NACON and its partner Toyota GAZOO Racing have announced that the Grand Final of the 2020 eSports WRC championship has been postponed to 2021 because of the ongoing pandemic and lockdown restrictions. To comply with regulations and ensure the safety of players, those working on the event and the public, the competition’s organisers are rescheduling the event to a more suitable date. More details will be shared very soon.

With over 10,000 participants, this season has already been highly successful for NACON and development studio KT Racing with support from their partners.
