Supercars returns to the world of virtual racing tonight for the season-opener of its 2021 Eseries.
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but the six-round, weekly competition is designed to offer a racing fix while the real-life Repco Supercars Championship is on pause.
This year, the Eseries is being done a little differently, with an All Stars field involving household names who are more accustomed to a physical race car, and a separate Pro grid made up of simulator racing gurus.
Aside from an all-in Round 5 visit to Mount Panorama, they will compete at different venues.
Tonight will see the All Stars hit an oval at Charlotte Motor Speedway, while the Pro drivers are dealt the Red Bull Ring in Austria.
Qualifying gets underway at 19:00 AEST, available on Facebook, YouTube and Twitch, before the Fox Sports/Kayo/7Plus/Sky NZ broadcast kicks into action from 19:30 AEST.
