The six-race esports series has been intense, and no mistake has gone unpunished. Frederik Rasmussen's win in Round 4 at Diriyah last week set up the run-in perfectly, as the rapid Dane clawed back ground on standings leader Erhan Jajovski (ROKiT Venturi Racing) and Kevin Siggy (BMW i Andretti Motorsport).

The series so far

Round 1 at New York City saw the introduction of ATTACK MODE and energy management into the sim threw everything up in the air among the grid of world-class sim racers, though Jajovski managed things nicely for the opening win of the series.

The battle continued on the virtual streets of Hong Kong's Harbourfront, with ROKiT Venturi Racing's "rFactor 2 GOAT" Jajovski doubling up to make it two lights-to-flag victories in two.
