After three days of intense virtual racing at the Esports World Cup 2025, Rennsport has reached its most electrifying moment. What started as a new face in sim racing has rapidly become one of the year’s standout esports titles. With real world car models, lifelike tracks, and elite drivers from across the globe, the championship race has come down to three of the fiercest teams on the scene: Team Redline, Virtus.pro, and Team Vitality.

The journey to the Rennsport Finals began earlier this week, with only a few teams qualifying directly into the Group Stage. Powerhouses like Porsche Coanda, Virtus.pro, and Team Redline had already secured their spots, while six other hopeful teams had to prove themselves on the track. BS+COMPETITION, MOUZ, Mercedes AMG Esports Team MSI, Team Falcons, Team Vitality, and Atlassian Williams Sim Racing were split into groups and battled across three high speed races. In a fiercely contested stage, MOUZ and Team Vitality emerged victorious, while BS+COMPETITION was knocked out early.

Once the top six teams were locked in, the action moved to the Playoff Stage. Over eight high stakes sessions, points were tallied, mistakes were punished, and only the sharpest drivers advanced. By the third day, fans witnessed the most thrilling bracket races yet. The upper bracket saw Team Redline edge past Virtus.pro and Porsche Coanda, while the lower bracket saw Team Vitality make an astonishing comeback to claim their spot in the Finals.

Now, with the spotlight firmly on July 11, the final three teams are set for an epic eight race showdown. The first to reach 250 points will be crowned champions and take home the lion’s share of the half million dollar prize.

All eyes are on Team Redline, who have lived up to their reputation as the most dominant force in sim racing today. With a stacked roster including Luke Bennett, Enzo Bonito, Kevin Siggy, Jeffrey Rietveld, and Sebastian Job, Redline’s consistency and experience have made them the favorite to win it all. Each member has a history of elite performances across titles like rFactor 2 and ESL R1, and together they have transformed Redline into an almost untouchable unit.

But hot on their heels is Virtus.pro, a team built on steady grit and teamwork. Drivers like Kevin Ellis Jr., Dáire McCormack, Vojtěch Fiala, and Mikhail Statsenko have spent the last two years carving out top three finishes in international competitions. Their podium appearances across the ESL R1 Fall Season and Virtual Endurance Masters reflect the type of resilience needed to win under pressure. Their performance throughout EWC 25 has proven that they are not just contenders but genuine threats to the title.

Then there’s Team Vitality, the dark horse with momentum. After fighting their way from the qualification rounds all the way to the lower bracket of the playoffs, they soared to a 156 point performance and stunned everyone. Racers like Thibault Cazaubon, Marcell Csincsik, Erhan Jajovski, and Jiri Toman have grown stronger with every race, showing tactical maturity and raw speed. With past experience racing under the R8G Esports banner, their chemistry is now translating into results when it matters most.

As the engines warm up for the final lap of Rennsport at EWC 25, fans can tune in live via YouTube and the official EWC platform to witness the next chapter of sim racing history. Every turn, every pass, and every strategy call will count. With everything on the line, this finale promises to be one of the most dramatic finishes in esports racing this year.
