The qualifications are over, the races were fraught, and now this Sunday the PRO and AM Championship for the Ferrari Hublot Esport Series is about to begin.
That's right folks - we've had the online qualification hotlap sessions, we've raced at four different locations in the knockout races to see which AM drivers make it to the finals - and now it is time to get the wheels in motion and start up the series proper - the Ferrari Hublot Esport Series PRO and AM Championships begin on Sunday afternoon - racing for the chance to win a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent Ferrari as part of the FDA Esport team.
Ferrari Hublot Esport Series | Watch Live from 18:00 UTC: Click HERE.
What makes this different is the category has moved up to championship status - no longer is the fight for honours a case of one off racing - now we've hit the important part - championship time with points on offer, PRO and AM drivers fighting in their own series and that exclusive goal and end reward so close they can almost touch it.
So... who is taking part in the series on Sunday afternoon? From the PRO driver pool we've got an incredible collection of talent taking to the circuit. YouTubers the likes of Chris Haye, real world drivers like Romain Monte and David Perel and professional sim racers such as Josh Martin will all be taking to the track in anger come green flag... should be a pretty sweet fight once these beautiful Ferrari 488 Challenge EVO cars put the pedal to the metal.
For our AM classification, the drivers have had to go through an incredibly challenging process of elimination. First, for each of the four knockout races to date the drivers have had to put in a top 24 hot lap time on the pre race leaderboard, then take part in a 30-minute qualification knockout sprint race, where only the top six are able to progress through to the series proper.
Now that work is complete, the real challenge begins.
The first championship round for both the PRO and AM series is set to take place at the temple of speed that is Monza, on Sunday 4th October from 18:00 UTC, live and exclusive on the Ferrari YouTube channel presented by Nicki Shields and myself. Tune in and enjoy some great racing!
