RealSport has teamed up with world-renowned video game maker Codemasters to help launch the new GRID game.
The agreement to be one of Codemasters’ partners for this launch comes as RealSport parent company Gfinity is rapidly expanding its organic online community of gamers.
Gfinity is currently connecting with more than 20 million gamers monthly, with its website - Gfintyesports.com - attracting more than 1.5m visitors last month alone.
Grid is shaping up to be a quality racing game
For three weeks starting 30th September, RealSport and its supporting social channels will feature and amplify news, editorials and opinion pieces written by leading motor sport writers, advertising, video content and weekly online interactive quizzes.
The tailored GRID content will reach and engage Gfinity’s community of hard to reach young gamers, many of which are racing fans.
