Following a successful competition last year, The Real Race returns for 2021 with the chance to win a Lamborghini Headquarters experience and to become the first-ever Lamborghini Official Sim Driver.
Utilising the ever-popular simulation, Assetto Corsa Competizione, the championship will run across 10 events, with open qualifiers before each round running Monday to Friday. From there, the 40 quickest players progress into a series of closed qualification events on Saturday. Once the top 40 has been whittled down to just 20, that’s the grid for Sunday’s racing.
This year, there will be a mixture of ‘Grand Prix’ length races, plus three ‘Endurance’ events – no doubt making the most of Assetto Corsa Competizione’s extensive fuel, tyre and pit stop strategy options. The championship also utilises a regional ranking system this year, with three tournaments across Europe, America and Asia.
The Real Race 2020 was won by Germany’s Nils Naujoks, ahead of Matthias Egger and Jordan Sherratt, after a thrilling final round held at Mount Panorama, Bathurst.
The series will once again utilise the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO with new race liveries – 12 variants in total – styled by Lamborghini’s Centro Stile, its in-house design department, and highlighting event partner Kaspersky.
