Welcome to the eighth season of the eSport Endurance Series, organised by e-Racing Series, the first on Le Mans Ultimate!

e-Racing Series was founded back in 2017, with the purpose of hosting online competitions on Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione and rFactor2. Throughout our adventure we have made many experiments, with cars, classes, categories, formats and tracks. In the long run, we realised that what we felt the most comfortable with was endurance racing, with all the adrenaline that it brings along.

As per last season, we had an invite sign-up phase, which took from August the 7th – to August the 18th!

During this first phase we received a little more signups than expected so, we are evaluating opening a second server!

So this is the official opening for the public signup phase! During this phase every team can sign-up for this fantastic new season!

In regards to the eES, this season will be a complete turnaround over previous seasons, considering the change of platform. Most tracks will however be confirmed from previous seasons. While Sebring, Spa, Imola, Interlagos, Le Mans and Bahrain will stay, we will also visit Circuit of the Americas and Fuji. You can find the detailed schedule below:

If you are interested in this, and would like to sign up, you just have to fill in the following FORM (google account needed). The car choice is not considered final, so you can choose just a placeholder car. Definitive choice has to be made before September the 14th.

Please remember that, as per Official Rulebook – Sect. 1, Rule 7, you have to consider the current Drivers Category before signing up your Team. If you have drivers not included in the above list, you have to provide us a few results of these drivers (race results in endurance championships, and if you have an iRating in iRacing or an ELO in LFM) in order to rank them.

This year, every driver must pay the entry fee for the championship. Sign-up fee is 35€ per driver of regular teams. The entry fee will be applied also for drivers added to the lineup during the championship. After the end of the third race entry fee will become € 15,00 for each added driver.

The public signup phase will end on the 14th of September 2025 at 21 CEST. This will also be the deadline for drivers to complete the payment of the sign-up fee in order to have access to the discount.

Please note that the sign up will be completed following the payment of the fee from at least 2 drivers. Your drivers can pay it here. If you want to pay the entry fee for one or more of your drivers you can do it by simply editing the last number on the paypal link (for example 50 for 2 drivers, 75 for 3 drivers and so on).

Please, Ask your driver to write in the payment note Team Name and Number sent in the Google Form

Hope to see you on track,
