Knowing what is at stake, with a prize pool of US$ 150.000, and the teams themselves being able to earn as large a share as they can manage, it seems odd to have only three cars take the start in one of the most popular classes in rFactor 2.

Right now the recording of the race is being rendered in hour-long bites and shipped to ESTV and uploaded to our growing fast-channel network. ESTV includes the race on their 35+ channels and VOD services and they report to us, that 24-hour races always net somewhere between 250.000 to 500.000 views on their network. The new fast-channel network of Xiaomi, Ayozat, FilmVolt on Amazon Fire and Roku, Carbon TV, Ebaba TV, FreeCast TV, Select TV, HeroGo TV, NBC Universal Local NOW, Meta X, OneHub, RAD, Segi, TCL and Vivalive, has caused our website traffic to spike so hard, that the website has been unavailable on several occasions in the last month.

#15 Deuces Motorsport Club decided to park their car in the garage, as their drivers prioritized a different race taking place at the same time. And although this race was only six hours, they did not come back to take the car to the checkered flag.

#21 SEM9 Axle was haunted by technical problems and at a point during the night, it became too much for the drivers, and they decided to wave the white flag. This left only one car on track in the class and the #94 Burst Esports Goddr Sunglasses car soldiered on and was at one point less than 30 seconds from the overall lead.

Points / Pole position bonus / Race completion bonus

#94 Burst Esports Goddr Sunglasses has a strong lead in the championship, but it is not set in stone just yet! Remember the double points. So they can’t just cruise the car across the finish line at Le Mans. If the #21 SEM9 Axle crew run away with the win and pole position, Burst Esport will need 34 points to tie the championship. That means they can not finish lower than second. If any of the other LMP2 cars win, Burst Esport can finish two places behind SEM9 Axle and still take the title.

About The Author

Peter Munkholm

When John Nielsen won Le Mans 24-Hours in 1990, Peter was hooked with motorsports. He started sim racing on his uncles PC with Formula One Grand Prix by Geoff Crammond in 1992. Then progressed through IndyCar Simulator and IndyCar Simulator 2 on his Amiga 500+. When he bought his own PC in 1994 and a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro Joystick he was already deeply in love with sim racing. His first skirmish with light modding was a Pernod Anis blue, white, and red skin for IndyCar Racing 2. He was hooked! But sim racing really kicked off for Peter with Sports Car GT in 1999. And with internet access and what felt like an ocean of mods. Sports Car GT and the F1 simulators with endurance racing mods swallowed most of his spare time. Then the GTR mod for F1 2003 arrived on the scene, from some Swedish dudes who called themselves SIMBIN. That would change everything! Right about then was also when Logitech steering wheels reach a state of useful. So when the GTR game officially released Peter bought a Formula Force GP wheel the same day, went home and founded the Danish Grand Touring League (DGTL). In 2006 the first LAN event was held. This became GTR24H in 2007. As they say. The rest is history!
