Teams will also compete for a significant prize pool, with €25 up for grabs at each event and a total of €000 on offer throughout the season.

The competition will take place on site at the Esports Arena. Two hours of testing will be available on Friday, while the bulk of the action takes place on Saturday.

Each race will feature a maximum of 24 competitors.

All five events will be broadcast live for free on social media. The season will begin at Monza on the weekend of April 17-18.
