From this series, where the 60 most successful racers from hundreds of thousands of applicants worldwide have qualified, the top 18 will advance to the F1 Esports Pro Exhibition, from where a path to one of the 10 official F1 esports teams could lead. &#8220;<strong>As we have already announced, one of our medium-term goals is to get a Czech driver into the virtual F1 series.

All 10 current F1 teams participate with the best virtual racers, which among other things generate qualifying championships. These are therefore closely monitored by the scouts of each stable. The highlight of each season is the F1 Esports Pro Championship, in which the official F1 esports teams compete for driver and constructor titles in a similar way to the real-world Grand Prix. This year it will take place from September to December. Meanwhile, adepts from all corners of the globe, including Jan Haladei, will drive six challengers races to try and qualify for the Pro Exhibition at Silverstone in June. Racing will take place on Playstation, Xbox and PC platforms, with the top six from each advancing to the Pro Exhibition. From this eighteen, F1 esports teams can choose their drivers for this year&#8217;s championship.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomasengesimracing.cz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/haladej_tiskova_zprava-pozadi.webp\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomasengesimracing.cz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/haladej_tiskova_zprava-pozadi.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.tomasengesimracing.cz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/haladej_tiskova_zprava-pozadi-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.tomasengesimracing.cz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/haladej_tiskova_zprava-pozadi-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomasengesimracing.cz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/haladej_tiskova_zprava-pozadi-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.tomasengesimracing.cz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/haladej_tiskova_zprava-pozadi-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.tomasengesimracing.cz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/haladej_tiskova_zprava-pozadi-1536x1536.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>Jan Haladej enters the first major esport tournament of his career in the colours of the Tom\u00e1\u0161 Enge SIM Racing team.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: JUSTIFY;\"><strong>Jan Haladej<\/strong>: &#8220;This is my first major esports tournament, so I really appreciate the opportunity I have been given as a rookie by the Tom\u00e1\u0161 Enge SIM Racing team.
