The BIG Volvic Charity Race returns for 2022

Continuing with our successful format from last year, the BIG Volvic Charity Race 2022 will see five professional players and five community qualificants duke it out in Trackmania on special Volvic themed maps! The community will receive the opportunity to play with some of Trackmania’s best, while raising money for UNICEF’s WASH program that provides children and their families with access to drinking water, hygiene and sanitation supplies and services.

Last year we were able to raise over 10,000€ through Volvic and community efforts!

Community participants will be decided by a week-long qualification process where entrants will be able to play the special Volvic Trackmania maps, and achieve the best possible records before the phase ends. We will be sharing more information in the upcoming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!

Statement Philipp Neubauer, CMO Bigleet GmbH – Berlin International Gaming (BIG)

Last year’s BIG Volvic Charity Race was a huge success, bringing professional players and the community together for a great cause. With BIG Massa, aTTaX. GranaDy, KC Bren, Sprout Scrapie and Alliance Spam we have an impressive pro player lineup that elevates the event and makes for great matchups, especially once the five best community drivers come into play for our final on the 30th. Even if not a Trackmania veteran, make sure to check out our custom made BIG Volvic Charity Race maps between the 21st and the 28th of October.

It is our collective goal to establish this format and create an entertaining event for many more years to come!

We are very happy that the BIG Volvic Charity race will take place for its second iteration this October. The success of last year’s Charity race has shown, that it’s not only a lot of fun racing and competing on the special Volvic themed maps, but that we as a community can also make a difference by raising money for UNICEF’s WASH program that provides children and their families with access to drinking water, hygiene, sanitation supplies and services.

Everyone: Start warming up the engines – It’s time to race @ BIG Volvic Charity Race 2022!

The success of the last few years has shown that it is not only a lot of fun to ride and compete on the special Volvic themed maps, but that we as a community can also make a difference.
