Another month, another qualification for the 2022 F1 Esports Series presented by Aramco! Just like in October, you have the whole calendar month to try out this custom scenario and test your mettle on F1 2021, to see if you can qualify for Challengers.
Anyone with a copy of the game is eligible, and signing up is but the work of a moment. Here’s what’s cooking this month.
We all remember Esteban Ocon’s fairy-tale win at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix, right? From the chaotic first corner to the chase between Ocon and Vettel, it will surely go down as one of the races of the season.
What if we told you that your mission… is to undo the dream? Yep, in this version of alternate F1 history, your job is to take Esteban Ocon’s incredible maiden win, and replace it with victory for another driver. Placed in Lewis Hamilton’s cockpit, you’ll need to hunt down the race leaders and win the race. You have nine laps, and a fresh set of medium tyres to help you on your way.
Scoring a podium will pass the scenario, but really your best bet is to take the victory – so make sure you get to the front by the chequered flag! As ever, your score will be scored on lap times, clean driving, use of assists, use of flashbacks, and race time.. Simply, maximise your points-scoring with the best performance you can, and you’ll stand the best chance of earning a spot in F1 Esports Series Challengers.
This is your second and final opportunity to reach Challengers for 2022. The cream of the crop from our October and November events will combine, and form our Challengers grid for next year. This 12-race championship will play out early next year, with the very best drivers becoming part of the talent pool available for selection by the 10 official F1 Esports teams in 2022.
Make sure you have your PSN, Xbox Live, or Steam account linked to make sure your effort is counted. Simply head to F1Esports.com, scroll down to the bottom of the homepage, and go from there.
Are you our next digital superstar? Prove it! Get practicing, get racing, and good luck!
Qualification for the 2022 F1 Esports Series presented by Aramco is GO! The month of October heralds the arrival of our first qualification route into next year’s F1 Esports Series, and it couldn’t be easier to take part.
Anyone with a copy of F1 2021 is eligible, and signing up take but the click of a few buttons. Here’s how to get involved!
Carlos Sainz has had a very strong season with Ferrari so far, racking up a trio of podiums and leading a good chunk of the race in Russia. In Austria this year, he converted a middling P11 start into a superb P5 finish. But your job is to take him even further. With a handful of laps remaining, it’s your job to ascend through the field and finish as high up as you can.
If you’ve taken part in one of these scenarios before, you know the drill by now. But if not, the premise is simple. You’ll be scored on your lap times, clean driving, use of assists, use of flashbacks, and most crucially, your race time and finishing position. Simply, maximise your points-scoring with the best performance you can, and you’ll stand the best chance of earning a spot in F1 Esports Series Challengers.
Our core qualification route, that’s what! The very best entrants from this qualification event will be put forward into our cohort of Challengers for 2022. Combined with qualifiers from the second qualification event (coming November), we’ll embark on a 12-race championship in early 2022 to decide who the 10 official F1 Esports teams can pick from later in the year.
Crucially, make sure you have your PSN, Xbox Live, or Steam account linked to make sure your effort is counted. Simply head to F1Esports.com, scroll down to the bottom, and click the link that looks like this.
So get out there, and get racing! And who knows, maybe we’ll be crowning you as our next F1 Esports champion in years to come…
There’s no summer break for us! If you missed the first qualifying event for the 2020 F1 Esports Series and want to cement your place in the [[Challenger Series]], our second event is now live. The track awaits you…
We’re putting you behind the wheel of Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari SF70H in the final laps of the Hungarian Grand Prix and asking you to push hard against tyre degradation, track limits and your own team mate.
It’s not how the race played out – but you’ve got a chance to take Vettel to the second step of the podium, passing Bottas and Leclerc ahead in just five laps of the Hungaroring to officially qualify.
The track is dry, the sky is clear but you’re on older tyres than the cars ahead and time is running out. Can you chase the podium, or even the win?
You’ve got until 23:59 (BST) on Sunday 18th August to take to the podium!
This is the second of five F1 Esports 2020 qualifying events – take part in as many as you can to maximise your chances, and you could even bag yourself a trip to the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in 2020!
The top qualifiers from this and our Germany event will make it through to the Challenger Series where you will have the chance to prove their skill over a series of online league races, with the top drivers making it into the F1 Esports 2020 Pro Draft.
Enter all five qualifying events and you’ll earn in-game unlockables in F1 2019 – customise your driver with gloves, helmets and liveries to stand out in multiplayer. Register here to be part of it.
See you at the chequered flag!
