The first Online Challenge of the 2022 MotoGP™ eSport Championship in underway and happens to coincide with the first round of the new MotoGP™ season, as gaming hopefuls from around the world tackle the fast, technical Lusail International Circuit.
The layout’s fast, long bends and short, sharp braking areas not only makes it a challenge to ride, but always produces racing of the highest calibre.
A bike that is competitive when braking from well over 200mph on the terrifying run to turn one must also maintain agility for the rapid turns 12, 13 and 14. Finding that balance is crucial to set a lap time that will see you make your mark on the Pro Draft leaderboard.
And if you’re struggling to set a competitive time, take the advice of reigning MotoGP™ eSport Champion Trast73 as he talks you through the ideal set-up for this track using Fabio Quartararo’s Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™ M1. The three-time eSport Champ is well placed to dish out advice: he used this machine to brilliantly win last year’s Global Series and is a Yamaha man through and through.
So who better to listen to when it comes to suspension set-up, ride height and the ideal gearing for the Losail International Circuit’s varied 16 corners?
