Following the overwhelming success of MotoGP’s first-ever Virtual Race, a second event was recently announced and it’s now getting closer!

The MotoGP’s first-ever Virtual race went on last Sunday. After a successful result, MotoGP is bringing fans a 2nd virtual race this Sunday! This is something you wouldn’t want to miss during this MCO!

This Sunday at 15.00 (GMT+2) another cast of premier class superstars will be lining up With a few returning from the first race; like reigning MotoGP™ World Champion Marc Marquez – and a few new faces taking on the competition too. Including the likes of Valentino Rossi (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) and Danilo Petrucci (Ducati Team). As ever, the riders will be playing on the official MotoGP™19 Videogame from videogame developer, publisher and longstanding partner Milestone, with MotoGP™20 set for launch soon on Friday the 23rd of April.

The line-up:

Repsol Honda Team: Marc Marquez, Alex Marquez
Ducati Team: Danilo Petrucci, Michele Pirro
Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP: Valentino Rossi, Maverick Viñales
Petronas Yamaha SRT: Fabio Quartararo
Pramac Racing: Francesco Bagnaia
LCR Honda Idemitsu: Takaaki Nakagami
Reale Avintia Racing: Tito Rabat

For MotoGP Virtual Race 2, it’s the Red Bull Ring that plays host as the riders take on the digital rendition of the stunning Styrian track, with the race length set to 10 laps. Just like in the first event, a five-minute qualifying session in time-attack mode will decide the grid positions before the lights go out, although as we saw in Race 1 there’s far more to winning that just being the fastest! And remember, there’s nowhere to hide – with each rider live on the stream throughout the broadcast. Also don’t forget, the winner will then go LIVE on Instagram with MotoGP™ to debrief at 16:00!
