IMSA Announces New IMSA Esports Global Championship SIM Racing Series

The International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) has announced the new IMSA Esports Global Championship.

The virtual championship is the first IMSA-backed iRacing series dedicated to professional sim racers and sim racing teams.

The IMSA Esports Global Championship kicks off in October and will feature some of the world’s top professional sim racers and sim racing teams competing for cash purses in each event of the four-race series and for the overall series championship.
