The Le Mans Esports Series 2020 Super Final
Before the world's best racing drivers meet on September 19 for the legendary Le Mans 2020 24-hour race, it is the turn of the e-racers. The grand finale of the 2020 Le Mans Esports Series season will take place between September 15 and September 18 - although this year it is only online.
The Le Mans Esports Series Super Final follows the great success of the 24h Le Mans Virtual in June, which was won by the Rebellion Williams Esports and Porsche teams. The final will be played out in the Forza Motorsport 7 racing simulation on Xbox One. For four nights, the best sim racing pros will battle it out for the crown in virtual endurance racing over four hours each.
