The 2023 Tri-Nations Esports Cup has been launched for British, Kiwi and Australian iRacers, with Next Level Racing prizes up for grabs for regional and overall winners.
Run via a collaboration between the national motorsport governing bodies of the UK, New Zealand and Australia – Motorsport UK, Motorsport New Zealand and Motorsport Australia respectively – the main competition gets underway on the 6th of August from 08:00 am BST, featuring a live broadcast on the RACESTARSTV YouTube channel.
Interested drivers need to qualify via a 24-hour pre-event qualification time trial from 9 am on the 23rd of July using iRacing‘s Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo at Suzuka.
