Supercars Senior Partnerships Manager at eSports, Mitch Kane, said: “We are very excited to have new brands on board for the first time and we look forward to seeing the brands sign again for 2021.”
“It is a testament to Eseries that such strong brands want to be part of the program that was followed by fans around the world in 2020.
“This year’s Eseries is the perfect mix of supercars drivers and professional players that is sure to appeal to our traditional fans while also attracting new ones,” he said.
The new hybrid model this year is designed to offer fans the perfect mix of Supercars main game drivers and elite Sim racers.
This year’s model will consist of two championships within the series: the All Stars (main game supercars and Dunlop Super2 drivers) and the Pro series (elite players representing Supercars teams and major brands).
The Cash Converters Supercars Eseries will take place on the iRacing platform and will be streamed live on Fox Sports 506, Kayo, 7Plus and Supercars’ Twitch, Facebook and YouTube channels.
The competition features a prize pool of $ 26,500 for the pro gamer portion of the championship and $ 10,000 for the series winner.
