After six races, the Dörr Esports driver, whose car of choice in the ADAC GT Masters eSports Championship powered by EnBW mobility+ is a virtual Porsche 911 GT3 R, leads the championship with 181 points, ahead of Poland’s Jakub Brzezinski (Williams Esports) with 157 points.

ADAC GT4 eSports Championship: Who can beat serial winner Cihan?

In the ADAC GT4 eSports Championship, the hunt is on for someone to end the winning run of Emre Cihan (Team Fordzilla). The Turkish sim racer has won all three races so far. Last time out in Zandvoort, the fastest five drivers once again qualified for round four of the GT4 Championship. As well as Cihan, Adam Pinczes (Arnage Competition), Alessandro Ottaviani (Virtualdrivers By TX3), Julian Kunze (EURONICS Gaming) and Axel Vermeylen (Virtualdrivers by TX3) also secured their starting places. The top three drivers in the ADAC GT4 eSports Championship can also look forward to a wildcard for the 2022 ADAC GT Masters eSports Championship powered by EnBW mobility+.
