Of the drivers who have qualified, there’s Stefano Bonsignore who also competed in the Super Trofeo Esports competition achieving a best race result of fourth this season and Veloce’s Isaac Gillissen who made the final of the Formula E Accelerate competition. GT World Challenge Esports America Sprint competitior Skyler Loverink and GT World Challenge Asia Sprint driver Chris Tsang are also ones to watch.
The winner will be determined following on-track races, with points award for finishing results, lap times and a hot lap session. Each judge will also have 10 points they can distrubte.
The grand final of the 2023 Ferrari Esports Series will be broadcast live on the Ferrari Esports Twitch channel and Ferrari’s main YouTube channel 14th October, 9 am BST / 10 am CEST.
