The Japan eSports GT Series Returns for 2021

October 19, 2020 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

There’s a new sponsor and a price fund of ¥5 million (around £36,500) as the Japan eSports GT Series returns for 2021, with the first event starting in mid December, 2020.

Now named the ‘Autobacs JeGT Grand Prix’ with support from the Japanese automotive company, the pro-am series combines professional racing drivers with sim racers certified by the championship which launched in 2019-2020. So you’ll see names from Fomrula D and Super GT up against Japanse virtual racers including previous winner Takuma Miyazono.

The exact format for the new season hasn’t been revealed yet, but it’s likely to continue running on GT Sport, once again using the Gr.3 cars, and with both an individual tournament and team event. The solo prize will be ¥1m (£7,300) , with ¥1.5m (£10,950) for a team victory.

What has been confirmed are the dates on the online competition, with the first invididual match and team battle taking place in December 2020, with the remaining rounds coming in the new year. The grand final should be held in March 2021, potentially at the Redee World arena.

Autobacs JeGT Grand Prix 2020/2021 Schedule:

Individual Match

  • Round 1 – December 19, 2020
  • Round 2 – January 9, 2021
  • Round 3 – January 30, 2021
  • Round 4 – February 20, 2021
