The SIM Racing section of Grupo Desportivo Comercial launches another challenge to motorsport fans, in particular of those who likes rallying, by launching a virtual version of the São Miguel Rally, an e-rally to be held between 22 and 28 June , using the game DiRT Rally 2.0, on PC (STEAM), Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms.
After the success of Azores Virtual Rally, now is the time to remember the old rear-wheel drive machines, with all their predicates, and challenge players to experience the rallies that were ran in the 80’s, both on machines – where it will be possible to drive the Datsun 240Z, the Lancia Stratos, the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 or the Renault 5 Turbo, among others – as well as old special stages used in previous versions of the real São Miguel Rallye, such as Monte Escuro, Santo António / Arribanas as well as the always iconic Sete Cidades and Tronqueira.
For this, the SIM Racing section of Grupo Desportivo Comercial invite you all to go on a journey to Wales where the layout, type of surface and weather conditions will reproduce rallying on those special stages on rainy and foggy days.
