The Rally Argentina should have taken place this week. But as a small compensation, there is an “WRC 8” E-Sport tournament with real rally drivers.
In cooperation with WRC Promoter, Nacon and KT Racing announced today that a new virtual competition will take place from April 21 to 23, 2020 at “WRC 8”. In the event, 11 potential WRC talents compete virtually from home. Due to the current situation of Covid 19, the Rally of Argentina, which would take place this week, has been postponed. That is why 11 drivers competing in the WRC 2, WRC 3 and FIA Junior WRC support series will drive different special stages of online rally.
He says: “This new Esports event has an impressive roster of drivers: leaders like Pierre-Louis Loubet (WRC 2 2019 champions) and three current season WRC 2 drivers, Adrien Fourmaux, Ole Christian Veiby and Rhys Yates, are Other talented riders were also invited to participate in this event, including WRC 3 lead driver Marco Bulacia, young pro Oliver Solberg and junior WRC participant Raul Badiu. “
And here’s how it works: “After a qualifying round, the top eight drivers will compete against each other in the quarterfinals. All four races will be streamed live on the WRC’s official Facebook page on April 21 at 9 pm The semifinals will take place on April 22 at 9 pm And the grand finale will finally take place on April 23 at 9 pm “
Oliver Ciesla, Managing Director of the WRC Promoter: “Our drivers miss real racing as much as we do. But we are confident that the competitive spirit and adrenaline in WRC 8 will be as strong as on the actual track of Rally Argentina.”
