Gameplay
Rennsport is a simulation, combined with custom Unreal Engine 5 graphics. Esports is a major focus in Rennsport; the game is closely tied to and was formally unveiled alongside the ESL R1 tournament. The game was originally released on early access with a free-to-play business model, also featuring a battle pass. This was later discontinued ahead of its launch in favor of a traditional buy-to-play model.
Development
Details on Rennsport were revealed on 8 April 2022 by Competition Company. According to the developers, the team behind the game consisted of "professional drivers, racing strategists, programmers, and esports experts." It would be developed using Unreal Engine 5 as its graphics engine, modding would be a feature, and players would be able to trade digital assets, with personal cars containing their own vehicle identification number. Competition Company CEO Morris Hebecker clarified that the game's digital assets would not be non-fungible tokens. A partnership with ESL was also announced.
Competition Company and Teyon faced allegations during Rennsport's closed beta stage regarding the game's internal physics code, which was found to be identical to the isiMotor 2.5 engine used in rFactor 2. Both teams wrote a blog post in response, stating that they had acquired a license to the isiMotor engine directly from Image Space Incorporated, using it as a foundation to create a physics build for the game. Competition Company CEO Morris Hebecker affirmed that all internal code was "created by us, commissioned, or licensed appropriately". Studio 397 and Motorsport Games, developer and publisher of rFactor 2 respectively, released a joint statement denying any involvement with Competition Company or Teyon, stating that they had not issued a license to them, or to any other developer.
Reception
Rennsport received "mixed" reviews from critics according to review aggregator website Metacritic, and weak approval from fellow aggregator OpenCritic with 19% of critics recommending the game. Many critics concluded that Rennsport felt unfinished, with some likening the gameplay to a beta release or an early access game, though others agreed that the game featured a solid foundation to build from.
