ESL Go4 Cup #1 Results

The Project CARS eSports competition is back again with the first ESL Go4 Cup!

​On Sunday October 4 hundreds more players came together to compete for the first ever cash prizes offered in Project CARS! There was €50 up for grabs for winners on PS4, Xbox One & PC, and there’s even more cash to grab later in the month via the Monthly Finals!

The first Go4 Cup saw appearances from lots of familiar faces from the Kick Off cups, as well as some of the fastest Project CARS players in the world who have made their name racing in the SMS-R Driver Network Championship...

On PS4 it was regular Kick-Off Cup participant, Alexx54 from Germany who took home the first cash prize seeing off some stiff competition on his way to the final round. Best of all, he managed to defeat TSRacing-Atho in the final. Beating Atho is no mean feat! He’s one of the fastest drivers in the SMS-R Driver Network Championship and has been a top performer in the ESL races too. These two guys are going to have many more battles in the weeks ahead!

In the Xbox One bracket there was more upset for the SMS-R regulars as the Starlux team entered several drivers in the Go4 Cup but they were all knocked out before the semi-final stage. TX3’s drivers suffered a similar fate, not making it past the round of 16. They were all bested by a new ESL Project CARS winner, mihaloo from Finland who knocked out drivers from both of these SMS-R teams en-route to the prize.

In the PC bracket, some of the big guns of PC sim racing were out in force. STD-RS, another SMS-R team, didn’t make a big impact in this event, which just goes to show how incredibly high the standard has been with so many Driver Network Championship drivers getting caught out this weekend. German, Tim Heinemann (or should that be ‘the notorious Tim Heinemann’) was competing again, fresh from his tournament victory at the Nurburgring’s Sim-Racing Expo last month. However, he came up against a brick wall in the form of USSRxALeXeR who previously dominated several ESL Kick-Off Cups and came away with another win in Go4 #1.

The next ESL Project CARS tournament is Go4 Cup #2 on Sunday October 11. For more information about the ESL Project CARS Go4 Cups and to register to race, please check out our dedicated ESL Go4 page here.
