Das Race Goal will take place at the BMW Welt, which is located just outside the automotive marque\u2019s headquarters in Munich. The tournament will feature a range of personalities from esports organisations that are a part of BMW\u2019s \u2018United in Rivalry\u2019 initiative.

Dorian Gorr, Managing Director of<\/strong>\u00a0Veritas<\/strong>, spoke on the project: <\/span>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen in the past how much the global gaming community can achieve when we work together. Combining a unique entertaining real-life video game with an amazing cause is something that truly excites us and will definitely resonate with the gaming community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Das Race Goal has been created to align with the UN\u2019s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The event is the first in a joint project to raise funds for programmes that support young people in the Caribbean and Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n
