What is the eSeries?
The PT Autosport eSeries is an iRacing series designed to test talented sim-racers on all the attributes needed to be a promising real-world race car driver. The eSeries creates an opportunity to move to real-world racing through competing in an exciting and unorthodox championship for an entry into our Aspiring Driver Shootout.

As we build out our driver-development pyramid we're constantly searching for new talent in motorsports, and where better to find it than in Sim-Racing. Our first Aspiring Driver Shootout winner went from sim-racing with no real-world experience to challenging for race wins in the Toyota GR Cup Series, over 50% of our 2023 Shootout finalists had sim-racing experience, and our 2024 Shootout was the first to have a finalist who secured their spot by winning an eSeries. With so much talent coming from a sim-racing background, we wanted to incorporate sim-racing into our driver development pyramid as an affordable entry point to motorsports, and to foster development of talented young drivers in eSports. Enter the PT Autosport eSeries.
In our Qualifying round, we'll cut down the field to the 40 fastest drivers, who will go through to our 5-race series. Over 5 rounds of racing, you'll be tested across multiple disciplines, cars, and tracks in the ultimate test of speed, racecraft, and adaptability in hopes of winning a direct entry into the 2025 PT Autosport Aspiring Driver Shootout finals, where you'll race on track to fight for a driver partnership worth up to $250,000 to chase your real world racing dreams.
