Speaking with Zachary before the final night of pre qualification, we posed the question regarding securing promotion into the qualification rounds amongst the strong contingent of drivers all with the hopes of securing their place.

“The field is obviously very strong, as you would expect for a competition as great as this. I’ll be trying everything I can to get inside the top 45, but at the end of the day, I’ve probably spent 10 hours in the sim over the last 6 months due to circumstances outside of my control and that has had an effect on my performance. I can definitely put in some decent improvements on both tracks, as to whether or not it will be good enough, well, I hope so! But with this level of competition I’m gonna have to pull a couple out to make it work“ - Zachary Hanlin.

With the backing of world class operation Altus Esports, Zachary will be one to keep a close eye on during the final night of pre qualifying as he tries to secure his place on the qualifying grid.

5 hours remain in the Logitech G Pro Invitational series Pre Qualifying segment, who will stake their claim and secure promotion.

Adam Briggs believes Hungary data will be the key to personal improvement to his collective time in pre qualifying.

Adam is no stranger to the Logitech G Pro Invitational series having made his debut in a underwhelming endurance campaign alongside Jordan Ross of Synergy Sim Racing, netting a best result of 18th from the duel race campaign.

Returning in 2023 trying to secure a full time drive under the SSR stable, we took a brief moment to speak with Briggs during pre qualifying.

Although happy with his start so far, Briggs is still searching for improvement. Comfortable at Winton is the biggest positive to date, he’s still left with the feeling he needs to find more time around Hungaroring circuit.

“With Hungary being a completely new track for me, The most amount of gains for my collective time will be there, I need to look at that particular data and indentify some key areas for improvement“ - Adam Briggs.

The 4.381 kilometre circuit seems to be proving itself as the Achilles heel for some drivers who all will seek to improve over the coming nights action.
