Opel is ready to make a statement.
"Celebrating our GSE and motorsport DNA, we are bringing performance, technology and gaming together in a unique and engaging way. Together with GIANTX and OverDrive Esports, we have created five fully customised Opel maps, built to challenge every driver and reward the fastest.
It all begins on Friday 9 October with Rüsselsheim to Paris, our signature map.
More than a track, it is a bold expression of the Opel spirit, taking drivers on a journey from our home in Rüsselsheim. ZeratoR and Samuel will launch the map live on stream, and from that moment the hunt is on: every time you set counts towards the Chase.
The excitement will reach another level on Saturday 17 October, when four new maps join the competition.
*From then on, all five maps count, and every tenth of a second matters. The format is simple. Set your best time on each of the five maps, and your times are added together into one overall time. The lower your overall time, the higher you climb. A live standings page at *(https://theopelchase.com/) will keep everyone up to date throughout the two weeks.
The fastest drivers will share a total €5,000 prize fund.
