How the championship will be going down

Each race will see two grids, two sets of drivers, take simultaneously to the track. A Pro Class will do battle behind the wheel of some of the world’s most ferocious sports cars, whilst a Challenger Class will push its drivers to the limit in fender-to-fender racers. Two competitions on circuit at once, each fighting to find its own victor.

Impress in the qualifying stages, mark yourself as a contender for the title, and you could make it to the top, to the Pro Class. Here the competition is not only toughest, its rewards are greatest. Pro Class drivers who perform well in competition win automatic qualification for the next championship race.

Those who finish the qualifiers in places five to seven earn themselves spots in the Challenger Class. While the top six challengers will share a circuit with the Pro Class drivers in the big races, they have to qualify for these by finishing top six of the weekly Go4ProjectCARS tournaments. After the third and sixth race, the top five challengers will clash with the bottom three pros in a Promotion Race with precious spots on the line for the best three drivers.

It is not speed alone that will make a victor here. It will take guts and knowledge to bring home the chequered flag. Push through the twists and turns of the greatest circuits in motorsport, master the art of navigating a crowded track and, if luck is on your side, you could take home the title of ESL Project CARS Multi-Class European Champion.
