High Stakes for Top Talent
Winners of the 2026 edition will go on to represent Malta at the prestigious FIA Motorsport Games, aligning local sim racers with global motorsport elites.
To participate, drivers must obtain an MMF Esports License, which includes a complimentary one-year iRacing subscription—a move designed to make entry more accessible and encourage new talent.
Aligned with FIA Standards
With growing global recognition of sim racing by the FIA, all events will comply with its official International Sporting Code – Appendix E, ensuring a professional and standardized level of competition.
More Than Just a Championship
Beyond crowning champions, WPR and MMF are building a stronger sim racing community. WPR will host regular community races to support new drivers, foster competition, and help aspiring racers develop real-world motorsport potential.
“It’s time we focus more on grassroots sim racing,” said Adrian Figallo, Co-Founder of WPR. “Our goal is to guide and prepare local talent for high-level competition. The only real difference between top drivers abroad and local ones is commitment. With support like the free iRacing license, we’re lowering barriers and giving every passionate driver a real shot.”
Duncan Micallef, President of MMF, added. “Sim racing is now a vital part of motorsport. Through this partnership, we’re unlocking new pathways for Maltese drivers and building an inclusive and competitive sim racing culture.”
