Chinese driver Zhou wins F2 virtual Grand Prix
BEIJING -- Chinese racing driver Zhou Guanyu has won another victory in the second round of F2 Virtual Racing on Sunday.
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, who won the F1 Virtual Grand Prix on the Shanghai track, started on pole position in the race held at the virtual Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Renault Academy driver Zhou started second on the grid and he and Leclerc soon began pulling away. Zhou, who won the first F1 Virtual Grand Prix on the Bahrain Circuit in March, performed very well in this round, and he finally secured the victory.
While Leclerc, who was down to sixth after being punted off, fought back brilliantly to get back up to second before a technical issue saw him retire on the very last lap.
Many Grand Prix races have been postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, therefore the sport launched a virtual series to keep fans entertained.
