The SRO has unveiled the entry list for the opening round of the new SIM Pro Series – which will hold its races inside the Fanatec Arena at the racetrack alongside five GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup rounds.
Competing at the same venue over the same weekend as the real-world series, the competition has a total prize pool of €75,000 for elite-level sim racing drivers and teams, and utilises the official game of the real-world championship: Assetto Corsa Competizione.
24 competitors will take part in each race, with 23 reserved for professional full-time racing esports outfits and one for the quickest public qualifier at each in-person race event.
The whole SIM Pro Series follows a one-off SRO Esports Racing Night at the 24 Hours of Spa last season, which the then Ferrari Esports driver Kamil Pawlowski was leading until an untimely disconnect.
He returns for the full LAN-utilising season with his new squad, ITB Sainteloc Racing.
Ferrari does return with a new-look squad. Racing driver and former Lamborghini: The Real Race EMEA winner Jordan Sherratt joins Chris Harteveld.
Speaking of Lamborghini, it too has a manufacturer-backed team, and it has entered Luca Losio alongside the winner of the aforementioned Racing Night event, David Tonizza.
