The 29-year-old hinted that he could play and commentate in the tournament:
"I hope I can make it a good, balanced, and cool event. And I might play in it and cast it. I might do a kind of a dual production thing where, like, I'm trying to win as well. And if I'm out or not, I can cast the other games as well. So, yeah, I'm just kind of doing both."
xQc says he'll collaborate with Red Bull F1 driver Yuki Tsunoda for IRL livestream in Miami
During the same Twitch stream, xQc revealed that he would be collaborating with Red Bull F1 driver Yuki Tsunoda for his upcoming IRL broadcast in Miami. For those unaware, the sixth round of the 2025 Formula One season will take place in Miami, from May 2 to May 4, 2025.
Providing details for the upcoming IRL stream, Felix said:
"I'm not even sure if I was allowed to say it or whatever. The stream that I would do with the F1 driver officially would be with Yuki. I hope that's still happening. It would be a private lesson and we'd be able to stream for three hours, is what they told me. It would have F4, whatever that is. So, we'd be able to do both, like, actual lap and drive on the track. One lap each."
