The Automobile Club de l'Ouest’s 24 Hours Hours of Le Mans will celebrate 100 years since its first running in 2023, but before then it will also honour its third ever 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual race too. 

On the run-up to the big racing esports event – which will see over 40 cars, across two categories, driven by 140 competitors – there is also the Le Mans Virtual Series, organised and run by Motorsport Games and the ACO. 

Yes, the same Motorsport Games group that Traxion.GG is part of, albeit editorially independent. 

I visited its Northamptonshire esports bunker to go behind the scenes of the opening championship round – the 8 Hours of Bahrain. 

Joining us on this episode are several team members, explaining before and during the event, what their roles are and how the team works together to deliver a professional broadcast. 

• Dan Hyde
• Rich Hutson
• Nairi Shirvanian
• Lewis McGlade
• Oasley Beattie
• Gérard Neveu

Don’t forget you can email [email protected] if you have any questions about sim racing cockpits you’d like us to answer.
