Ferrari released the first round of a new Blindfold Challenge series on Thursday. Well, it’s not what you might think, unless you know at Traxion that we’re talking about sim racing and not a real car. The new video series falls under the Ferrari Esports Series banner as a promotional piece for the series.
What better way to kick off the series than with Formula 1 Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz in the hot seats. Charles was the first to go at it with Two-Time F1 Esports Series World Champion Brendon Leigh coaching him around the track on Assetto Corsa, the same sim used in the Ferrari Esports Series.
With Charles on the simulator and the new-for-2021 Ferrari Esports driver Brendon over his shoulder, the goal is to make a full trip around the Imola circuit as fast as possible without incident.
