December is decidedly the right month to work the land; at least in the virtual dimension of Farming Simulator 22, the new edition of the agriculture game most loved by the gamers of Europe. This was in fact the period when the BKT Challenge took place, an original competition organised by BKT to celebrate the presence of its tyres in the game options.
The ingredients of the challenge? A field to cultivate, a mission to fulfil and selection of the undisputed champions: Killercroc88 from Italy, Arikson and MrAdamo from Poland, StarkPanzer and Makam from Hungary, En3rgie5 from France and Cornhub representing the German-speaking area (also called the DACH area).
An experiment that has put BKT tyres through their paces tries and that has been capable of transcending linguistic barriers, involving fans from all over Europe thanks to videos posted on YouTube by each gamer.
- In preparation, Killercrock88 focused on the tyres, with an accent on Agrimax Force, based on IF technology, which respects fields because it does not allow significant compacting of the ground and, consequently, guarantees greater respect for nature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBRw5FijRKA
- Cornhub has demonstrated perfect mixing skills, showing us his work speeded up with a pleasant musical background, alternating between tutorials and pure gameplay.

- From France we can take in the summary, thanks to the director’s cut of En3rgie5, who has proposed original overview shots of the field to be cultivated, also succeeding in summarising the entire challenge in a video little more than fifteen minutes long.

- With MrAdamo15 it has been the turn of precision, considering that, in the phase of preparation of the farm vehicle, he also found the time to personalise his plates, inserting the initials “BKT”.

- StarkPanzer was able to communicate passion and commitment to us, thanks to the fascination of nighttime gameplay (with vehicles intent on working with the aid of headlights) and a marathon video of over 1h50.

- For Arikson working on Farming Simulator has clearly been a profession with a high rate of beats per minute, with his video marked by electronics.

- Finally, Makam has known how to tell of the experience of agricultural work with a clip of great dynamism, with music, montage and a diversity of shots.

Out of all these, En3rgie5 was the winner, with a winning margin of just 8” compared to Arikson and 2’01” to the third-placed competitor: StarkPanzer.
With this activity and thanks to the talents taking part, the BKT mission continues: to revolutionise agriculture communicating it with freshness, a sense of fun and innovation.
