As part of the partnership, Millennial is providing attendees with the chance to participate in live Gear.Club races using immersive racing simulators. Previously used only as part of the wildly successful Gear.Club Cash Races series, this is the first time the simulators will be available outside of thE Arena, Millennial’s dedicated Las Vegas Esports arena.

“We’ve had such a great response to the live races, and such great feedback on the purpose-built simulators that we wanted to give more gamers the chance to enjoy the full Gear.Club experience,” said Millennial Esports’ Andy Kuhlman, general manager of thE Arena. “We couldn’t think of a better opportunity than LVL UP EXPO, which every gamer has circled on their calendar. We’re excited to work with Colten and the team and are expecting an absolutely fantastic weekend.”

Using four immersive live racing simulators, individuals race against friends and other racers on Millennial’s proprietary racing game title, Gear.Club. The unique never-before-seen competitive experience, played on Gear.Club Unlimited for Nintendo Switch, provides gamers with a heart pounding thrill ride and the thrill of beating their competitors. Available throughout the weekend at LVL UP EXPO, it is an exciting opportunity for both long-time and new fans of Gear.Club to take their passion for racing to the next level in real competition.

“We’ve been fans of Gear.Club for a long time and what the guys at Millennial are doing with the simulators is taking it to a whole new level,” said Colten Pipken of LVL UP EXPO. “We’re thrilled to be able to partner with Millennial at this year’s conference and are super excited for all our attendees to have a chance to try their hand at real world racing.”
