Munich. Things are getting very tense in the ADAC GT Masters eSports Championship powered by EnBW mobility+: The penultimate event of the 2022 season gets underway at the virtual Silverstone circuit from 19:15 on Tuesday, 12th April. Last time out, in Zandvoort, Dörr eSports driver Bence Bánki (Dörr eSports) moved to the top of the table, where he holds a slender four-point lead over Christopher Högfeldt. The live event in the championship, which boasts a prize purse of € 70,000, is being streamed live from 19:15 at youtube.com/adac, adac.de/motorsport and on the ADAC GT Masters Facebook page.

After the season-opener at Brands Hatch, the competitors now line up at this season’s second British circuit. They will first contest a 10-minute qualifying session on the 5.901-kilometre track to determine the grid positions for the subsequent 15-minute sprint. This is followed by a ten-minute qualifying session. All the competitors must complete a mandatory pit stop in the 30-minute main race.

Bence Bánki (Dörr Esports) moved to the top of the overall standings courtesy of his fine results in Zandvoort. Lurking just four points behind him, and looking to bounce back, is Christopher Högfeldt (Virtualdrivers by TX3). The Swede had won all the first four races of this season’s ADAC GT Masters eSports Championship, but was unable to back up that blistering start in the races at the Nürburgring and in Zandvoort. Jack Keithley (Williams eSports) lies third overall, 27 points behind Bánki and still with a chance of clinching the title.

As well as the 28 regular drivers, each event also features four guest starters, who have qualified in advance via the “Community Monday Race” on RaceRoom.

Presenter Thomas Bienert is live in the studio to guide spectators through the event. Joining him as an expert is T3 Motorsport driver Maximilian Paul. This link will take you straight to the stream: https://youtu.be/0cz5gnBHcNk.
