London, England, (March 24, 2021) – The Grand Final of #formulae: Accelerate Season 1 will see the best sim racers in the world fighting it out to be crowned champion this Thursday, 25 March at 19.00 GMT. 

The six race #esports series – featuring 24 of the fastest sim racers and all 12 real-world ABB FIA #formulae World Championship teams – comes to its conclusion with Erhan Jajovski (representing ROKiT Venturi Racing), Frederik Rasmussen (DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT) and Kevin Siggy (BMW i Andretti Motorsport) battling for the title, as well as a drive in a real-life Gen2 car and a share of a minimum €100,000 prize pool. Jajovski now holds a 26-point lead over closest rival Rasmussen, the equivalent of a race win and fastest lap.

However, the Grand Final sees double points up for grabs, meaning there is a total of 56 points to play for. The sim racers will take on a new circuit, with the Grand Final set in the Eternal City of Rome, a #formulae driver favourite, known for its unforgiving bumps and fast straights. Set beside historic surroundings like the Palazzo dei Congressi and the Piazzale Marconi, the new track is available on rFactor 2 following the show. 

Alongside the all-action #racing, the Grand Final show will feature 12 real-world #formulae drivers competing against each other on the Rome track, just two weeks before the real-world Rome E-Prix. Race At Home winner Stoffel Vandoorne will be #racing, alongside Season 6 Champion António Félix Da Costa, in an effort to earn #formulae: Accelerate Team Standing points, which will go towards the #formulae: Accelerate Team Championship. 

TAG Heuer Porsche #formulae Team driver Pascal Wehrlein will also be competing in the race and will be giving his views on Season 7 so far, fresh from his two points finishes in Diriyah, alongside DS TECHEETAH Team Principal Mark Preston and YouTuber and online gamer FailRace.
