LONDON: Formula E launched an esports 'Race at Home Challenge' series on Wednesday involving regular race drivers and gamers in the absence of any real track action due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Participants will compete on rFactor 2 simulator software from their own homes and in a 'battle royale' format where the last placed driver after each lap is eliminated until only 10 remain for a final sprint to the line. One of those aiming to win that prize is British racer Charlie Martin, who also hopes to become the first transgender driver to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.The challenge will be run over nine consecutive weekends, starting with a non-scoring test event on April 18 involving at least 14 current drivers.
