2020 EuroNASCAR Esports Series

Last updated

The 2020 EuroNASCAR Esports Series was the inaugural season of the EuroNASCAR Esports Series. The series was launched after the opening rounds of the 2020 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This esports racing championship used the iRacing platform with drivers racing NASCAR Cup Series machinery. [1]

Format

The series used a heat racing system. After a 2-lap qualifying session, two 10-minute Heat Races would each send the top 15 drivers to the Main Event. Those left out from the Heat Races would have one last opportunity to find their way to the final through the 10-min Last Chance Qualifier, which would award six transfer positions. The Main Event Race would be 30 minutes long and award ENES championship points using the NWES points system. [2]
