The title deciding fifth and final round of the Protyre Motorsports UK Asphalt Rally Championship eSports tournament is underway, with ewantindall and NickyL555 going head-to-head to become the ‘Protyre Asphalt’ DiRT Rally 2.0 champion.

Each gamer has won two rounds, and just six points separates them at the top of the leaderboard.

On last week’s penultimate round, Round 1 winner NickyL555 used a historic rear-wheel drive Fiat 131 Abarth Rally to reign again in Spain.

Round 2 and 3 winner ewantindall still leads the series, having finished a very close second – a mere 4.29 seconds behind NickyL555 after six Spanish stages – last week in a Ford Escort Mk II.

There is also big battle raging for third place in the tournament, with four gamers separated by just 12 points.

MightyGoose currently holds third in the overall standings, just two points ahead of YarnBarn who moved from sixth to fourth after Spain. Leetindall is just two points further back in fifth, while banksy87 is still very much in contention for bronze, despite dropping from fourth to sixth.

Round 5 has automatically started, with competitors having until 4pm next Monday (1 June) to complete seven Rally Germany stages.

For the grand finale, this week competitors get to choose from a Ford Fiesta R5, Peugeot 208 R5, Mitsubishi Mirage R5, Volkswagen Polo GTI R5, Citroën C3 R5 or a Škoda Fabia R5.

Good luck everyone – and stay safe!
