Nacon and KT Racing announced the schedule for the Esports WRC Championship series, presenting a 13-stop calendar that started in Monte-Carlo with their initial event and will have 1-2 stops every month until the World Finals sometime this coming Fall. Along the way, competitors will go head-to-head at five new stops on the 2022 calendar: Spain, Belgium, Croatia, Estonia, and Greece, along with the previous tour stops from 2021. The format of the races will remain the same as in 2021, with the top eight drivers from the regular season automatically earning a spot in the World Finals.
“We are very proud to organize for the 6th consecutive year the eSports WRC Championship, with WRC 10 this year,” says Alain Jarniou, Game Director of KT Racing. “Our teams are committed to offering a total immersion to the players, they have worked a lot on the ultra-realistic physics in WRC 10 in order to offer new driving sensations as close as possible to the feeling of real drivers, which is essential in a sim racing competition.”
The top 10 results of each player will be taken into account for qualification to the Finals as part of the path to getting there. And as an added bonus, three-time WRC winner and 2021 champion Lohan “Nexl” Blanc will be competing in the 2022 season alongside his Race Clutch teammate, essentially putting his title on the line against a new swarm of competitors.
