The first-ever round of the new sim racing competition, the V10 R-League – a collaboration between Gfinity and Abu Dhabi Motorsports Management (ADMM) – was dominated by Williams Esports and Porsche24 Redline as the professional racers took on the iconic Monza track, in an exclusively designed V10 car featuring in the leading sim racing game Assetto Corsa.
Going head-to head in three race challenges, across four ‘matches’, were Red Bull Racing Esports
versus Team Fordzilla, Williams Esports against BWT Racing Point Esports, YAS HEAT paired up to battle with JAESA Team Suzuki, and BMW Motorsport SIM Racing Team competing with Porsche24 Redline.
Williams Esports and Porsche24 Redline won all three of the race challenges against their rivals,
placing them at the top of the V10 R-League standings.
All of the racing from Round 1 is free to view on btsport.com and via the BT Sport App from today (Tuesday 8 September).
Highlights of the second round of the V10 R-League, Brands Hatch, will be broadcast on Monday 14 September at 7pm (UK time) on BT Sport 2, with it all free to view again on btsport.com and via the BT Sport App the following day.
