ROKiT Flix Releases Racing Star

ROKiT Flix, a free streaming service without advertisements, has dropped all six one-hour episodes of its new esports docuseries Racing Star.

Conceived and implemented by Jonathan Kendrick, the chairman of ROKiT Industries, and the late Bob Fernley, the ROKiT Racing Star series follows the search for new driving talent and chronicles competitive sim-drivers in the U.K. from the ages of 14 to 16 racing for the opportunity to go from simulation to reality.

ROKiT Flix launched in May 2023 and offers a library of family-friendly and diverse entertainment including 3D animation, classic cartoons, animated shorts, educational content and motion comics.

Kendrick said, “I’m so proud that Bob and I were able to put this tremendous project together before he passed away because we both shared the view that giving young sim-driving talent the chance to progress to top-level competitive real-world motorsport in fully-funded seats, removing the usually impossibly demanding financial barriers faced by most wannabe drivers, was a tremendous thing to do.

“We saw this as a way to give something back to motorsport and I’m really pleased to see what a fantastic success it has been with our very own Deagen Fairclough, one of the winners of the inaugural competition who could never have afforded to race at this level, becoming the most successful race winner in Formula 4 history and currently leading the 2024 championship by an astonishing 138 points!”

Kendrick added, “I’m also very pleased to announce that we will begin another search for young driving talent shortly and details of ROKiT Racing Drivers, a global version of the original project, can be found at www.rokit.com.”
