HOW TO FOLLOW THE THIRD ROUND OF THE LE MANS VIRTUAL SERIES
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The longest race of the Le Mans Virtual Series prior to the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual in January takes place this weekend, the 8 Hours of Nürburgring. The third of five rounds for the 2021-22 season will perhaps be the biggest challenge yet for the 114 pro and sim race drivers due to pilot the 38 prototype and GTE entries (entry list) on the famously difficult 21 km/13 mile Nordschleife circuit in Germany. Over 100 corners, dramatic climbs and drops, blind crests and little run-off area can easily catch out even the most experienced so expect plenty of action. How will our Le Mans Virtual Series competitors fare on this legendary track, especially the LMP2 entrants as these cars have never raced on the Nordschleife in real life?
The live broadcast will feature lead commentary by the voice of the FIA World Endurance Championship, Martin Haven, together with Chris McCarthy and Lewis McGlade and will begin at 12:30 pm (GMT) (13:30 CET / 07:30 am ET). Full details of how and when to follow the broadcast and all the action is detailed in the visual above and below.
The first two rounds of esports world’s top endurance racing championship were action-packed and with close and unpredictable racing in both LMP and GTE categories. The No.4 Floyd ByKolles Burst entry holds a narrow 2-point lead at the top of the LMP standings, although Spa winner No.123 Team Redline and its star driver line up which includes Felix Rosenqvist (IndyCar) and Bono Huis (2021 rFactor2 Formula Pro Series champion) will be pushing hard for a second consecutive victory. Chasing them hard is the No.22 GPX Rebellion Williams which this weekend sees Williams F1 reserve driver Jack Aitken in its line-up. In GTE it’s even closer with the No.91 Porsche Esports Team and the No.71 BMW Team Redline both tied at the head of the standings following one win and one second place apiece. The Aston Martin, Corvette and Ferrari entries will all be chasing for more points this weekend, and this class is likely to be as fiercely contested as ever.
The series brings together top-level real-life drivers such as Jenson Button, Alex Palou, Stoffel Vandoorne and Louis Deletraz and some of the world’s best sim racers to compete together in 5 endurance races of between 4 hours and 24 hours in duration and concludes with the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual which will take place live at the Autosport International show in Birmingham, UK in January 2022.

Merkur Group Strengthens Global Compliance Strategy
Under the theme “Perspectives,” a total of 43 compliance staff members from the Merkur Group across various countries gathered from 30 June to 1 July to further develop compliance processes in a sustainable manner. Colleagues from Germany, Spain, England, Malta, Australia and the US traveled to the two-day meeting at Benkhausen Castle, the in-house training centre of the Merkur Group. The workshop set the stage with expert presentations on global and digital topics such as cybersecurity, risk management and artificial intelligence. A panel discussion featuring representatives from various international companies within the Merkur Group, as well as a digital quiz, rounded out the programme.
In keeping with its guiding principle, the workshop focused on sharing experiences, fostering global networking and providing impetus for the further development of compliance processes. Because informal exchanges are also key to close cooperation, the evening programme created a relaxed atmosphere and gave participants the opportunity to continue their conversations, make new connections, and further strengthen team spirit across company and national boundaries.
“The ideas and diverse perspectives gained during the workshop will now be incorporated into our day-to-day work and help us to continuously improve collaboration and existing processes,” said Ludwig Beckmann, Chief Compliance Officer of the Merkur Group.
The concluding feedback session also highlighted just how valuable the international exchange is. The term “collaboration” came up particularly often, a clear indication of how highly the participants value working closely together within the international compliance network.

GRAI Launches New Campaign Helping Parents to Spot the Signs of Underage Gambling
The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) is encouraging parents and guardians to be alert to the signs of gambling among young people and to intervene early to prevent gambling harm.
The signs of gambling aren’t always visible, the GRAI in partnership with the Health Service Executive Addiction Services have developed dedicated advice on www.grai.ie to equip families with the knowledge to recognise the signs, advice on how to start the conversation with their children about gambling, and where to seek help if required.
To support the guidance, the GRAI has launched a national public awareness campaign across video on demand, radio, digital audio, and social media platforms, bringing this message directly to families across Ireland.
With the lines between entertainment and gambling increasingly blurred, especially online, what may look like harmless fun can still involve risk, money and chance in ways that affect young developing brains. Research commissioned by the GRAI and conducted by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) found that children who gamble are twice as likely to develop a gambling problem as adults.
Anne Marie Caulfield, CEO of the GRAI said: “We have launched this campaign to help parents start an important conversation about the risks of underage gambling. Children and young people are among the most at-risk members of Irish society when it comes to gambling exposure and harm. Children’s brains are still developing the judgement and impulse-control systems used to weigh up risk, which makes gambling appealing to them.
“With online gambling available at any time of the day, it is easy for the warning signs to be hidden. The guidance the GRAI developed with the HSE Addiction Services sets out some of the key behavioural signs to look out for in your child.”
