Fortnite is all about Drake, expensive skins and the sort of multi-tasking dexterity I wish I still possessed. Now, it’s also about NASCAR, too.
Launched last year, Psyonix’s Rocket Racing is a driving game (analogous in parts to Rocket League but without the soccer elements) set within the battle royale shooter Fortnite.
Meanwhile, the second-ever real-world NASCAR Chicago Street Race is this weekend – the tortuous concrete-lined venue initially designed in collaboration with sim racing platform iRacing.
Now, aside from the super-series simulation, players can emulate Shane van Gisbergen within Fortnite’s Rocket Racing. A loose representation, created by UK studio Karta, of the Illinois venue is now available to race upon as a limited-time event.
