Simucube launches ‘Hotlap Hangout’, includes top sim racing and motorsport personalities

Finnish sim racing peripheral manufacturer Simucube is launching a community Discord series called ‘Hotlap Hangout’, with special guests from the world of sim racing and motorsport.

Simucube, the high-end producer of sim racing wheelbases, steering wheels, pedals and other accessories, is launching a new community-based chat forum called ‘Hotlap Hangout’.

It’s set to bring famous names from the worlds of motorsport and sim racing to the Finnish company’s Discord channel for an informal chat with the Simucube community. The first guest lined up to appear on ‘Hotlap Hangout’ is Gianni Vecchio, whose Team Redline outfit is sponsored by Simucube.  

Vecchio has recently starred in the 2023 BMW M SIM GT Cup for Redline, with his most recent foray into Rennsport’s ESL R1 series resulting in the team championship for the multinational outfit.

As well as sharing a sim racing space with double Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen, Vecchio has also teamed up with sim racing esports stars like Kevin Siggy, Luke Bennett and Jeffrey Rietveld among many others. 

The very first ‘Hotlap Hangout’ will take place on the 5th of September at 15:30 UTC, with the following week’s guest still to be announced. Stay tuned though, it’s a good one!
