Belgian footballer Thibaut Courtois’ esports team were led to victory by David Sobreiro, who won all three races he competed in.
The most innovative event in sim racing, the VCO Esports Racing League came to a conclusion for its 2026 season this weekend, with yet another all-new format. Using the young simulator The Last Garage, the last round was held at a fictional Californian circuit which had four lanes, akin to a Scalextric track or an expanded Race of Champions.
Each of the four final teams, TC Esports, Team Vitality, Visceral Esports and Williams Sim Racing fielded one driver in each race, which was four laps, equalling roughly the same distance for each competitor.
They would be chasing Finalist Mode, used first in ESL and Rennsport R1, at which point the team’s next win would clinch them the title.
The day started with one of the pitfalls that would become familiar, Dominik Blajer making a small mistake that meant he’d finish fourth, and Marcell Csincsik’s clean and fast race gave Vitality the first win. TC Esports would win the next two races, though, with Coque Lopez and David Sobreiro taking control of the event.
