Our biggest series of the year is coming! VRS Endurance 2026 starts on Friday the 26th of June for 6 rounds of action at some of the world’s best circuits in the GTP, LMP2 and GTD classes. All the action is broadcast from the Apex Racing TV Esports Studio.
Road America makes a long awaited return to the series, hosting the opening round of the championship. We then make our first ever visit to Interlagos just a few days after WEC visits the track IRL. Sebring is back after a 2 year hiatus, but is succeeded by another new circuit, Red Bull Ring. Round 5 is held at Watkins Glen before the racing is concluded at Nurburgring GP. Rain is a risk, with the teams being notified about the forecast around a week prior to each round. Live stewards are on hand to distribute drive through penalties for teams at fault for any incidents.
GTP fuel tank capacity is restricted to 80% in order to force drivers to make 4 pitstops – whether teams pursue 4 equally long stints or 3 full stints and a splash could be important when to claim clean air and maximise their race time. The same conundrum will be posed to the LMP2s, with their lack of tank restrictions also meaning their stints will last around 40 minutes. GTDs are limited to 90% fuel tank capacity, forcing them to make 3 pitstops.
Every round of the series is broadcast on Apex Racing TV’s YouTube channel live from the Apex Racing Esports Studio by Sam Fitzpatrick and David Sampson (Sampsoid). They will be covering qualifying and the race with their SDK Gaming overlay and live timing, 3D track maps and host interviews with drivers post race.
