SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS TO SETTLE PRO TEAM QUALIFYING BATTLE
The Porsche 911 RSR GTE has been chosen for the fifth and final round of Le Mans Esports Series qualifying for Pro Teams on Saturday 25 April. As usual, two races will be on the bill – a sprint followed by an endurance race. The prize is a big one as this concluding round on the Spa-Francorchamps racetrack will determine which six teams will be invited to contest the Super Final in Le Mans.
Red Bull Racing Esports (186 points) currently top the standings from Lazarus Racing (176 points) and Total Performance Racing (162 points). Fast Racers Forza (122 points) are firmly anchored in fourth place. However, three teams are still in with a great shout for the two remaining spots. Going into the final round, RYZE Motorsport (74 points) have a slight edge on Virtual Drivers by TX3 (70 points) and Solar Vision Racing (68 points). All three teams are sure to go all-out to make the Super Final!
The Spa-Francorchamps circuit is traditionally the venue of the final race before Le Mans. While it gives teams an opportunity to hone their preparations for the French 24-hour marathon, it does pose a special challenge on a circuit with a character all of its own. Taking it too lightly can prove a costly mistake!
You can watch the race involving some of the best Esport racers in the business live on the Le Mans Esports Series Facebook page, on the 24 Heures du Mans Facebook page and on Youtube 24 Heures du Mans.
