Second qualification round for the season finale at Wales Rally GB 2016
eSports WRC is the first international online FIA World Rally Championship competition. eSports WRC brings the best WRC 5 drivers together for a tournament that lasts from January to October, at the same time as the 2016 WRC season.
eSports WRC is available on Playstation®4, Xbox One and PC.
After a first qualifying weekend during the Rallye Monte-Carlo in January, best WRC 5 virtual drivers will now face the snow of Sweden in the second round of the eSports WRC Championship.
Rally Sweden celebrates the only true winter round of the WRC season characterised by frozen roads lined with snow banks. For this event, studded tyres are essential and provide remarkable grip but drivers must acclimatise to the ‘floating’ feeling.
eSports WRC’s second qualification round is on a stage called Lesjöfors made of icy roads (100%). It is a short but very challenging stage thanks to a succession of tight corners, hairpins and icy lines which promise an epic battle to reach the qualifying podium.
The weekend’s final will be broadcast live on Twitch (http://www.twitch.tv/esl_wrcthegame ) on Sunday 14th February, from 4.00pm (GMT+1). Join the excitement of eSports WRC and meet the community there!
Nine players qualified in Monte-Carlo for the first semi-final (Rally Italia Sardegna), with the best 3 drivers on each platform.
