After a dominant performance by James Baldwin at Paul Ricard, the 2022 Alpine Esports Series heads to Germany this Thursday. In this last double header of the series though, nothing is decided yet. The live stream starts at 8.30 pm CEST on June 22nd.
Standings & Scoring
Leading the championship by 24 points over their next rival, Baldwin (64 points) may not yet rest on his laurels. Fellow countrymen Luke Whitehead (40 pts) and George Boothby (39 pts), as well as Marko Pejic (37 pts), are still in contention for an upset.Like in the last 2 rounds, the 25-minute feature race will be prefaced by a 15-minute sprint race. The latter gives points to the top 8 while the winner will be able to snatch 10 points. In the longer race, the top 10 will receive points while the winner can gain 25.
Meaning if Baldwin manages to win the Sprint race, the championship will be decided.
Next Stop: Nürburgring
Starting the lap on the start-finish straight, you brake hard for T1 and instantly get into the technical section of the track: the Mercedes-Arena. Exiting onto the short RTL straight, you get ready for a left-right S. Exiting the right-hander off the Ford-Kurve a short and bent straight awaits before the hairpin. A late apex gets you up to speed for the almost-flat-out Michael-Schumacher-S. Two 90° corners lead you up to the back straight with a kink, the ADVAN-Bogen. Hard braking into the fast NGK-Schikane leads you to the last hairpin T15 and back onto the start-finish straight.What Action Awaits Us?
