The F1 Esports Pro Series presented by Aramco will return for its fourth season this autumn with a prize fund of USD 750,000 on offer, and with the action set to kick off at the Pro Draft Reveal show on the 27th of August.
This season’s F1 Esports Pro Series is set to be the biggest yet, with over 237,000 racers having attempted to qualify for the 2020 championship, up from 109,000 participants in 2019.
The 237,000 racers have now been whittled down to 45 qualifiers, with the 10 F1 Esports Pro Series teams – including reigning constructors’ champions Red Bull and Ferrari, who fielded 2019 drivers’ champion David Tonizza – having to pick one of those qualifiers each to include in their three-driver line-up.
The Pro Draft Reveal show will take place on the 27th of August, with the season then running from October to December, with a 12-round championship consisting of four events of three races each, and with a proper real-world-aping qualifying format now added.
