"The Vendée Globe is magic," says Philippe Guigné, creator of Virtual Regatta. "In this race there is: adventure, emotion, toughness, technology, effort and fierce competition." It is also the unique partnership between the SAEM Vendée and Virtual Regatta which created a thin line between the virtual and the real world, based on the respect of the players for their "real" brothers."
"The Virtual Regatta NEWS", is a new feature in the 2012-13 Vendee Globe edition. Produced and hosted by Media Cypok and presented by Sébastien Destremau. With already more than 30 million views, it was one of the bigger successes of the virtual race, which really amazed us.
At this time the virtual sailors have travelled over 7688151331 nautical miles (15 billion km) the oceans of the world! Just to compare it: its 10 times the distance from the earth to the sun.
6.5 million Messages are exchanged between the players ... and we're still counting! As the leader and likely winner, nowadays gets hundreds of messages per day to support him through the tough last miles. He already apologizing that he will not be able to reply to everyone…
