The Kiwi insurance company says it’s “proud to make its mark” on New Zealand’s thriving eSports industry as the headline sponsor of the event, broadcast by LetsPlay.Live.
“We’re excited to bring motor racing enthusiasts together in a new digital arena,” says Star Insurance Specialists CEO Nicholas Baker. “We enjoy exploring new opportunities to connect with our customers, who appreciate our innovative products, and deliver on our promise to create extraordinary insurance for Kiwis with exceptional vehicles.”
“As a specialist insurance company, we’re excited to be involved in something new,” says Baker. “eSports has an unrecognised mass-market attraction, and a lot of our products are tailored towards motor-sport enthusiasts.”

“The older generation of baby boomers spent a lot of time on classic cars from a mechanical sense, but there’s a younger generation that also shares a great passion for performance vehicles,” says Baker. “One of their passions is being involved in the eSports fraternity, so this is a great way of tapping into that demographic.”
