Esport – Esport, do you like it?

Before even going into details, we must distinguish two things. If you want to do Esports racing, it's not complicated. If you want to be a champion and make a living from it, it's not the same story! As explained in the article “Esport: how to progress quickly? ", it is entirely possible to play multiplayer just for fun. Here we are going to talk about real online competitions where the goal is to be in front. For those who wish to participate in championships just to have fun but also to compete over time with other drivers, there are sites which organize all this very well. For example, RFRO (racingfr.net) is a great platform that organizes championships on virtually every game. Dirt Rally 2.0, Assetto Corsa Competizione, rFactor 2, iRacing, etc. You will also have the opportunity to chat with the members to, for example, ask for adjustments, advice, in short what you need to be ready on the big day. Of course, everyone is there to have fun, but you will very quickly see that the competition regains its rights. So be prepared to spend a lot of time in your seat and to clear time slots to take part in the races.

The GT Sport Nation Cup is starting, are you ready?

Directly from the game

Contrary to popular belief, you can play Esport directly from your game. Each game of course has its own specificities. We will take Gran Turismo Sport, the most played game currently, as an example. Whatever your level, it is possible to participate in the Nation Cup from March 25, which counts towards the FIA ​​Gran Turismo Championship. With a little luck and a lot of talent, you can be titled in November like Igor Fraga (champion in 2018 on GT Sport and now driver Red Bull Junior Team in FIA F3). Ranking is based on the number of points you earn during Esport races and, as luck would have it, the lower your license, the fewer points you earn. It will therefore be impossible to reach the finals since drivers with a stronger license than yours will earn many more points. Hence the importance of having a good license or a good rating before measuring yourself against the best players. iRacing applies the same system, but we advise you to read the Esport regulations for each game to fully understand the ranking mechanics.

In any case, remember that if you want to do virtual competitions, you will have to spend a lot of time behind the wheel to be able, with any car and on all tracks, to keep pace with the best …even if you are initially very talented.
