April is also the perfect time to discover – or dive deeper into – the F1 Sim Racing World Championship. This series brings together the best sim racers on the planet, each representing an official F1 team on state-of-the-art simulators that replicate real racing with incredible accuracy – and you won’t have to wait long for the next set of races.

The 2026 season features 12 rounds across four events, combining the energy of a live esports festival with the intensity of studio-based competition. It got underway in spectacular fashion at DreamHack Birmingham – one of the world’s biggest gaming festivals – before moving to F1’s own Media & Technology Centre at Biggin Hill for the remainder of the season.

One name to watch is the reigning champion Jarno Opmeer – the Red Bull driver is the man to beat, and with the second event just around the corner, the pressure is already building on his rivals to close the gap as he leads the 2026 standings by five points after just three rounds.

For Event 2, there are three more blockbuster races from across two days from April 22-23 at the F1 Media & Technology Centre, Biggin Hill – here’s the schedule:
