Tony Kanaan Turns Auto Racing Success and Insights Into Tech Partnership

-  Jeremy Glowacki

As Close to Real Racing...As You Can Get

The pandemic impacted Tony Kanaan’s quarter-century auto racing career in multiple ways back in 2020. First, the world-renowned Brazilian driver’s NTT IndyCar Series retirement plans were stymied because he could not take a celebratory lap to honor fans in what would have been his final season. Then, in an unexpected twist, Kanaan (TK) and fellow professional drivers realized an opportunity to expand their careers virtually by embracing simulation or sim racing. This experience, in turn (no pun intended) led to a new business venture between Kanaan, retailer Micro Center, and custom integrator Millennium Sounds.

The TK Racing Elite Rig is marketed by Micro Center as “the sim racing rig you have been looking for to get that unmatched virtual racing simulation experience.” Kanaan integrated his own experience and preferences into the TK Racing Elite Rig, which is made from heavy-duty aluminum for endurance and durability. The Kanaan-approved design also offers flexibility, ergonomics, comfort, and accessibility. This is all thanks to its adjustable components that allow sim racers to tweak their posture and position while ensuring uninterrupted play. Both the keyboard plate and the mouse tray are emblazoned with Tony Kanaan’s official autograph.

The TK Racing Elite Rig offers superior compatibility with all major brands. No matter what kind of game system or game controllers you use, the Elite Rig will ensure superior performance thanks to its universal compatibility. As a result, players do not have to hunt for different game consoles and controllers, which increases affordability. The Millennium Sounds version offers even better monitors and the highest quality wheel and drive.
