After a brief summer break, the MotoGP™ eSport Championship bursts back into life this week, with gamers from all over the world taking part in the third Online Challenge of the Pro Draft, which starts at 11am CET on Wednesday 13th August.
Back for a ninth successive year, the MotoGP™ eSport Championship will be decided by eleven of the world’s fastest gamers competing in the Global Series. But before then they must progress through the Pro Draft, a series of four time-attacks in the form of Online Challenges.
The third Online Challenge of 2025 mirrors the action that will take place on track this weekend: the spectacular Austrian Grand Prix!
Gamers will take Brad Binder’s Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16 around the iconic Red Bull Ring at the fastest speed possible in a challenge with a twist – weather conditions will be wet!
This will be a time-attack challenge, meaning only the fastest lap will be recorded. Unlimited attempts are allowed. Gamers will have five days to set their personal best times as the first Online Challenge closes at 7pm on Sunday 17th August.
Points will be awarded for setting the fastest times in each Online Challenge. Like the points scoring system in the MotoGP™ World Championship, the fastest gamer will gain 25 points, the second 20 points, the third 16 and so on.
The goal is to catch the eye of a current MotoGP™ team during the Pro Draft with your speed, consistency and race craft to secure a place with one of them in the Global Series!
