The NGK SPARK PLUGS Esports Cup will return in early 2023, following its debut last season, and two rounds will be live on the Traxion.GG YouTube channel.
The sim racing competition will once again be open to anyone with RaceRoom Racing Experience, and this time, three GT3 cars can be used: Mercedes AMG GT3, Audi R8 or Porsche 911 GT3.
There will be five rounds. For the first four, the grid will be set by time trials within RaceRoom, the fifth and final grid is set based on results in the preliminary rounds.
All races will be live on the NGK SPARK PLUG and RaceRoom YouTube channels, but the opener will also be on Traxion.GG. Then, the final will include a live studio, driver interviews and will also be on Traxion.GG.
The top prize is two VIP tickets and accommodation to the ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring, with Fanatec equipment and JBL headsets also up for grabs.
Last season, Attila Diner won the inaugural title, which then helped him on the path to becoming part of the Dörr Esports squad to compete in the DTM Esports championship.
The first four races will see the top 32 drivers from open-qualifying compete in a 10-minute qualifying session, followed by two 20-minute sprint races – the latter reversing the top 10 results of the former to set the grid.
