The Le Mans Virtual Series reaches the business end of the season now, with the penultimate round from Sebring International Raceway. Using rFactor 2, the endurance championship has brought some of the biggest and best names in the world of sim racing and real motorsport together to duke it out over five intense races.
So far this season we’ve enjoyed trips to historic racing venues such as Monza, Spa-Francorchamps and the revered Nordschleife, and now it’s time for a slightly different challenge; 500 miles of gruelling action on the bumpy Floridian airfield course.
The #22 GPX Rebellion Williams of David Pittard, Jiri Toman and Marcell Csincsik set the quickest lap in the 40-minute qualifying session but had its fastest lap time deleted due to a track limit infraction. This means the #8 R8G Esports entry of Gordon Mutch, Isaac Price and Erhan Jajovski will lead away the 500 Miles of Sebring field ahead of the #22, which still set a clean lap good enough for second.
The championship-leading #123 Team Redline entry will start fourth. In GTE, the #71 Team BMW Team Redline entry of Rudy van Buren, Kevin Siggy and Enzo Bonito will start from pole position, just one-tenth of a second ahead of the two Porsche Esports Team entries – the #92 ahead of the #91.
