone driving the same car and I’m looking forward to an exciting championship,” he added.
“A big thank you also to all the partners and sponsors for supporting this championship.”
