Sami-Joe05 from Lebanon and two-times French world champion Nexl have fought a fierce battle over the 11 rounds and have 4 wins and 10 podium finishes each! At the end of this regular season, the 10 finalists competing for the title of 2020 eSports WRC World Champion all have a chance to win a Toyota GR Yaris.
NACON has confirmed the new eSports WRC season will start in January 2021 with WRC 9. Comprising 13 rounds, the new calendar invites the most talented players to show what they are capable of in the game’s 13 rallies between January and July before competing again in a world final at the end of 2021.
