    In rFactor 2 Erhan Jajovski and ROKiT Venturi Racing once again reign supreme over the rest of the grid with a faultless win around the virtual Hong Kong harbourfront circuit.

    Frederik Rasmussen and DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT clinch their first podium and fastest lap of Round 2 of Formula E: Accelerate, getting to within an agonisingly close three-tenths of a second of the lead on the final lap.

    ABB Formula E Race at Home Challenge winner Kevin Siggy (BMW i Andretti Motorsport) continues consistent form with his second successive podium finish of the competition, gaining a position during his first stint using Attack Mode.

    Fast Facts

    Quintessential qualifying; Yet again pole position was decided by the closest of margins, with the top three on the grid separated by only 0.050s.

    Leading the pack; After two races, Erhan Jajovski (ROKiT Venturi Racing), leads the driver standings by 25 points – the same amount of points on offer for a race win – from closest rivals Kevin Siggy (BMW i Andretti Motorsport) and Frederik Rasmussen (DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT).

    Race against the clock; Last roundā€™s runner-up Manuel Biancolilla is disqualified from the race after crossing the finish line having not used the full amount of Attack Mode before the chequered flag.

    Formula E: Accelerate

    Esports competition showcases 24 rising stars competing over six events and being mentored by Formula E teams and drivers.

    Formula E racing translated into the virtual world as digital racers learn to master energy management and Attack Mode deployment for the first time.

    Prizes include a share of a minimum ā‚¬100,000 prize pool with the winner receiving the opportunity to drive a Formula E Gen2 car.

    Erhan Jajovski: “I managed to create a bit of a gap at the beginning and thought that would keep Rasmussen away but towards the end he was really aggressive on track. He mustā€™ve saved energy at the beginning and he was right behind me in the last few corners. Iā€™m really happy with P1!”

    Frederil Rasmussen: “Qualifying was good with P2. Into T1, I only wanted to secure my position and not gain any damage. Then I started saving energy and got the fastest lap. I tried to attack towards the end but I didnā€™t manage to overtake Erhan and had to settle with second.”

    Kevin Siggy: “I’ll take it. It’s not the win that I wanted but P3 is still a solid result and brings me points to move to second in the standings. Qualifying couldā€™ve been better if it werenā€™t for the final corner. Hong Kong is very challenging and everyone is super quick on this track and I’m struggling with it. Iā€™m happy with a podium finish in the end and will do my best to get a better result next time.”
