MegaRide and Wave Italy: A game-changing run in the e-sport races

MegaRide, today a consolidated international player in tires and vehicle dynamics simulations, has joined forces in strategic partnership with Wave Italy, the only one company covering all sectors of sim racing panorama and active in various e-sport world Championships with its official Wave Italy Racing Team (WIRT).

The collaboration is designed to unite MegaRide’s tire analysis and technological expertise with Wave Italy’s innovative hardware solutions and deep knowledge in e-sports racing. The key point of this collaboration lies in the challenge faced in approaching virtual competitions: the difficulty of understanding the tire model used in racing simulations, which is often characterized by the difficulty to reach realistic behaviors.
