eCLUTCH brings immersive Esports Action to CABSAT 2025

eCLUTCH, the game-changing esports content platform, is set to make a bold impression at CABSAT 2025—the region’s leading event for content, broadcast, and satellite industries—taking place May 13–15 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. This year, eCLUTCH is partnering with Eutelsat, one of the world’s foremost satellite providers, to deliver a high-octane esports activation featuring a fully- branded iRacing simulator competition—live on the show floor at the Eutelsat booth.

In this immersive experience, attendees will compete in real-time behind the wheel of a professional-grade racing simulator, going head-to-head in timed iRacing sessions. The competition will run throughout the exhibition, culminating in a winner announcement on May 14, day two of the event.

The simulator installation is powered by cutting-edge equipment provided by INIT, and the experience is hosted and fully supported by Eutelsat. As a global leader in satellite broadcasting, Eutelsat plays a pivotal role in enabling eCLUTCH to deliver next- generation esports content with global scale and reliability—bridging traditional pay-TV and digital-first audiences.

“CABSAT gives us the perfect platform to showcase how eCLUTCH is reinventing esports content delivery,” said Arnaud Verlhac, Managing Director at eCLUTCH. “With Eutelsat's powerful infrastructure and strategic vision behind us, we’re not just launching an experience—we’re broadcasting the future of esports to the world.”

“This partnership with eCLUTCH reflects our commitment to enabling the future of media and entertainment through satellite innovation. We’re thrilled to support a platform that is pushing boundaries and delivering next-generation content to global audiences,” said Annamaria Recchia, VP, Commercial Development, Marketing & Product at Eutelsat.

“We also want to extend our sincere thanks to INIT for providing the simulator that powers this activation,” added Verlhac. “Their support and technical expertise allow us to bring the competitive spirit of iRacing directly to CABSAT attendees in a truly immersive way.”
