What happened at the first ever Virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans?

These included Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, Rubens Barrichello, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Antonio Felix da Costa. These included big names from the virtual world such as Joshua Rogers and James Baldwin, as well as the hugely popular YouTube star Jimmy Broadbent, who hit 500,000 subscribers during the race with less than an hour of his birthday remaining. The game requiredhim to drive through the pits and not stop to refuel, and he didn’t have enough fuel left to complete another lap, putting his team out of the race. The next morning, another red flag was thrown and the server was reset because drivers loading into the game to take over driving duties could not select their car. Team Redline featured F1 drivers Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, who have gained a reputation as two of the highest profile sim racers in the world. The Rebellion Williams eSport entry of Louis Deletraz, Raffaele Marciello, Nikodem Wisniewski and Kuba Brzezinski ended up victorious, winning by just 18 seconds after 24 hours of racing. The German car maker has invested heavily in esports recently, and its newly created online motorsport team dominated the GTE class. The number 93 car driven by Nick Tandy, Ayhancan Guven, Joshua Rogers and Tommy Ostgaard secured pole position in qualifying before going on to win the race.
