More and more people, especially young people, are interested in motorsports, especially with the rise of Netflix series, Formula 1: drive to survive. It is from this observation that Jonathan Behar began. The entrepreneur thus chose to create Icon X World with the aim of bringing “the emotion of motorsport to 99% of the people who do not practice it”.
The principle of Icon X World is based on a classic racing game, but to bring an additional challenge and the same excitement as Formula 1, the financial dimension has been added, as explained by Jonathan Behar, Tech&Co guest at Paris Blockchain. Week.
Close to eSports
Because to enjoy the game you have to participate in tournaments, with friends or strangers, betting money. And just like the “Free Park” box in Monopoly, the winner of the race walks away with the entire jackpot, in cryptocurrency, to “simplify financial flows,” according to the Icon X World founder.
What do you think of a possible addiction? For Jonathan Behar, “everything is extremely regulated. It’s not a game of chance, but rather a game affiliated with electronic sports where piloting skills are required.”
People will thus be able to play from home (the game will be available in the coming weeks) thanks to the work done by the communities working on the Asseto Corsa game.
And the objective of the players will be the same as that of the classic car drivers: to get the most points for their team, here their “clan”. Icon X World, already a partner of the French alpine team, has also announced a partnership with Aston Martin Racing and its partner GT4 Mirage Racing team.
