Once again using the rFactor 2 platform, Formula E: Accelerate’s top prize will be to drive a real-world Formula E race car, VIP tickets to the Seoul E-Prix in August and a share of a $108,000 prize pool. Entry for the esports championship begins with a “Road to the London Final” qualification series, taking place online and in person. There will be six times where qualifying can take place, either at home via rFactor 2, or in-person during real-world Formula E events at set Formula E gaming arenas.
From there, the nine quickest entrants from across the qualifying series will be invited to join the final at the 2022 London E-Prix in July. Registrations are open at present. Once the London E-Prix final has concluded, it’s the top-three contestants that win the cash prize allocation, a trip to Korea and the Formula E driving experience at pre-season testing in Valencia.
“Following the success of the first Formula E: Accelerate competition last year, we are excited to welcome entries for the 2022 series from Formula E fans and sim racing’s very best competitors,” said Kieren Holmes-Darby, Gaming Director at Formula E. “Gaming and esports are engaging Formula E with new fans globally, bringing elite motorsport together with the sim-racing world and the promise of a real-world drive for the most talented gamers.”
