Competition Information

The FIA Esports Global Rally Tour is one of the official sim racing Competitions organised under the authority of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). It brings together the fastest virtual drivers from around the world to compete on equal terms in a globally accessible online qualifying format.

The Competition is played on Assetto Corsa Rally and is open to competitors of all skill levels who meet the eligibility criteria. The top performers from each region will be invited to compete at live onsite Regional Shootout events. These Shootouts will serve as qualifiers for a Grand Final, featuring the world's top 16 Esports Rally drivers, scheduled to take place from 7 to 12 December 2026 during the FIA General Assemblies and FIA Awards in Shanghai, China.

The Competition consists of an online qualifying phase followed by regional onsite finals. During the qualifying window, registered competitors set their best stage times on the official server. Times are logged automatically and displayed on the public leaderboard in real time.

At the close of the qualifying window, the fastest drivers in each region — eight per region, sixteen for Europe — will receive an official invitation to their respective Regional Shootout, where they will compete live for the title.

All competitive sessions are held on Assetto Corsa Rally, available on PC via Steam. Competitors must own a legitimate copy of the game purchased through the Steam platform.

Any hardware setup is permitted — keyboard, gamepad, or wheel and pedal combination. There is no minimum hardware specification beyond the game's own system requirements, making the Competition accessible to as wide an audience as possible.
