Lots of fans of in-game endurance racing around, and lots of us are also big fans of the real thing. We’ve had occasional posts in the past covering specific WEC, Intercontinental GT Challenge, and other endurance racing events, but I thought it would be good to create a dedicated topic for future news, video and posts.
There’s still a few races to go in the 2021 seasons:
The Indy 8-hour is on this weekend, and after Suzuka was cancelled, the IGTC will only have 3 rounds this year, with the season closer back at Kyalami again in early December.
The WEC have released a provisional 2022 calendar:
Michael Fassbender is back with the Porsche team for another attempt at the Le Mans 24-Hour next year. And again we can follow his progress on YouTube with the 3rd season of * Michael Fassbender: Road to Le Mans*, the first episode of which went out a week ago.
Follow the third season as Michael Fassbender makes his journey to the world’s ultimate motorsport event in this weekly YouTube series. ‘Road to Le Mans’ tells the story of his dream to race against the best teams and drivers in the world at the 24h of Le Mans. Next episode coming 25 October.
The combined GT World Challenge and Intercontinental GT Challenge Indy 8-Hour event from Indianapolis this weekend should stream live, with live timing too, here:
Qualifying today at 20:00 SAST, Pole Shootout at 22:20. Race tomorrow from 16:00 until midnight SAST.
The GT World YouTube Channel als o carries a lot of livestreams:
The final round of last year’s Intercontinental GT Challenge - the Kyalami 9 Hour - was supposed to happen on 4 December last year. But then… Omicron. And the stupid, over the top, unfounded, knee-jerk global reaction to travel to and from South Africa. Anyway, it’s that event, rescheduled to 4-5 February.
