Le Mans Esports: gamers ready for Sebring!

The FIA World Endurance Championship resumes next week with the 1000 Miles of Sebring on 15 March. Meanwhile, 30 Le Mans Esports Series virtual championship gamers from around the globe will take part in the Florida round this coming weekend, a decisive race ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.

Three invitations for the grand finale at the 24 Hours of Le Mans are up for grabs this weekend for gamers in Forza Motorsport 7.

After the qualifying rounds at Silverstone, Fuji, Shanghai and Birmingham - which culminated in four driver line-ups - this is the North American round.  Like the inaugural race of the Le Mans Esports Series at Silverstone, the gamers will hit the same track as the drivers for the 1000 Miles of Sebring, causing both real-world and virtual competitors to face the demanding Florida circuit.

The gamers already familiarized themselves with the track when they worked to clock the fastest times and secure their starting spots for this weekend. Thousands of competitors chose a 2014 Audi R18 for the qualifying phase, with more than 3,000 trying their chances in Forza Motorsport 7 back in February.

The incomparable track is truly demanding, a challenge these gamers are ready to take on!

Follow all three races this weekend on the Le Mans Esports Series Twitch channel. After this round gamers can still qualify for the 24 Hours of Le Mans grand finale at the Spa-Francorchamps qualifying round (register for free) at lemansesports.com
