GP Explorer 2 dates and times

THE GP Explorer 2the second edition of the car racing event organized by Squeezie, will start tomorrow morning and will end the same evening with a 15-lap race (here). For those who don’t know, the youtuber with 18.3 million subscribers embarked on the crazy project of creating his own grand prix last year! And after an outstanding first edition both in terms of numbers and show on the track, it was only fitting to see the content creator come up with a second edition. Unlike last year, it is not 22, but 24 personalities from the Internet and music who will compete from 6:35 p.m. on the mythical Bugatti circuit of Le Mans aboard Formula 4.

Announced several months ago during a Twitch live on Squeezie’s channel, the pilots have been training and preparing for almost as long to offer the 60,000 spectators – 20,000 more than last year – on site and to the viewers a show worthy of the name. Between physical preparations, learning the rules of the race and test sessions, the participants underwent real training to better understand the event and not put themselves in danger on D-Day. While many may think that driving a car is Is simple ; racing is a whole different thing.

GP Explorer 2: real single-seaters for real car racing

Indeed, these single-seaters, although equipped with four wheels like our everyday cars, have absolutely nothing to do with your Clio 4 or your 206. Tell yourself that these cars like no other own a power-to-weight ratio of 3 – which means that a horse carries 3 kg – equivalent to that of a Porsche 911 (977) Turbo, just that. To arrive at this result, simply divide the weight of the single-seater (505 kg) by the number of horses (170).

Furthermore, these single-seaters are built in carbon and contain a multitude of technologies directly inherited from Formula 1. Despite a much lower maximum speed than the higher categories, Formula 4 single-seaters, driven by rappers and content creators, are capable of come and tickle 220 km/h in a straight line. As indicated in the program, the GP Explorer follows the course of a Formula 1 racing weekend to the letter, including free practice sessions, qualifying and the race – several other surprises are also planned.

Sylvain (Cilebrequin) will defend his title against veterans and novices

You have undoubtedly seen it on the various social platforms in recent months, one of the highlights of this event, which has aroused and continues to arouse immense interest, lies in its high-flying cast. As mentioned above, the GP Explorer 2 brings together 24 personalities from Twitch, YouTube and the world of music divided into 12 teams. Each of the duos is accompanied by one or more sponsors, whose logos are proudly displayed on their suits and their single-seaters. Here is the list of the teams and the drivers who compose them:

Last year, it was Sylvain from the YouTube channel Vilebrequin who won ahead of Depielo and Étienne Moustache. And if we are to believe the words of the various participants, we should witness, once again, a great battle between the representative of the NordVPN team and that of the Alpine team (Esteban Ocon). In the vlogs published on the YouTube channels of budding drivers, we were also able to learn that among the new faces, SCH and Maxime Biaggi are under the pedal. Of course, Squeezie, LeBouseuh, Djilsi, Gotaga, Manon and Kaatsup will also have the desire and ambition to slip into the top 5, or even the top 3. But we can make as many predictions as we want; tomorrow, it will be the track and the talent of the drivers who will give us the name of the champion of GP Explorer 2.
