Michelin Malaysia is hosting the Michelin Virtual Racing Series 2021, with time trial submissions open from now until 27 June 2021. Top 94 participants with the fastest times will go through time trial Verification Sessions, then race head-to-head in Tournament Rounds.

The Michelin Virtual Racing Series 2021 will be hosted exclusively on Gran Turismo Sport, and is an official e-racing sanctioned event under the Motorsports Association of Malaysia (MAM).

Mr. Oliver Biggart, Managing Director of Michelin Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei said, “As an active supporter of the e-sports and e-gaming industry on a global level, we are proud to channel our support locally as well, with the first-ever MICHELIN Virtual Racing Series in Malaysia.
