Bentley Motorsport has stepped firmly into the world of esports by announcing entry into its debut sim racing championship - the SRO E-Sport GT Series - a six-round series held by the organisers of many of the manufacturer's real-world GT3 races.
The entry will see Bentley field squads in the 'Pro' class race for real-world racers and the 'Silver' class race for elite sim racers, and show support for all Continental GT3 drivers, including Bentley colleagues and fans around the world, in the 'Am' class events.
The six-round series mirrors events in the GT World Challenge Europe, the real world series in which Bentley Motorsport has competed since 2014, taking championship and race wins along the way.
While the 'Pro' and 'Silver' classes have restricted entry for professionals, all Assetto Corsa Competizione gamers are invited to enter the 'Am' class series. The final competitors will be decided by an open hot-lap qualifying that runs from 26 April 2020 to 10 May 2020, with the fastest 40 earning their spot on the grid. Pre-registration is open here, with further details and race formats for the inaugural SRO E-Sport Championship set to be revealed next week.
