The entry list has been released for the second round of the 2022-23 Le Mans Virtual Series, which will be contested at the virtual Autodromo Nazionale Monza on Saturday, October 8th.

The Le Mans Virtual Series will enter its second stop of the 2022-23 season, the 4 Hours of Monza, on Saturday, October 8th. The event will be contested on the rFactor2 platform. On Wednesday, Motorsport Games dropped the entry list for the second race of the five-event series. And boy, oh boy is it a packed entry list.

The field will be divided into two classes, the LMP2 class, and the GTE class. In total, there will be 40 entries in the event, and each entry will feature a three-driver roster.

There will be 24 entries in the LMP2 class and all competitors will be utilizing the ORECA 07 LMP2 model, while there will be 16 entries in the GTE class with teams having a choice between Ferrari, BMW, Porsche, and Aston Martin Vantage models.

The intriguing thing about the Le Mans Virtual Series, aside from the $250,000 total prize fund, and the incredible schedule built around some of the virtual counterparts of some of the most iconic endurance race tracks around the globe is the fact that real-world FIA-licensed racers (pros) are teamed with elite eSports squads.

The 16 Pros that will be competing on teams in the Monza event include:

• Tom Dillmann (Formula E)
• Sami-Matti Trogen (GT3 and eRacer for Williams eSports)
• Ayhancan Güven (Porsche Factory driver in the ADAC GT Masters)
• Luis Díaz (American Le Mans Series)
• Maťo Homola (TCR Europe)
• James Baldwin (2020 British GT and 2020 Formula One eSports Series)
• Job van Uitert (European Le Mans Series)
• Ye Yifei (2016 French F4 champion, 2020 Euroformula Open champion, 2021 Asian Le Mans Series champion, 2021 European Le Mans Series champion)
