ESR Academy – Season 2

ESR Academy Cup 2019 - Second Semester

ESR would like to invite all new drivers (or old) who are looking to improve and learn in a friendly environment.

Welcome to the ESR Academy which is entering its second season!

The goal of this series is to help develop drivers who are new to sim racing, or have gaps in their skill set with regard to consistency, track reading, door to door racing, setup, car knowledge or anything else that is limiting their success. Some of the finest drivers in the ESR community will be coaching.

There will be 2 classes this season based on pace and needs. Class 101 or the Under class will use fixed setups and focus on driving pace and consistency. It is ideal for drivers that are a little bit lost in finding their way around the track.

The second class (201 or Upper) will unlock car setup and focus on more advanced concepts. This is for drivers with a solid base of technical skill and mental focus who are in need of smaller developments, to bring them into competition with the upper midfield to front of the grid in ESR.

After successfully racing the Audi TT in Season 1, we have decided on a new challenge in the form of the BMW 235i. Why does this make a great academy car? Well, it’s rear wheel drive and is a very stable platform to drive. This should allow for a reasonably short period of learning the car before progressing onto more advanced concepts for pace, overtaking, defending and becoming a complete racer.

All tracks used will remain free content, keeping the costs of this academy very low.
