SCUDERIA FERRARI HP ESPORTS
Our partnership with Scuderia Ferrari HP Esports successfully continued in 2025, with three Constructors’ and three Drivers’ Titles secured.
As Official Technical Partner, we supported Ferrari’s Esports division, as evidenced by the presence of our logo on the cars’ liveries, drivers’ apparel, and in communications released by Ferrari Esports.
We were notably involved in the new season of Ferrari’s own competition: the Ferrari HP Esports Series 2025. This international tournament, which opened in April and followed a regional qualification system (Americas, APAC, and EMEA), was played across three different titles — Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and iRacing — and concluded in December.
The Grand Final brought together 14 finalists — including the winner of the Thrustmaster Community Cup, a true competition within the competition — to compete behind the wheel of our T818 Direct Drive base equipped with the Ferrari 488 GT3 Wheel Add-On. The event took place at the incredible Ferrari World Abu Dhabi on the eve of the country’s Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The winner, 19-year-old Lithuanian driver Grantas Kareckas, had the privilege of receiving his trophy from Charles Leclerc in person.
NRG
Our American partner NRG was crowned World Champion in RLCS (Rocket League) and in VCT (Valorant), showcasing our brand at the very highest international level. In Rocket League, the team also secured a Top 4 finish at the eFIFA World Cup while representing Team USA.
We were pleased to finalize our partnership agreement with NRG in early September 2025. This initiative enables us to position our brand within key esports communities across our target titles — particularly Rocket League.
This visibility takes shape through the integration of our brand on team jerseys, across numerous online visuals, and through dedicated content and joint community activations such as Community Game Nights and Mission Control.
Fans also had the opportunity to go behind the scenes of the bootcamp organized by Thrustmaster, which helped propel NRG to world championship success.
IRACING
We had the opportunity to collaborate with iRacing by sponsoring several competitions throughout 2025, including the renowned online edition of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. These events allow us to stay close to the sim racing community and to establish ourselves as a true stakeholder in the sim racing esports scene.
This initiative is being renewed in 2026, with a partnership confirmed for the upcoming edition, as well as for the IndyCar Series taking place from January to March. We are also supporting the following competitions: the Micro Winged Sprint Car Rookie Series, the Motorsport UK FF1600 Trophy, and the Mini Stock Rookie Series.
