The Real Race – Super Trofeo Esports, Lamborghini’s prestigious virtual competition, is back for its fourth season in 2023, promising an exhilarating experience for racing enthusiasts worldwide.
This year, the competition takes place on the Assetto Corsa Competizione platform, introducing new and exciting format changes that allow participants to showcase their skills and compete against the best esports talent across three continents.
Unveiling the Latest Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 Race Car
The Real Race – Super Trofeo Esports 2023 features the brand-new Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 race car, making it Lamborghini’s most ambitious esports project to date. The event perfectly embodies the values of Lamborghini, known for its authenticity, courage, and ability to surprise, within the thrilling environment of esports.
Exciting Format Changes and On-Site Opportunities
One of the notable additions this season is the chance for aspiring esports talent to showcase their skills live at world-famous racing venues across Europe. The Fanatec Arena, running alongside the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS racing paddock, provides an opportunity for the public to engage in cutting-edge racing simulations. The fastest driver from each event earns a wildcard entry into The Real Race – Super Trofeo Esports Grand Final.
Highlighted On-Site Locations:
- Circuit Paul Ricard – June 3rd
- Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps – July 2nd
- Nürburgring – July 29th
Simultaneously, European drivers are invited to participate in a four-round online racing series, where they compete in hot-stint competitions preceding each standalone racing event. The NALA and APAC regions follow a similar pattern, featuring a single hot-stint qualification and a regional final with the top 24 drivers from each region.
Expanding the Reach of The Real Race
Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai dealers have become the first global partners of the Real Race program. They are organizing a simulator tour, visiting prominent schools and universities in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and searching for the best student racing ‘drivers’ in the Emirates. The top three students will have the honour of representing the UAE in the tournament final.
European drivers face the challenge of qualifying for each race through leaderboard hot-stint competitions. The top 24 drivers from the qualifiers move on to standalone races, using the acclaimed Assetto Corsa Competizione simulation to determine the top four finishers. These finalists, along with wildcard entrants from the on-site activations at Paul Ricard, Spa-Francorchamps, and Nürburgring, as well as the three representatives from Lamborghini Abu Dhabi and Dubai, will compete in the on-site grand final at the Nürburgring Grand Prix Circuit.
A Coveted Prize Awaits
The ultimate goal for all participants in The Real Race – Super Trofeo Esports series is to secure first place in the Grand Final. The winner will receive an exclusive opportunity to become a factory driver in the new Automobili Lamborghini Esports Team, joining a professional esports team involved in some of the most challenging and prestigious esports racing events worldwide. Winners from the NALA and APAC regions will also join the Lamborghini family, representing the brand in championships within their respective regions.
