ESPORTS RACING RANKINGS

The Power Rankings indicate are a statistical record of every driver that has stepped onto the podium in any esports racing event, irrespective of game or platform.

The aim is to give an impartial overview of the best drivers around the world, what they've achieved, and how they stack up against others.

The Power Rankings are updated after every major esport event, the most recent being the inaugural Electronic Race Of Champions held in Riyadh.
The results of this event pushed Team Redline's Enzo Bonito into the Top 50 for the first time, gave newcomer Brendan Leigh some more points, and added a few for Oscaro's Kevin "SoniK" Leaune.

We hope you find these interesting and look forward to the rest of 2018 as esports racing continues to great new heights with the introduction of the DiRT World Championship, A1 eSports League, and the return of the 2018 SMS-R Championship Series.

The British Esports Association has announced first details of its inaugural British Esports Championships aimed specifically at school and college students.
A pilot will get underway in February 2018, running across three games: League of Legends, Overwatch and Project CARS 2 and involving a wide demographic of students aged between 12 to 19 across four different types of educational establishment: schools, further education colleges, library hubs and alternative provision (pupil referral units).
Weekly matches will take place, with fixtures pre-arranged, and time will be allowed for schools and colleges to hold their own internal trials, in order to put together their most competitive teams.
​The national championships will then begin in full in September 2018. It will follow the full academic year from September 2018 until July 2019. It's hoped the grand finals will take place in August 2019 at the UK's largest gaming festival – Insomnia – at the Birmingham NEC.

"Ever since the release of the original Project CARS title, we've seen the franchise played by a wide variety of players including some that hope to one day enter the world of real-world competitive motorsports. As well as playing the game for fun, they also use it as a training tool to learn the skills and attitude needed out on the track, or supplement their existing talent in karting to further enhance their racecraft.. The British Esports Championships therefore is an exciting opportunity to further discover those individuals out there that potentially are the next Lewis Hamilton, whilst also providing a platform to encourage teamwork and give the next generation the skills needed to compete collaboratively in the esports world."
- Andy Tudor, Chief Creative Officer
After the second round seeing in the new year in January, Europe West are currently winning the Master and Challenger Divisions, whilst Eastern Europe currently hold the top spot in the Championship Division.

  • We are also introducing the World Time Attack competition which aims to find the world's fastest drivers and the fastest region. Not only will this be a great showcase of talent for players out there but also a great recruitment opportunity for teams wanting to build a strong roster
