Fresh from putting gamers to the test for the first time in 2023, the MotoGP™ eSport Championship is back for the second time in as many weeks, as the Pro Draft’s second Online Challenge kicks off on Wednesday 5th July.
Back for a seventh successive year, the MotoGP™ eSport Championship will pit the fastest gamers on the planet together for the Global Series. But before then they must find a way to qualify through the Pro Draft, a series of time attacks in the form of Online Challenges.
The second of the three is set where the second part of the 2023 MotoGP™ season begins: the Silverstone Circuit. And gamers will be tasked to set the fastest time possible using Maverick Viñales Aprilia Racing RS-GP 23. To add extra spice to the challenge, the weather conditions are set to wet.
Almost all options are pre-set for the Online Challenge, and only the fastest lap will be recorded, no matter how many times the ‘Time Attack’ session is completed over the course of the Challenge period. Ideal trajectory and rewind will be unavailable during time-trials in the premier-class - meaning pure gaming skill is what’s required to beat the fastest in the world. The machine and rider are also pre-selected and designed specifically for each Challenge period.
When competing in each Online Challenge, gamers will be classified in one of two categories: those from Europe and those from the Rest of the World. The gamers setting the fastest times will be awarded points. The first Online Challenge will run for five days until Sunday 9th July.
