Dutch content creator and Alpine Sim Racing Ambassador THOMB has partnered with Grid Finder to revive the popular community racing series, originally launched in 2020 to fill the gap left by Formula 1’s suspension during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The F1 E-Grand Prix Championship, held on EA Sports’ newly launched F1 25, begins with pre-qualifying sessions conducted throughout the season, which help determine the skill level of each driver. During the races, the slower drivers in pre-qualifying are assigned to faster cars, and vice versa, thanks to F1 25’s realistic performance feature.
Drivers can anticipate a calendar faithful to the 2025 Formula 1 season, with six races mirroring the timing of real-world F1 races. The calendar features the following:
F1 E-Grand Prix Championship calendar
- Round 1 Canadian GP – 13th June (F1)*
- Round 2 Australian GP – 20th June
- Round 3 Austrian Reverse GP – 27th June (F1)
- Round 4 British Reverse GP – 4th July (F1)
- Round 5 Japanese GP – 11th July
- Round 6 Azerbaijani GP – 18th July
- Round 7 Belgian GP – 25th July (F1)
- Round 8 Hungarian GP – 1st August (F1)
- Round 9 Miami GP – 8th August
- Round 10 Monza GP – 15th August
- Round 11 Chinese GP – 22nd August
- Round 12 Dutch Reverse GP – 29th August (F1)
