We are pleased to announce the participants for the exhibition race at UNIZONE 2026 Rd.2, which will be held on Saturday, May 16.
What is an Exhibition Race?
An exhibition race is a special race held on the same day as the main event. Unlike the main event, which competes for series points, its purpose is to create a new place for exchange that transcends genres and boundaries, starting from the UNIZONE platform.
As an initiative to expand the circle of players familiar with iRacing and to further increase the number of fans who support UNIZONE, it incorporates competition among players active in various fields, the discovery of new UNIZONE driver candidates, and a challenge to expand the possibilities of the UNIZONE league.
This exhibition race will feature a diverse range of participants who usually operate in separate fields, including UNIZONE team members, e-motorsports players, high school drivers active in real races, popular streamers, and VTubers. They will engage in an intense online battle on the Tsukuba Circuit.
