The FIA Formula E Championship is hitting Las Vegas this week for the inaugural Visa Vegas eRace.
Earlier this week, an all-electric convoy took to The Strip, with Sam Bird in a Formula E car, Antonio Felix da Costa in the BMW i8 Qualcomm Safety Car and Mitch Evans in the new Jaguar I-PACE concept to promote this weekend's eRace.
However the e Race will not feature the cars in their physical form, but instead will pit the 20 Formula E racers up against 10 sim racers in a virtual world, with a $1 million pool making it the richest race in eSports racing history.
The battleground will be a 3.1-mile, 20-turn circuit designed around the streets of Sin City. A cool $200,000 will be awarded to the event winner.
The race will be broadcast live at www.twitch.tv and on the FIA Formula E website and app, with Jack Nicholls and Dario Franchitti providing commentary.
