There Formula 1, who is experiencing the same difficulties in launching his season, sets the tone. Proposed by the pilot Jean-Eric Vergne, organized by Veloce Esports, an eSports race between drivers and gamers will take place this Sunday. It will be at 18:45 p.m. French time, and will be broadcast on the Veloce Esports Twitch and YouTube channels. The competition will take place online on the Codemasters game, F1 2019.
