The 2025 F1 Sim Racing World Championship is making its return with Event 2 later this month.
In total, 10 F1 esports teams will be racing across four rounds to earn crucial points for the championship. Ahead of the competition, here’s a brief guide to give you all the information you need for F1 esports’ Event 2.
Firstly, it is important to note what is at stake.
The winner of the 2025 F1 Sim Racing World Championship will take home $50,000 (~£40,361) in prize money.
An additional prize pool is given to the constructors’ championship, with the first-place team receiving $130,000 (~£104,939).
F1 Sim Racing World Championship Event 2 Format and Schedule Explained
The second event of F1’s esports competition will follow a similar format to the first round. Taking place on February 11th-February 13th, the 10 teams will compete in races across four circuits (Silverstone, Spa-Franchorchamps, Zandvoort and Circuit of the Americas).
One round is hosted on the first and third day, with two rounds taking place on day two.
Each round will consist of a full qualifying session and a 50% distance Grand Prix. Unlike the traditional F1 teams, each team will field three drivers, meaning there are 30 participants in each race.
To account for the increased number of participants, the first qualifying session (Q1) will see the top 16 drivers with the best-timed lap enter Q2, and Q3 will have a top 10. For the race, pitstop, and compound change are compulsory.
On Day 1 and Day 3, qualifying will kick off at 5 pm GMT and will be followed by the race at 8 pm GMT. On Day 2, the first race will start at 2 pm and the second one at 8 pm.
The races will be broadcast live via the official F1 YouTube esports, Twitch, and Facebook channels, as well as the dedicated F1 Esports social media channels.
Drivers and teams to look out for
After the first four rounds in Event 1, Williams driver Ismael Fahssi is leading the driver championship with 65 points. Not only did he win the opening round in Australia, but the Spanish driver maintained good consistency in all the following races.
He is followed by Red Bull racing driver Jarno Opmeer on 57 points. The two-time champion won Round 2 and came second in the latest race (Round 4) on the Jeddah circuit. Aston Martin driver Otis Lawrence is third at 47, having just won the last round and becoming the youngest driver to win a race at the age of 16 and 9 months.
For the constructors’ championship, Mercedes leads the way at 87 points thanks to strong performances by its three drivers, followed by Williams Esports and Red Bull Sim Racing.
