Real-life impact: Teams Championship points for the ENES title
Drivers will not only fight to become the first ENES champion. For the first time, results of the virtual series will also have an impact on the real-life Team Championship of the 2020 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series. At the end of the virtual season, the ENES Champion will bring 40 bonus points to his team, the equivalent of one regular season race, while the runner-up will earn 35 points, third place will be worth 34 points and so on. While in real life two drivers share one NWES car and sum their points for the Teams Championship, in the ENES each driver will compete separately and only the best placed will score points for the team at the end of the season.
This will provide thrilling and exciting battles for the win in the virtual world, as the teams and drivers will chase bonus points that could decide the 2020 Teams Championship battle.
With more than 60 drivers already entered, the first ever EuroNASCAR Esports Series will adopt a compact and exciting heat racing format. After a 2-lap qualifying session, two 10-minute Heat Races will each send the top 15 drivers to the Main Event. Those left out from the Heat Races will have one last opportunity to find their way to the final through the 10-min Last Chance Qualifier, which will award six transfer positions. The Main Event Race will be 30 minutes long and award ENES championship points using the NWES points system.
