Online racers will have the chance to test their skills against professional #fiaworldrallycrosschampionship race drivers with the creation of the first-ever RX Esports series.
IMG, the promoters of the #fiaworldrallycrosschampionship presented by Monster Energy, has partnered with Motorsport Games, the #racing game developer and Esports specialist, and Codemasters to launch the RX Esports Invitational.
The one-off Esports series will be held on the dates of selected rounds of the 2020 #fiaworldrallycrosschampionship presented by Monster Energy that have been postponed due to health concerns and government regulations relating to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic.
The first event to be held will be the Barcelona RX Esports Invitational, on Sunday, April 19 using DiRT #rally 2.0 on PC via Steam.
A number of the official World RX drivers will be competing and fans from around the world will have the opportunity to earn a place on the grid against them when the Qualifying event goes live this Saturday, March 28.
The World RX line-up, along with a few guest entries from other motorsport categories, will be revealed in the coming days.
The top non-professional drivers who complete the six-lap race around the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in the fastest time will be invited to take part in the live-streamed showcase.
Paul Bellamy, Senior Vice President of Motorsports Events at IMG, the promoter of the #fiaworldrallycrosschampionship, said: "We hope that by offering fans around the world the chance to engage with World RX via an alternative Esports series, we are providing a small level of enjoyment in these difficult times."
In order to enter, PC Steam players should go to the 'My Teams' section of DiRT #rally 2.0 on Saturday, March 28 March from 10am (GMT) and select the specially-marked promotional RX Esports tile from the Events screen.
