OVERVIEW
This event started in 2022 with a battle between the great sporting nations of Australia and the UK, fighting out to see who is the greatest sim racing nation. In 2023 the event grew to three nations with New Zealand bringing the Kiwi spirit to the mix. 2024 saw the three nations battle out it out once again with Australia taking the honor of the best nation.
In 2025 the Tri-Nations Esports Cup is set to grow again to the Four-Nations Esports Cup with the Springboks (South Africa) joining the event and bringing the age-old sporting rivalry between the four nations to the track on iRacing. This is your chance to represent your country and help the UK win bragging rights and prizes!
The competition will run in two phases - a 48-hour pre-event qualification time attack from 18th AND 21st July and the main event itself. Utilising the iRacing platform and the McLaren 720S GT3 with a fixed setup to ensure a level playing field.
Each country will be represented by 10 drivers creating a grid of 40 for the main broadcast event on 3rd August. Consisting of x2 30 minute races, one at Silverstone and one at Bathurst
