Lorenzo to make Virtual MotoGP debut at Silversone race on Sunday

Three-time MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo will make his competitive esport debut when he joins the virutal grid at Silverstone this weekend.

The riders will again be playing on the new official MotoGP20 Videogame from videogame developer, publisher and longstanding partner Milestone – which is available to buy now – as they race around one of the most challenging tracks of the season.

Eight MotoGP™ riders form the premier class grid, including the likes of super-fast Fabio Quartararo (Petronas Yamaha SRT) and former virtual winner Francesco Bagnaia (Pramac Racing), but they’ll have a big new name to contend with this time around: Lorenzo!

The MotoGP race is up first, followed by Moto2, before the show finishes up with Moto3.

As ever, highlights from qualifying will be shown before the races, with those sessions set to decide the grid before the broadcast.
