eSports Watch: iRacing NEO Endurance Spa 500km

More racing footage for you from the iRacing championships, this time an extended look at the multi-class NEO Endurance race at the Spa-Francorchamps 500km raceway. The action is fast and furious, and despite clocking in at nearly three full hours, the entire race had so many amazing moments that the time just whizzes by, especially in good part to the excellent commentary team and slick production values of the crew.

The live race is brought to you by GlacierTV, who has nearly brought an entire professional level of TV quality presentation values to the iRacing community. I'm especially impressed with their ability to keep up to date on all the action happening on the raceway, as well as being able to personalize and narrate the stories that unfold on the track.

Right now, things like StarCraft, League of Legends and even the EVO tournaments are still very niche, and have yet to breach the mainstream mostly because a lot of gaming arenas still aren't viewed by the general public as anything more than child's play. However, as games continue to push the boundaries of realism and media production crews like GlacierTV continue to pump out quality coverage in the way that they have, eSports will only continue to grow, even if it's not quite as rapidly as many other major sports.
