Supercar Sim Racing Platform Web3 GP (WGPX) Combines Pursuit of Speed with Ownership

By Ceecee Wong

Merging Web3 GameFi mechanics with open-source technology from some of the best AAA racing sims, Web3 GP sets to take the racing game genre by storm.

For fans of racing simulators, the fine line between realism and nonstop arcade action is the most exciting aspect of the game genre. We’re addicted to the breakneck speed, the heart-pounding competition, and yes, even the big crashes. But we also love the sense of progress we feel when we are able to tweak our vehicles and build a garage of supercars more expensive than our wildest dreams.

And what could be more exhilarating than a garage of virtual supercars that you actually own?

This is the premise put forth by Web3 GP, a ground-breaking racing sim platform that puts NFT supercars on virtual racetracks and rewards players with $WGPX tokens for winning races. The platform merges  Play-to-Earn (P2E) mechanics with open-source technology from some of the hottest racing sim titles — including Gran Turismo 7, Automobilista 2, Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, iRacing and Project Cars 2 — to ensure a highly accurate digital experience that mirrors the actual feel of sitting in the driver’s seat of a real supercar on the hot asphalt.

Web3 GP has painstakingly recreated some of the most iconic racetracks in the world in vivid detail — racing enthusiast top destinations such as Daytona, Nürburgring and Le Mans will not disappoint. Meanwhile, some of the supercars represented in the game include top offerings from McLaren, Mercedes, Bugatti, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Pagani, Zenso and Lamborghini. These courses and cars are all absolutely legendary for their breathtaking speed and design, pitting sim racers in fierce competitions that test their skills and precision to the fullest.

Supercars Meet Super Web3 Tech

The Web3 GP platform also uses some of the most cutting-edge technology in the crypto/blockchain space today. $WGPX tokens are built on the Bitcoin ledger using inscriptions innovations to leverage the iron-clad security infrastructure architecture of the original blue-chip crypto. This grants the Web3 GP platform the strong multi-layered security that Bitcoin is known for.

Web3 GP players earn WGPX in play for completing achievements such as setting new speed records, winning races and tournaments, and setting new milestones. WGPX tokens can be used to purchase in-game assets (Ordinal NFTs) such as race cars, skins, and accessories, giving drivers a chance to truly own their race cars and their racing experiences.
