The F1 Pro Esports Championship visited COTA for round nine and boy was this a wild ride in the virtual lone star state.
The F1 Pro Esports Championship is all set up for a grand finale with 3 rounds left of the championship. The championship is as close as ever with 3 front runners leading the charge and being in contention for the title.
Round 9 took the drivers to COTA and boy did the party get wild. Jarno Opmeer proved he is a fighter that will not back down with an incredible drive and showed the sim racing world why he is the defending champion.
I have always said before, champions will always find a way, even if they are on the back foot, no matter what the circumstances they shall prevail. Opmeer was firing on all cylinders in the virtual lone star state.
At the start of the race, we see the drivers line up on the grid with Longuet Alpine on pole, Boroumand Mclaren Shadow in p2, and Opmeer Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Esports rounding ou the front row.
Notable mentions to Brandon Leigh FDA Ferrari team who had a blistering start and started to carve his way through the field. As always I like to leave those spoilers out of the way for those that wish to watch the replay provided below.
Note: Below is the replay, results and spoilers
