AK Esports and Dallara team up for new esports competition

Leading esports competition organiser AK Esports has partnered with Italian road and racecar manufacturer Dallara to create a multinational sim racing series with a real-world driving experience prize.

The Dallara Esports Championship 2025 begins with three qualification rounds between the 2nd June and 7th September, with players able to set their best lap times at three real-world sim locations:

● The Dallara Academy in Varano de’ Melegari, Italy,

● The Sim Garage by Dallara, in the Dallara

Experience Hub in Indianapolis Motor Speedway, USA

● The E-Motion Center in Paris, France

Drivers can look forward to driving both the Dallara Stradale and Dallara Stradale EXP in Assetto Corsa, with their position on the hot lap leaderboard decided by combining their fastest lap times in each car.

The offline part of the series will be held on the following dates using three different tracks:

• Round 1 Laguna Seca: June 2nd – June 30th
• Round 2 Spa-Francorchamps: July 1st – July 31st
• Round 3 Monza: August 1st – September 7th

Players who can’t make it to any of the in-person venues can still attempt to qualify online, with the fastest player from each round joining the best drivers from the on-site activations. 

Three qualifiers from Italy, six from the USA, six from France and three from the online portion of the competition will be joined by single wildcard entries from Saudi Arabia and the UAE at the Grand Final from the E-Motion Center on the 2nd October. 

The overall race winner will claim a real-life driving experience in a Dallara Stradale EXP at Circuit Paul Ricard.

Those wishing to register and compete online can visit the official championship website, which also contains a more detailed breakdown of its rules and regulations. On-site participants can register at one of the aforementioned locations, with payment at the venue’s discretion.
