Corsair-owned gaming peripherals division SCUF Gaming announced this week that it has signed a multi-year partnership with Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Under the terms of this new multi-year partnership, both organizations will work on a number of initiatives, including SCUF Gaming being promoted as the official controller of Oracle Red Bull Racing and Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing, a range of Oracle Red Bull Racing licensed controllers, the promotion of the SCUF Gaming brand across the Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing virtual car and jersey, custom built gaming content, and more.
“We are incredibly proud to be partnering with SCUF Gaming as we prepare to challenge for both the Drivers’ and Teams’ titles in F1 Sim Racing,” said Red Bull Technology Group Head of Esports Joe Soltysik. “The high performance controllers from the SCUF Gaming team look amazing and our drivers are so excited to get their hands on them. We look forward to seeing our partnership grow with SCUF Gaming and can’t wait to see our fans’ reactions to this unique collaboration.”
In addition, SCUF Gaming will provide Oracle Red Bull Racing partners with custom controllers and offer discounts to Paddock Members.
The deal is part of SCUF Gaming’s plan to make “significant investments in the Sim Racing category.” This news follows its recent acxquisition of the Fanatec Sim Racing product line. Corsair has plans to expand its newly acquired product offering, according to a release, and exposing that brand through partnerships like this one is part of that effort.
The Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing was launched in 2018 and is considered one of the most successful Formula One Sim Racing teams in the world; it currently competes in F1 Sim Racing and Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup.
