Drago’s success prevented Coanda from gaining a record-extending seven wins at the race, and stopped Team Redline from breaking their winless streak at Daytona. 

The Final, which took place at Sim Formula Europe in the Netherlands, was contested with plenty of the usual drama and stewards controversy. 

While the term ‘esports’ seems to have been banished, competitive sim racing still delivered several discussion-worthy moments in 2025.

RAFA ERA Esports, Virtus.pro, Williams Sim Racing and Team Nitro will take part in the LAN Finals at Sim Formula Europe in January. 

Two titans of sim racing collected the GTP and GTD IMSA Esports Global Championship titles for 2025.

The GTP and GTD classes were split for Round 3, with the former at Long Beach and the latter at Virginia International Raceway.

The second round of the 2025 IMSA Esports Global Championship was dominated by Coanda Esports, with the team securing both GTP and GTD honours.

As the 2025 Esports Racing League nears its conclusion, Coanda snared a second win, but it was RAFA that looked closer to reaching the in-person finale.

Team Redline dominated the second half of the race in GTP after the Australian’s collision in The Esses, while Redline’s long-time rivals Coanda Esports breezed past the GTD field with a one-two of their own.
