Le Mans Esports Series – $150,000 up for grabs at intense four-day final

The Covid-19 global pandemic has not only forced the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans behind closed doors, it has also moved the Le Mans Esports Series final online! Nonetheless, the four days of competition (15-18 September) promise to be just as intense as last year when the final was held at the Le Mans circuit.

All change for Season 2 of the Le Mans Esports Series! Initiated by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the FIA World Endurance Championship and Motorsport Games, the competition will reach its climax online and not at Le Mans as was the case last year. The Super Final will be played out in four sequences, with a staggering $150,000 purse to be split between the Pro and Pro-Am teams.  These four sequences are scheduled at 16:00 CET from 15 to 18 September ahead of the 88th 24 Hours of Le Mans. The format of each sequence will be two 60-minute sprints followed by a two-hour endurance race and each will be dedicated to a specific period in the history of the race:  pre-1970, the 70s and 80s, the 90s and 2000s, and finally post-2010 on 18 September.  With two teams eliminated at each stage in both the Pro and Pro-Am categories, the three top teams will do battle in the ultimate round on Friday 18 September. The races will cover a variety of circuits including the Bugatti, Le Mans before the introduction of the Mulsanne Straight chicanes, present-day Le Mans, Silverstone, COTA, Monza, Spa and Nürburgring. The Super Final will be streamed live on the Le Mans Esports Series Twitch and Facebook pages and on Motorsport.tv.
