One of the most renowned and respected professional esports championships will be broadcast live, right here, on Traxion. rFactor 2’s GT Pro Series will be shown exclusively live on via our YouTube channel and Facebook page, starting at 19:00 CET / 18:00 GMT / 13:00 EST / 10:00 PST on 8th March 2021.
The top rFactor 2 pros will be racing in GT3 class machinery for a share of a healthy €18,000/$21,700 prize pool. They will be putting it all on the line in Season 3 of the championship across six rounds.
The venue list is packed with incredible circuits, some of the best real-life locations on earth. Imola, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone GP, Nürburgring GP (no chicane), Sebring and Indianapolis Motor Speedway are all featured.
Erhan Jajovski was champion in Season 1 and 2 for Romain Grosjean’s R8G eSports team, the professional esports driver also currently leading the way in Formula E: Accelerate. Alongside R8G Esports, the series features top teams like Redline, Williams, Mahle, Triple A, Zansho and more.
The GT Pro Series witnesses the top sim racing talent from around the world duking it out in closely matched races. At the end of each season, some drivers may be relegated from the Pro Series, and some from the accompanying GT Challenge Series are promoted into the top league. It means that even those near the bottom of the Pro championship table have something to fight for.
Races take place every other Monday, with a practice session, Qualifying, a 15-minute Sprint Race and a 45-minute Main Race. The main race grid is determined by the finishing positions of the sprint race but the top-10 are reversed. There is one drop score week per season to be deleted for each competitor.
