The second round of the GT World Challenge Asia Esports Championship will take place later today. Asia Pacific won’t see the GT3 sports car championship in real-life until 2021, but we are getting some sim racing in Assetto Corsa Competizione instead.
The field of 89 cars, featuring both real-life pro drivers and sim racers, will be racing in Laguna Seca next. Just like round 1, there will be two sixty-minute races, split between the Real-PRO & AM and Sim-PRO & AM classes.
You can check out the full entry list for the real drivers and sim racers on the links.
