Sebring, October 10 — The story begins with the 2026 IMSA Esports Global Championship, which continues with its second round on October 11th at Sebring International Raceway, a 3.7-mile, 17-turn permanent road racing fixture located in Sebring, Florida. What unfolded in the opening round two weeks ago was a surprise, with new winners emerging in both classes. The No. 31 Bleu Mercure Esport Acura and the No. 107 Risi Competizione by GnG Ferrari claimed victories in the Grand Touring Prototype and Grand Touring Daytona classes, respectively.
At its heart, the championship is about competition and skill, with the top teams in each class earning $5,000 at the end of the season. For those involved, the stakes are high, with points on the line not only in the race but also in qualifying.
The Sebring race will be a challenging one, with two hours and 40 minutes on the clock.
The Road to Sebring
Last year, Coanda Esports swept the virtual day in Florida, but this year’s opening round saw new winners take the top spots. The No. 107 Risi Competizione by GnG Ferrari will be looking to continue their winning streak at Sebring. The track itself is a challenging one, with 17 turns and a length of 3.7 miles.
The championship will continue after Sebring, with the third race of the season taking place in two weeks at Watkins Glen International in Upstate New York on October 25th. For now, all eyes are on Sebring, where the top teams will be battling it out for points and prize money.
What’s at Stake
The prize money is a significant incentive for the teams, with $5,000 on the line for the top teams in each class. But it’s not just about the money – the championship is also about prestige and bragging rights. For the teams and drivers involved, the championship is a chance to prove their skills and compete against the best in the world.
As the teams prepare to take to the track at Sebring, the tension is building. Who will emerge victorious, and who will be left in the dust?
The answer will have to wait until October 11th, when the second round of the 2026 IMSA Esports Global Championship gets underway.
Looking Ahead
For now, the focus is on Sebring, but the championship is far from over. With several more rounds to come, including the upcoming race at Watkins Glen International, there’s still plenty of time for the teams to make their move. As the season heats up, one thing is certain – the competition will be fierce, and only the best will emerge victorious.
