SAMANTHA TAN RACING ESPORTS Advances Through ERL Second Chance Qualifier

September 16, 2025

• VCO’s Esports Racing League made its return after three years with 23 teams battling across multiple racing platforms, starting with ACC competition at Red Bull Ring. While big names like Romain Grosjean’s R8G Esports got eliminated early, SAMANTHA TAN RACING ESPORTS proved they belonged by securing a top-two finish in the second chance qualifier alongside BS+COMPETITION to advance to the quarter finals.
• The tournament format proved unforgiving – only twelve teams from the original 23 made it through to the quarter finals, with ten earning automatic advancement and just two spots available through the second chance qualifier. SAMANTHA TAN RACING’s advancement demonstrates the depth of talent across the esports racing landscape, especially considering they outlasted established teams with bigger names and resources.
• Team Nitro ultimately claimed victory in a best-of-three final against Virtus.pro, continuing their dominant streak in ERL finals on ACC. The championship moves to Le Mans Ultimate for round two on September 27th, where teams will pilot the challenging Oreca 07 LMP2 car, giving SAMANTHA TAN RACING ESPORTS another platform to showcase their skills in the multi-discipline format.
