The Random Race: A Challenge of Surprises in iRacing
In 2023, a groundbreaking competition took place in the world of esports: "The Random Race". Designed and organized by myself, this virtual competition on the iRacing racing simulator offered a unique experience that challenged participants in unexpected ways.
The name "The Random Race" encapsulated the essence of the event. This name was chosen because the combination of circuit and vehicle would be completely random, which could create genuine mayhem on the track depending on the outcome. One of the most distinctive features of this competition was the total uncertainty surrounding the participants: the circuit and the car they would compete in were a surprise revealed only hours before the start of the race. This unique approach ensured that competitors did not have the opportunity to prepare specifically for the track or vehicle conditions, adding an element of excitement and adaptability to the competition.
The art direction and graphic design of "The Random Race" were based on my creativity. Inspired by the theme of the competition, the promotional design was a nod to the "madness" that awaited us on the track. From the intriguing logo to the graphics used in communications and live broadcasts, each visual element was designed to convey the excitement and unpredictability that defined "The Random Race".
