LMP3 ADDED TO 2022 FIA GAMES
A new multi-class endurance competition with LMP3 and GT3 cars will join the second edition of the FIA Motorsport Games, being held this October.
The games are a multi-discipline global competition wherein National Sporting Authorities (ASNs), including a Team UK, compete for medals under their national colours. Its second edition takes place on October 26-30 in Marseille and the nearby Circuit Paul Ricard.
GT3-spec cars, which featured in the inaugural games in 2019 as part of the GT Cup, return to 2022’s event, while LMP3 prototypes make their event debut.
Karting will also have a vastly increased presence at the forthcoming games with two additional karting categories, Karting Endurance and Karting Sprint, joining Karting Slalom that was part of the inaugural games. Formula 4, touring cars and drifting have also been confirmed to return.
Director of FIA sports and touring cars Marek Nawarecki said: “The world of endurance racing by its nature is diverse and inclusive. I believe that the Endurance discipline will attract a strong and eclectic entry that will produce great competition.”
