The iRacing eNASCAR series will return in 2021, which comes to the surprise of absolutely no-one. But, we do now have a look at the schedule and confirmation of some serious prize money – $330,000 to be precise.
$330,000 is an astronomical amount of money and one of the highest prize pools in racing esports to date. Exceeded only by the original Formula E Vegas eRace and the F1 Esports Series. $100,000 of the total prize pool will be going to the overall champion – not bad at all for some “pretend race car” driving.
The iRacing eNASCAR series is in its 12th season, making it one of the longest-running officially sanctioned racing esports events. This season will consist of 18-races, which is 2 less than the previous year.
Last year’s champion was Nick Ottinger after dramatic final-lap victory.
Notably, there are co-ordinated breaks in the schedule to avoid the Pro Invitational Series events. These races, featuring “real world” superstars, were recently announced to be returning to the schedule in 2021 – you can read more about them here.
