The revolutionary esports championship – that takes real-world SRO GT World Challenge Europe drivers and places them on Assetto Corsa Competizione for a race during real-world race weekends – is returning in 2022, and will continue to pay out Teams’ championship points.
Up to a maximum of five Teams’ points per race in both the Overall and Silver classes of the GT World Challenge Europe, five for the win down to one point for fifth, is on offer for the drivers who will compete on the Saturday evening of five race weekends within an on-site Fanatec Arena.
29 drivers are on the provisional entry list for the first round at Imola, including Nicki Thiim, Daniel Juncadella, Luca Ghiotto, Dries Vanthoor and Dennis Lind – but not all will race due to a revised qualification system.
Daniel Juncadella competes in Fanatec Esports GT Pro Series, 2021, Circuit Paul Ricard
A hot lap qualifying system will determine which 12 Pro and 12 Silver category drivers will make up the 24-car grid for each race.
Each race will last one hour. The confirmed rounds this will take place on so far are Imola, Paul Ricard, Spa and Barcelona, while the fifth track will be open to a fan vote.
To keep the competition on an even keel, each competitor will use an identical AK Informatica gaming PC plus Fanatec Rennsport Cockpit V2, Podium Wheel Base DD2, Podium Hub, Clubsport Pedal V3 and Podium Wheel Rim R300.
You can watch the first round on Saturday 2nd April on the SRO YouTube channel from 6.05 pm GMT / 7.05 pm CET.
