The Third Round of the 2021 MotoGP™ eSport Global Series comes from the seaside setting of Misano on Italy’s sunny Riviera, where the 11 fastest gamers in the world will take on the tight, twisty layout as they bid to become the 2121 MotoGP™ eSport Champion!
Race one is held on Australia’s glorious Phillip Island circuit, a well-known rider’s favourite where the world’s fastest 11 gamers have to conquer some of the most ferociously fast corners in world motorsport.
Phillip Island, the self-styled home of Australian motorsport, is steeped in motor racing tradition, with the first car races having been held there on public roads in the 1920s. The first motorcycle races took place in 1931 and a permanent track was built in 1956.
The circuit fell into disrepair during the late 70s and early 80s until it was bought in 1985 and given a AUS $5m facelift. MotoGP returned in 1989 and 1990 before becoming a regular fixture once more from 1997 onwards.
The Phillip Island circuit is blessed with breathtaking scenery and beautiful ocean views and, as one of the fastest, most fluid, tracks on the calendar, it continues to provide some of the most spectacular racing in the MotoGP season.
