Veloce Esports has today (26 August) announced that, together with its partner Motion Simulation, will launch two all-new simulators. The revolutionary TL3 Series is available to order now alongside its smaller counterpart – the LC Series which is available to order from October.

Established in 2008, Motion Simulation has spent the last 13 years completing extensive R&D, working with a World Championship Formula 1 team, a leading university and professional racing drivers to develop truly world-first, market-leading technologies and products.

Having worked together with Motion Simulation over the past three years, Veloce announced a partnership agreement earlier this year focussing on product development and sales.

Test drives at Veloce HQ

Demonstration TL Series and LC Series simulators are available for test drives on the following date at the Veloce Headquarters in Fulham, London:

• Tuesday 7th September

To secure your early test drive please book a slot via [email protected] stating your interest as soon as possible, as places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If you cannot make this date, let us know we will see how we may be able to accommodate you.

The TL3 Series

The TL3 Simulator sets the benchmark for fully immersive racing car experiences and features the world’s first variable driving position cockpit and portable 200-degree spherical screen.

New for 2022 TL3 features include ultra-high performance, low latency direct drive steering for the most accurate force feedback solution on the market, a revolutionary airwave system forcing cool air towards the drivers’ hands and face as well as an auto-tension G-Harness that accurately replicates the braking g forces felt by a driver in a real-world racing car.

These immersive features and many more are included on the 2022 TL3 Series designed for commercial or high net worth individuals that want the very best. Prices for the TL Series start at £49,995 exc tax and shipping.

The LC Series

Veloce has been using Motion Simulation’s TL3 simulator for over 3 years as an advanced training tool for real-world racing drivers including its Extreme E and W Series driver Jamie Chadwick, two-time Formula E champion Jean-Eric Vergne and The World’s Fastest Gamer James Baldwin.

This experience has shown a growing need for premium Esports and home use simulator products and so, the LC Series was born. Bringing the quality, design, ergonomics and innovative features from the TL Series into a more compact, portable solution specifically developed for these emerging markets.

Features of the LC Series include the world’s first variable driving position cockpit allowing the user to easily switch from Formula to GT to Sports and Saloon car driving positions and Rigid Lock, a system that quickly and easily allows the driver to adjust their steering wheel position within seconds. As well as market-leading ergonomics, the LC Series will be available in Standard or “Pro” packages (which include specifically designed mounting plates for pro-level steering and pedals). Veloce-developed options including single and triple screen TV/monitor stand with variable height adjustment as well as various motion options with pitch, roll and heave movements.

Prices for the LC Series start at just £995* without a seat or £1395 with one of two seat options. The Pro Series starts at £1695*. There will be full turnkey (plug and play) packages which include controls, PC and screens being made available, pricing TBC.

Esports and live events operator says it stayed profitable in 2025 and plans 15 arena events across 13 cities in 2026.

BLAST has opened a New York City headquarters in Brooklyn as the company reported record growth and profitability in 2025, including more than $133 million in revenue and over 40% year-over-year growth.

The new U.S. headquarters is located at 45 Main Street in Brooklyn within a shared 55,000-square-foot office space. BLAST said the hub will support partnerships, live events and commercial growth across North America as it expands its U.S. operations.

The North American push is being led by Chief Business Officer Leo Matlock, who has relocated to New York, alongside Steve Rossi, who joined earlier this year as SVP of Brand Partnerships. BLAST said its U.S. team has grown to eight full-time employees.

BLAST said it has staged seven tier-one esports events in North America over the past 16 months, across Austin, Fort Worth, Boston, Raleigh, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. The company cited “more than $102 million” in economic impact from the 2025 BLAST.tv Austin Major alone, including more than $9 million in hotel expenditures. It also recently announced the Rocket League World Championship will return to Fort Worth in September 2026.

In 2025, BLAST said its broadcasts delivered more than 2 billion live views globally and 300 million hours watched, spanning live events in 22 cities worldwide. The company also said it distributes content via 29 broadcast partners, including SuperSport, France TV and RTBF, reaching audiences in more than 150 territories and 30+ languages.

“Competitive entertainment has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in global media because it combines community, technology and live experiences in entirely new ways,” said Robbie Douek, CEO of BLAST. “The next generation of fans want entertainment that feels participatory, social and global by default. That shift is creating enormous opportunities for brands, publishers, creators and host cities, and we believe BLAST is uniquely positioned to help lead that evolution after a landmark year in 2025.” BLAST said it plans to host 15 arena events across 13 cities and three continents in 2026.
