Recently a new Esport racing league with a bit of a difference was brought to my attention - and frankly it's that cool, I thought it worth telling you all about.
Not my usual type of article I must admit, however when this interesting new series was brought to my attention by our friends at Race Sim Studio (RSS), and upon further investigation, I thought it well worth a little time to share with the wider sim racing community.
Developed very much as an alternative to traditional esport activities, the new series is innovative in many ways, not least of which is the introduction of a specially developed high performance open wheel formula car - created with input from Gordon Coppuck no less, the man responsible for the now legendary McLaren M23 that powered Emerson Fittipaldi to Formula One World Championship success in 1974.
Quick Series Facts
Head-to-head. Each team will race one another in three short head-to-head races, with the team that takes two wins being declared the victor.
Relay Race. Each driver heads out on track, one at a time, swapping in the pits with a teammate. The fastest team across all three drivers scores the point.
Sprint Race. All six drivers take to the track, with team scores for the round awarded based on positions. The highest score gets the point - but, unlike other rounds, this one can result in a draw,
Wanting to know more about the car and how it came about? This makes for some interesting viewing indeed:
All sounds pretty unique and interesting, and a great achievement for the RSS team to get this new and exciting car involved in such a high profile adventure.
