Hinwil, 14 May 2024 – KICK F1 Sim Racing Team fought until the very last corner at the final Event of the 2023-2024 F1 Sim Racing World Championship, ultimately clinching second place in the drivers’ championship with Thomas Ronhaar and, thanks to the points of Brendon Leigh, second place in the teams’ championship.

It was a thrilling finale for one of the most closely fought seasons of F1 Sim Racing: Thomas headed into the final round in Abu Dhabi needing a 13-points swing to clinch the title and, despite an impressive performance that saw him lead the race until two laps to the flag, he was just short at the finish line. It was a commanding race from the young Dutchman, in just his second season of F1 Sim Racing: with all the pressure heaped on him, he kept calm and collected as he scythed through the field.

Supported by Brendon, whose points were crucial in snatching P2 in the teams’ championship from Red Bull Racing to finish runner-up to Ferrari, Thomas kept his dignity when racing, and can leave this season with his head held high, proud of his effort in the face of overwhelming odds on and off the track.

For KICK F1 Sim Racing Team, P2 in the teams’ standings represents a massive step forward from the past, and the best performance in five years. It’s but a building step, a confidence boost that will enable the team to continue its progression and return next season with the firm belief that the ultimate objective – the drivers’ and teams’ crowns – is within reach.

KICK F1 Sim Racing Team
P2 with 213 points
3 wins / 4 pole positions / 8 podiums
 
Andrea Bugnone, Team Manager: “I’m very pleased with our 2023-2024 season, despite the obvious disappointment of missing out on the drivers’ title for the tiniest of margins. This was a season in which we had many changes, starting from a new driver line-up, our association with R8G, and a new championship format, with the latter returning to LAN Events. The entire team has put in a lot of work in the past months, to ensure that Thomas [Ronhaar] and Brendon [Leigh] had the best structure around them, enabling them to focus on their racing performance. Looking back on our season, the team has done an incredible job securing P2 in the constructors’ championship, and Thomas missing out on the F1 Sim Racing World Champion title by only a few points. We’ve made a few mistakes along the way, which we’ve identified and which we’ll work on during the off-season to make sure we come back next season to secure the Constructors’ title. A special hats-off to Brendon, Thomas, our engineers, and R8G for the fantastic work done in the past months. A big thank you goes also to all our partners for supporting us. KICK F1 Sim Racing Team has made tremendous progress in the past year, going from P5 to P2 in the constructors’ standings. We’re more motivated than ever to adjust the missing details, keep progressing, and go racing again.”

Thomas Ronhaar
KICK F1 Sim Racing Team
P2 / 166 points
3 wins / 4 pole positions / 7 podiums

Round 8 / Mexico: P1
Round 9 / Brazil: P1
Round 10 / Las Vegas: P4
Round 11 / Qatar: P3
Round 12 / Abu Dhabi: P2

“After an eventful third event, we worked harder than ever to regain the positions lost. It was a huge challenge, with quite a gap, but with two wins on the first day, we were back in the fight for both championships. All was down to the last race, and literally to the last few corners in Abu Dhabi. Starting from pole position, I did all I could, but it was not enough to secure the title: however, P2 in only my second season is something I am proud of. Most importantly, in the end, we take home P2 in both championships in the 2023-2024 season, a well-deserved result for what is still a young team. For our first season as KICK F1 Sim Racing Team, it’s quite an achievement in the closest F1 Sim Racing championship ever. A lot has been learned and will still be learned throughout the coming period, and I can’t wait to get going again on F1 24 – we will be even stronger.”

Brendon Leigh
KICK F1 Sim Racing Team
P9 / 47 points
1 podium

Round 8 / Mexico: DNF
Round 9 / Brazil: P9
Round 10 / Las Vegas: P7
Round 11 / Qatar: P16
Round 12 / Abu Dhabi: P9

“I am proud of the whole team as we wrap up the season with second in the Constructors’ Championship. We have been pushing day in and day out together, searching for those marginal gains that can produce critical championship-defining moments. Ultimately, I feel extremely fortunate and privileged to work alongside such talented individuals that bring unique skill sets to the table. They are all different, but all very strong skill sets. Personally, my two highlights for this season were the podium in COTA, whose points helped me surpass 500 points in my total career’s tally. I wasn’t tracking this stat, in all honesty, so when I was told about it, it was a pleasant surprise that I feel is positively reflective of my career so far. It was a great moment to share with KICK F1 Sim Racing Team. Now it is time for a reset, and to come back stronger for the upcoming F1 2024 release!”

Expansive Quality of Life Improvements and New Features Include Star Map 1.0 and New Cloud and Water Tech; Master Modes for More Intense Space Flight Combat

LOS ANGELES – May 13, 2024 – Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) today released the Star Citizen – Alpha 3.23: Adventure Beckons update, the largest patch to date featuring a diverse selection of content, feature, and systems updates and laying the foundation for a monumental year in Star Citizen. The ‘verse is brimming with life and now features the first native wildlife for the Stanton system; the small, bird-like marok and the more dangerous hound-like kopian pest can be found across habitable planets and feature their own unique behaviors as they’ve adapted to humanity encroaching on their territory. While nature holds its own beauty, pilots will have plenty to sink their own teeth into between the introduction of massive new Distribution Centers throughout Stanton where players can pick up a variety of combat and non-combat missions and an expansion to the Arena Commander mode adding new space, ground, and experimental objectives available to play. With expansive improvements across visuals and tech, the addition of the sleek new Mirai Pulse and Pulse LX hoverbikes, game-changing flight courtesy of Master Modes and a re-tuning of all ships currently in the game, a wide range of new features and improvements for ground-based FPS combat, and expanded support for the New Player Experience, the ‘verse has never been a more exciting and welcoming place for pilots to explore.

“Adventure Beckons is our most expansive patch to date, delivering on many of our commitments like Master Modes and the introduction of our first native wildlife, while continuing our rapid inclusion of content and features from Squadron 42 shown at last year’s CitizenCon,” said Star Citizen Creative Director Chris Roberts. “The year is just getting started for Star Citizen, and this patch lays the foundation for much bigger plans in the works for the rest of 2024. We’re all eager to share these exciting additions that will be arriving during our upcoming Invictus Launch Week and beyond!”

Star Citizen – Alpha 3.23: Adventure Beckons key features include the following and more:

• Meet the Wildlife, Marok and Kopian: Life finds a way. Star Citizen’s first native animals have been added to the game, complete with bespoke behaviors fitting their evolutionary paths. Players will begin seeing the small marok bird soaring through the skies, using its proportionally enormous wingspan to travel vast distances with ease as it follows migratory fish. With the addition of humans to their habitat, they’ve been observed feeding on refuse and leftovers as well. While they present no threat to humans, the same can’t be said for the hound-like kopian. This pest creature is more than a nuisance, and brave citizens will be charged with dealing with wild packs of these hounds, just be sure to bring plenty of ammo.
• Mirai’s Pulse and Pulse LX Hoverbikes Bring Portable Thrills: It’s about the journey, the thrill. Mirai adds its signature fusion of advanced technology and functional elegance with a pair of hoverbikes that offer an unparalleled connection between rider and machine. The Mirai Pulse pushes the boundaries for what an ‘all round’ hoverbike can be, combining integrated light weapons for defense with an ultra-light frame and extreme performance capable of outrunning almost anything it can’t outgun. Shedding its weapons to improve speed and handling, the Pulse LX is a visual spectacle that brings racing prowess and sophisticated styling. Both hoverbikes are extremely portable, fitting in almost any ship’s cargo bay for terrestrial exploration almost anywhere.
• Master Modes Makes its Galactic Debut: Flying in the ‘verse will never be the same again. Originally tested in patch 3.20, Master Modes is designed to add further intensity and strategy to ship-to-ship combat and foster exciting dogfighting scenarios. All ships now function in either Navigation Mode (NAV) maintaining a spooled quantum drive for both manual quantum travel and quick-travel to specific locations while disabling most offensive and defensive capabilities, and Standard Control Mode (SCM), with full access to weapons, shields, and devices at the cost of considerable speed. Transitioning between modes takes the flip of a switch and a few seconds for systems to power down and up respectively. All ships have been re-tuned for this significant change to space flight.
• Welcome to the Distribution Center: Adventure Beckons introduces the first iteration of distribution centers throughout the Stanton system. These massive structures can be accessed from the planetary surface, with underground levels to open in later updates, and serve as mission hubs for law abiding players. Personal ground transportation is recommended for traversing these immense establishments, especially as they expand with additional underground levels.
• Fly, Shoot, and Problem Solve in Arena Commander: New maps and gameplay opportunities have arrived in Star Citizen’s ‘game within a game’. Miner’s Lament is a close-quarters dogfighter’s dream come true, or worst nightmare, as pilots fight through the asteroid-laden ring around Yela where the rocks are as deadly as other pilots.
• Plot a Course with the Star Map: The Star Map has reached its 1.0 update, rolling out a full 3D view of the system to all pilots. Locations can now be searched by name, with additional functionality to automatically plot a course from the present location. The update marks the introduction of a brand-new FPS map for boots on the ground, aiding players to navigate sprawling landing zones or even the interior layout of their ship. With the Star Map, a citizen is never truly lost.
• FPS Combat Upgrades Deliver More Immersion: Outside of the safety of a cockpit the ‘verse can be a dangerous place, and Adventure Beckons ensures that fighting and surviving is as engaging and enjoyable on foot as it is from ship to ship. FPS combat has never looked or felt more authentic thanks to a range of visual improvements including improved sprinting animations and a new dynamic crosshair option for a more realistic look of exactly where the muzzle of a weapon is aimed at. The feel of combat has been enhanced for additional immersion, with the inclusion of ‘backpack reloading’ for slower access to additional stored magazines, and procedural recoil for all weapons, ensuring every engagement is a truly unique experience.
• New Cloud Tech and Visual Options: The volumetric cloud technology in Star Citizen has been updated to improve both performance and visual quality, adding ground fog and volumetric shadows as visual options. Additional performance improvements come with support for image upscaling solutions including DLSS, FSR , and an in-house developed TSR solution. Following the addition of over 20 new hairstyles in Alpha 3.22, the character customization system has been overhauled with a new user interface and many new additional customization options.
• Welcoming New Players to all Landing Zones: The improved New Player Experience, originally released for Area18 in Alpha 3.19, has been expanded and is now supported on all starting locations. While the same core skills are taught at each location, new players can now choose to begin high in the cloud city of Orison, in the mining town of Lorville owned and operated by Hurston Dynamics, on New Babbage which is both a bustling major trading hub and home to high-end electronic companies, or back at Area18’s urban downtown where bright lights attract commerce and entertainment.

Star Citizen combines classic space sim and FPS gameplay with boundary-pushing visuals in a massively multiplayer setting of unprecedented fidelity. Live how you want to live: shift paths from cargo hauler to outlaw, explorer, or any other role whenever you want. Explore multiple planets and moons, including vast cities and underground caverns, all created with a unique combination of procedural planet technology and complementary hand-crafted design.

Bandai Namco Europe S.A.S. today announced the launch of PAC-MAN™ MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE™: CHOMP CHAMPS, a fast-paced and furious take on PAC-MAN™ multiplayer featuring cross-play on consoles and PC for 64-player battles across a variety of colourful interconnected mazes. The game is available now in Standard and Deluxe editions on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X | S, and PC via Steam®.

Watch the trailer below:

Everything except the maze is edible in PAC-MAN MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE: CHOMP CHAMPS, where players chomp their way through pellets, power-ups, GHOSTS, and even other PACs across multiple interconnected mazes to become the Chomp Champ – a.k.a. the last PAC standing at the end of each match. The title is the first multiplayer PAC-MAN game that is cross platform and features a Friend system that lets up to four players join the same match, track each other’s progress, and spectate their friends’ games. Game modes include Elimination Mode with arcade-style action where players of any rank can compete and earn Tokens to redeem on customization items, and Ranked Mode where players are paired with similarly skilled opponents from around the world and compete for their place on regional and global leaderboards.

In a game where players’ PACs can chomp other PACs, it’s only natural that almost anything goes. PAC-MAN MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE: CHOMP CHAMPS features a variety of Power Items that not only boost players’ abilities but can enlist the GHOSTS as allies of convenience. Players can gain power ups such as enhanced speed, shields, and more to help their PACs or help the GHOSTS chase down the competition. While game skills are the best way to stand out in a field of 64 players, the many customisation options in the game let players make their PAC their own, competing in a whole other field – style bragging rights. PACs in the game are customizable with a variety of body, head, and face cosmetics, opening the way for some of the most inventive and colourful variations on the iconic yellow mascot.
