Esports organisations G2 Esports, Guild Esports and Outlaws Entertainment will field teams in the Prodigy Racing League, an ‘e2Real’ racing series.
The three teams are joined by pickle brand SuckerPunch, TC Racing (a team led by Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois) and Williams Racing, with each team fielding a total of four drivers to compete.
Created by sports, entertainment and media company Racing Prodigy, the Prodigy Racing League is an ‘e2Real’ series that supports sim-racers who are looking to achieve a career in real-world racing.
Last weekend at Williams Racing Fan Zone in Piccadilly Circus, London, a draft took place to select a total of 24 drivers. The pool of 32 candidates – aged 15 to 45 – qualified for the draft by racing in one of PRL’s esports events and competing at Prodigy Week, Racing Prodigy’s real-world racing tryouts.
The selected individuals received contracts from the company to compete in the Prodigy Three (P3) Championship. Those who haven’t been selected will have a second chance through fan voting to become reserve drivers.
It was also revealed that the first race will be held on October 22th-23rd at the Atlanta Motorsports Park, with the following races still yet to be confirmed.
Luke Jones, VP of Esports at Guild Esports, commented: “We’re thrilled to join the Prodigy Racing League and compete in this groundbreaking series. At Guild Esports, we’re dedicated to nurturing the next generation of male and female sim racing talent, and this platform gives us the chance to highlight their abilities on an international level.
“Our team is ready to showcase their skills and explore the potential of transitioning from virtual to real racing. We look forward to an exciting season full of fierce competition and remarkable performances.”
