UK Jockey Club Again Chooses Inspired to Produce Virtual Grand National Races on April 8th
For the sixth consecutive year, Inspired Entertainment, Inc. will produce the Virtual Grand National (VGN) race and Virtual Grand National Race of Champions, kicking off the excitement of the 2022 Grand National Festival.
The two virtual races, developed in conjunction with Carm Productions, will delight viewers again the day before the one of the most famous race of all time. The Virtual Grand National brings to life the actual 40 horses and riders, in an attempt to predict the outcome of the 2022 Grand National. The Virtual Grand National Race of Champions tests previous winners and other legendary horses as they run against each other.
Arkle, an Irish Grand National, three-time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner and one of the greatest steeplechasers in horse racing history, will make his debut in Inspired’s Virtual Grand National Race of Champions. Arkle will join National Hunt legends such as Desert Orchid, Dawn Run, Tiger Roll, and Kauto Star as they compete against twenty Grand National winners, led by the legendary Red Rum.
“I’m delighted to announce the return of Inspired’s Virtual Grand National races as a curtain-raiser for one of the world’s greatest horse races,” said Brooks Pierce, President and Chief Operating Officer of Inspired. “We have gained worldwide recognition for our virtual events, and the Virtual Grand National races are truly a unique product. Once again, they will add a compelling experience to our customers’ retail and digital channels in advance of the year’s highest-profile horse race.”
“The technology we use to produce the Virtual Grand National races is a unique predictive offering that can be applied to many other sports events,” said Steve Rogers, Chief Commercial Officer, Virtual Sports for Inspired. “Our software uses a vast array of data points, including historical performance of participants, to make predictions about who will win the 2022 Grand National, widely considered to be one of the most unpredictable events in the world.”
“We are delighted to be working with Inspired on the Virtual Grand National races for a sixth consecutive year,” said Carm Productions’ Rob McLoughlin, OBE, who devised the TV format for UK and international broadcasters. “The realism and quality of graphics in Inspired’s Virtual Grand National races deliver a premium experience, and I have no doubt that viewers will be thrilled with the opportunity to watch Arkle make his debut in the Virtual Grand National Race of Champions.”
In association with the Jockey Club, Inspired’s Virtual Grand National special will be broadcasted on ITV4 Friday, April 8th, 2022, at 9:15 pm (GMT) and again on April 9th at 1:00pm (GMT).

SOFTSWISS Rolls Out Red Carpet for F1 Film – and a Tech-Fueled Vision of iGaming
As F1: The Movie races into theatres worldwide, SOFTSWISS, a global tech company providing software for the iGaming industry, has chosen to support the film as a reflection of its commitment to innovation, performance, and teamwork. With former Formula 1 driver Rubens Barrichello serving as the company’s Non-Executive Director for Latin America, SOFTSWISS draws a meaningful parallel between the high-speed world of racing and the fast-moving, data-driven nature of online gaming.
SOFTSWISS joined the momentum by hosting exclusive premiere screenings for its partners and clients in São Paulo and Malta. Guests experienced the adrenaline of Formula 1 and Hollywood glamour, with red carpets, champagne towers, and photo zones setting the scene for a celebration that bridged entertainment and technology.
The highlight of the event was a personal video greeting from Rubens Barrichello, former Formula 1 driver and Non-Executive Director for Latin America at SOFTSWISS, who shared his emotional response to the film and reflected on how closely it mirrors both his racing legacy and his current work in tech.
Ahead of the event, SOFTSWISS released a “react video” in which Barrichello watched and commented on the movie trailer. In the video, he draws a compelling parallel between Formula 1 and the iGaming industry, emphasising the role of precision, teamwork, and real-time decision-making in both worlds.
“In the world of iGaming, we also deal with large amounts of data, adjust solutions in real time, and rely on teamwork. Just as a driver trusts engineers and mechanics, we trust our developers and analysts. Both worlds share the same values, and I am happy to be part of each of them,” comments Rubens Barrichello.
Rubens Barrichello has been a SOFTSWISS partner since 2024, when he was appointed as Non-Executive Director for Latin America. Known for his analytical approach and data-driven mindset on the track, Barrichello now supports the company’s business growth across one of the world’s fastest-growing iGaming markets.
His presence bridges two industries deeply rooted in Latin American cultural passion – motorsport and digital entertainment.
By partnering with figures like Barrichello and aligning with major cultural moments like the F1 movie premiere, SOFTSWISS demonstrates its commitment to innovation, regional relevance, and storytelling that resonates with players and partners alike.
