LG Joins Tuason Racing And Phoenix Pulse In #RaceForFrontliners
Tuason Racing School, in collaboration with Phoenix Pulse, held a virtual challenge earlier this week to bring together auto racing and gaming aficionados to aid the country’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tuason Racing will contribute a meal to one of Metro Manila’s frontline hospitals for every e-racer who participates. Apart from the commitment to serve meals, the gathering was also successful in bringing together cash donations, which will be distributed directly to the brave frontline workers.
“One of the joys of our 21st year in company has been expanding into E-sports. We’ve been bringing racers from all around the world to compete. This time, we’re launching a virtual career ladder,” Tuason explained. “Given the current situation, we believe we can kill two birds with one stone. The first is to be able to aid frontline workers. The second goal is to give racing fans something to do at home while they wait for the curve to flatten.” He went on to say.
LG Philippines also joins the #RaceForFrontliners as Tuason Racing’s official display partner. After the Enhanced Community Quarantine is lifted, LG’s industry-leading OLED TVs will be used to broadcast the race live during the Live Games. LG’s OLED TV technology is a flexible gaming partner thanks to its fast reaction, fluid motion, clear details, and certified eye comfort display. LG’s UltraGear Gaming Display is ideal if you want a dedicated gaming monitor that allows you to fully immerse yourself in every aspect of the virtual world.
“We respect and heartily support Tuason Racing School and Phoenix Pulse for their initiative in both helping out the frontliners as well as promoting an environment of friendly competition,” LG Managing Director Inkwun Heo says of LG’s participation in the online race. Everyone needs a feeling of normalcy during these difficult times. We at LG would be delighted to assist in any manner we can.”
The next #RaceForFrontliners online elimination event hosted by Tuason Racing will take place on April 29th. Tuason Racing CEO and Founder JP Tuason will host the event, which will be live streamed on their Facebook page.
