Stan 10,263 Posted March 20, 2020 Nice! I'm guessing this is like the eSports run on FIFA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nudge 8,297 Posted March 20, 2020 Yep, using the F1 2019 game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy 4,879 Posted March 20, 2020 I'd be very surprised if Max and Lando aren't part of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nudge 8,297 Posted March 20, 2020 Ferrari entries are Robert Shwarzman and Dino Beganovic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nudge 8,297 Posted March 21, 2020 Haha this is going to fail as no actual drivers want to participate 😂 nobody likes the F1 official game apparently. So I'll just rename the thread to include all F1 E-Sports competitions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nudge 8,297 Posted March 21, 2020 The one organized by The Race has a great entry list. @Tommylook who's there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was his plan all along. No Lando though. Jimmy Broadbent was expected as well, so that's no surprise. Fun fact: Thibaut Courtois is a very decent sim racer. He was in that race with Max last week I believe, and got a very decent result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy 4,879 Posted March 22, 2020 Watching that Virtual Race thing. Lando's game crashed or something so he's out of Qualifying. And Johnny Herbert keeps crashing his car in Quali, haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy 4,879 Posted March 22, 2020 E-Sports is not really my thing too, and I often find it cringeworthy how they celebrate those e-sports "stars", but I'm watching this a bit on the side because of the big names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eco 2,116 Posted March 22, 2020 I can't get into e-sports, but this may actually be a ton of fun as it's actually elite drivers competing, whereas e-sports is usually fat slobs in their parents basements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eco 2,116 Posted March 22, 2020 Lando is such a twat. Just called George Russell to get advice on what to do when you start in the back of grid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
