Months back we were the first to report about the possibility of the World Rally Championship getting a virtual counterpart equipped with iOpener Enabled technology, making it possible for gamers at home to drive in real-time against the real WRC drivers from the comfort of their own home.

Today the iOpener team took a second step in their development as the first tests have taken place during the WRC stages at the Rally of Germany in Trier.

Four SWRC and JWRC cars got the technology on board that provide the needed data for the tests. Among them were former KNAF Talent First drivers Kevin Abbring and Hans Weijs Jr. Nice detail is that Kevin used to drive with us online in 2006 with the first RACE game of SimBin.

The WRC test will enable further evolution of the iOpener Enabled technology towards the production of an iOpener Enabled WRC game in the future.

Click here to read the full news post at RTR and click here to watch the pictures taken during the tests.

So are you looking forward to become a virtual driver that takes it up against pros as Loebb and Hirvonen?

Now thats a rally stage,maybe someone should send the link to Milestone

Still waiting to see the game before i get too excited.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

This is another project than the Milestone WRC game Rick Milestones game is already more or less finished I guess.

nice work iOpener...

 

[Senad Subasic]

If a game would use iOpener, it would probably be pretty realistic. Otherwise, what's the point? Therefore, I'm anxiously awaiting rally games that will use this :rally:
