The fundamental racing set-up divide in Forza Esports
A key element of the Le Mans Esports Series set-up prompted a split response from the sim racing community when the new contest was launched but, as the championship builds towards its finale at the 24 Hours, its philosophy is proving correct
When the Le Mans Esports Series launched at Silverstone in August, announcing a showpiece finale taking place alongside the real-life 2019 Le Mans 24 Hours with a prize fund of $160,000, the majority of the response from the Forza Esports community was focused on one detail of the competition requirements.
Forza Esports championships - uniquely for the Esports racing scene - have so far allowed gamers to use their controller instead of the wheel/pedals combination seen in the majority of other Esports series. The LMES revealed its onsite events will force its competitors to use the wheel/pedals set-up, in alignment with the wider sim racing community.
