The world’s most famous endurance race is moving online, with the 24 Hours of LeMans Virtual scheduled for June 13-14.
The 88th edition of the live race, originally scheduled for those dates, has been postponed to Sept. 19-20 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The virtual race was announced earlier this month by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, FIA World Endurance Championship and Motorsports Games.
Up to 50 four-man teams — consisting of professional drivers and esports racers — will compete using the rFactor2 simulation platform. There will be variable weather conditions and both daytime and nighttime racing. Driver changes are mandatory, with a minimum of four hours and a maximum of seven per driver.
The event will air across multiple platforms, featuring race commentators and pit reporters broadcasting live form a Paris television studio.
Charles Leclerc, Antonio Giovinazzi, Enzo Bonito and David Tonizza will form Ferrari’s line-up for the Virtual 24-hour LeMans race, the Italian side has confirmed earlier today.
