The race will award USD 9000 in prizes that will be donated to the 'Empathy Pact’

14 drivers defined for the Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Sprint Trophy Latin America

Miami. After several weeks of qualifying tests, the 14 drivers from the same number of countries that will compete in the Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Sprint Trophy Latin America, have already been defined. The competition will take place next Saturday, June 27, and will award USD 9000 in prizes (USD 5000 for the winner, 3000 USD for the second place, and USD 1000 for the third place). The money will be donated to the 'Empathy Pact ', an initiative led by the non-profit organization, TECHO, that seeks to raise funds to help families affected by the coronavirus in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The stage of the Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Sprint Trophy Latin America will be the same of the mythical 24 Hours of Le Mans. The 14 drivers, with their 911 RSR, will do 12 laps around the 13 kilometers and 626 meters of the Circuit de la Sarthe; enough distance for them to have to enter pits at least twice to refuel and change tires. The virtual competition will be run in the Gran Turismo® game on the Sony PlayStation 4® platform. The race will be broadcast live on the PorscheVirtualRacing.com site and will be narrated by experienced racing commentator Alfredo Nin.

"At Porsche, we are very committed to motor sports and social responsibility. This is why we have made a great effort to move forward with the Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Sprint Trophy Latin America and continue to help those most affected by the coronavirus," said George Wills, President and CEO of Porsche Latin America.
