WATCH: Le Mans Virtual Series Qualifying, Race 3, Spa, LIVE

It’s nearly time for the third round of the 2022-23 Le Mans Virtual Series. The championship that mixed motorsport FIA-graded pro drivers with some of the best professional esports drivers around will see Max Verstappen and Romain Grosjean compete around Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

You can watch qualifying live on the Traxion.GG YouTube Channel a day ahead of the 6 Hours of Spa.

40 cars, 24 in LMP and 16 in GTE, have entered each championship round. One driver per car will be nominated to qualify. Who that is, remains to be seen until they take to the track later today, 4th November 2022.

Alongside the Verstappen and Grosjean headline names, also entered for this round are Autosport Esports Driver of the Year nominee James Baldwin, former Blancpain Endurance Series champion and Bathurst 1000 competitor Alex Buncombe, 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual 2020 winner Jakub Brzezinski and three-time ADAC GT Masters Esports champion Moritz Löhner.

Both the LMP2 grid and the GTE grid will get a chance to do their own separate qualifying session on Friday. Each class will get 20 minutes to put down its best time to set their place on the grid on Saturday.

The stream starts with the Le Mans Virtual Cup support category race event, also at Spa, preceding the qualifying sessions. You can watch all the action live on Traxion.GG.
