Asetek, sim racing gear innovator, and sports car championship-winning and esports leader Hardpoint announced an agreement whereby Asetek SimSports™ racing products will be available to try out in sim rigs at International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) endurance race events and will be available to try and purchase in the Hardpoint race shop. As part of the agreement, and as an official sponsor of the Hardpoint esports team, Asetek SimSports™ branding will be prominent during iRacing events.
"What André and the Asetek team have done is uncanny, and something other sim racing gear providers have struggled with – to bring a real racecar feel to sim racing," said Rob Ferriol , President and IMSA driver at Hardpoint. "I am pleased to have this collaboration to bring the experience of driving a real racecar to the racing community - whether sim racers wanting to reach their apex, or real racers training to improve lap speeds."
The racing simulators with Asetek SimSports™ Invicta™ pedals, will be available to try out this season at the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship race at Virginia International Raceway, Hardpoint's home track, August 26 - 28 , and the 2022 Motul Petit Le Mans, held at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia , October 7 - 9 .
In addition to featuring the Invicta™ pedals, the Hardpoint sim rigs employ Asetek's premium liquid cooling technology to enable a cool stable system that stands the rigors of endless race sessions.
"It is exciting to have this cooperation with Rob and Hardpoint to bring our Invicta™ sim racing pedals to IMSA race events, starting with the WeatherTech Championship, one of the iconic races in the U.S.," said André Sloth Eriksen, founder and CEO of Asetek. "We specifically designed our Invicta™ pedals to provide a real racecar feel, so it is huge to have our pedals in Hardpoint sim rigs in the paddock at these major motorsports events in North America , and now customers can try out and buy our SimSports gear from the Hardpoint shop."
"Added to that, it will be a real thrill to all of us at Asetek to see Asetek SimSports™ kit being put through its paces by the Hardpoint esports team during iRacing events, and to know Asetek liquid cooling technology is enabling immersive experiences on the sim rigs," continued André Sloth Eriksen.

The high-quality GO Karts will help patients in long-term care deal with stress through gaming
GameAbove and Gamers Outreach have gifted 12 Gamers Outreach Karts (GO Kartsportable gaming kiosks) to Trinity Health St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor and Trinity Health St. Joseph Mercy Oakland hospitals. The two organizations visited the Ann Arbor location on Thursday, June 23, 2022 for a special ribbon-cutting ceremony and to welcome the new gaming kiosks.
Gamers Outreach builds the GO Karts specifically for hospitals—offering a form of recreation to kids and young adults in inpatient care. With this gift to Trinity Health's Ann Arbor and Oakland hospitals, the groups have expanded use of the GO Karts to also serve patients in the ERs and adult inpatient units. The hospitals combined have more than 1,000 beds and have been longtime health care leaders in their respective communities. GameAbove's contributions will help the two medical campuses provide a safe, engaging way to relieve the stress of ER visits and longer hospital stays, reduce feelings of isolation, and provide therapy in the form of video gaming.
"Gamers Outreach has made a significant impact in many lives. GameAbove is excited to help bring their innovative gaming solution to more patients in Michigan ," says GameAbove advisory board member Chris Kaufman . "Trinity Health St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor continues to play a pivotal role at EMU and in Ypsilanti—two special communities we advocate for through our mission."
GameAbove is a team of enthusiastic EMU alumni who have supported other impactful alumni-led organizations, including Gamers Outreach. GameAbove's donations to the organization's annual Gamers for Giving fundraiser included GO Karts provided to hospitals of its choice. GameAbove's ongoing partnership with EMU and presence throughout southeast Michigan aligned with the selected hospitals.
"We are grateful for this philanthropic investment from our friends at Gamers Outreach, GameAbove and EMU," says Alonzo Lewis , president, Trinity Health St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor and Livingston . "A hospital stay can be a stressful experience for anyone and especially for children and adolescents. These Gamers Outreach Karts are a welcome creative outlet to help improve the patient experience and contribute to physical and emotional healing."
Michigan -native and EMU graduate Zach Wigal founded Gamers Outreach. The organization hosts its annual Gamers for Giving fundraiser at the EMU Convocation Center (now George Gervin GameAbove Center) and started distributing GO Karts in 2009. The non-profit organization has since delivered kiosks to more than 360 hospitals across the world. The devices impact as many as 4 million patients each year. "Gamers Outreach truly appreciates GameAbove's support in our mission," said Wigal. "We also thank Trinity Health for partnering with us and allowing us to offer this form of wellness and entertainment to their patients."
Gamers Outreach plans to bring the Gamers for Giving fundraiser back in person in March 2023 at the George Gervin GameAbove Center.
GameAbove at EMU's primary focus is to help shape, inspire and support the current and future students at Eastern Michigan University by reaching new heights in learning through transformation and inspiration in the educational experience.
