OverTake is now officially live and ready to become your new hotspot for all things esports racing holds up for you. To celebrate our launch, we will host a special launch stream on Twitch with some of your favorite personalities in sim and arcade racing: the Clash of Racers!

Our Nitro Nights hosts Melek ‘m3lly’ Balgün and Tom Deacon will lead through the event. We have an entertaining show for you in store, but you are not just confined to cheering for the racers on screen – you can participate as well!

When does it start? On Sunday, June 21, at 6.00 PM CEST.
Where can I watch? Simply tune into our official Twitch channel Overtake_gg.
Who is going to play? Two team captains will lead the squads live in our studio. They will be joined by three esports racers and/or influencers and one community racer.
What are we playing? The teams have to compete in seven games: iRacing, Trackmania 2 Stadium, GT Sport, F1 2019/2020, Forza Motorsport 7, Assetto Corsa Competizione and Mario Kart.

The show is called “Clash of Racers” and the name says it all: the two teams are going to duel each other in a mini-Olympics, with a total of seven races in different esports racing and arcade titles. Each team consists of four well-known racers, as well as one of you guys: a community racer. After every discipline, the teams get awarded points depending on their performance.

How can you participate in the Clash of Racers?

Become a community racer and join the captains

If you actively want to be on the show and race together with the racers on set: don’t worry, we got you! As mentioned above, each team features a special community driver.

To take over the community driver’s seat in our Clash of Racers competition, you have to complete a fun challenge in Forza Motorsport 7 beforehand.

Challenge: Complete a lap with the three following missions on the track Spa in Belgium. Whoever has the fastest lap wins a spot in the team.
Missions: Do two donuts in Raidillon, hit 260 km/h before Les Combes and drive the last chicane (bus-stop) backwards.
Share your stunts: Everything needs to be in one round without editing. Upload the clip to YouTube and use the hashtag #OverTakeChallenge. You can also share it on social media afterwards with the same hashtag.

Not only can you present your skills on Twitch and race with our personalities, there will also be great prizes waiting for our community racers: Both participants will get a brand-new AOC AG272FCX6 Gaming Monitor.

Take part in our racing raffle to win prizes

You still have the chance to win some upgrades for your simracing rig, even if you’re camera shy. We don’t only have special gifts for our community drivers, there will also be a separate raffle for all of you, starting on June 15. Make sure to follow us on Twitter so you won’t miss any updates on how to participate. But for now, take a look at the awesome prizes which are waiting for you:

1st pize: MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming
2nd prize: SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless headset + Xbox One controller
3rd prize: Steam voucher

Vote for your favorite driver and decide the upcoming circuits

You don’t have to stay silent while you watch either. Make use of the interactive Twitch chat and have a say in what’s going on. Every time the teams are about to enter a new race, you can vote for the race track or the car the drivers have to compete with.

On top of that, you have influence over who is going to be crowned the winners of Clash of Racers. Throughout the event, there will be an ongoing community vote for which team’s performance you liked best. All participants collect points depending on how well they are doing in the event. In the end, the points from the community will be added to the total score – which might be a crucial advantage for your favourite player.
