UK-based esports organisation Guild Esports has won the inaugural edition of the Racing Prodigy League.
The ‘e2real’ competition ran from November 2024 and concluded in March 2025 with the final round taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana.
After five rounds, the esports organisation and TC Racing were tied on points after Lorenz Horzing won ahead of Guild representatives Will Redford and Laurens Beerten, leaving the two teams tied on points.
However, Guild Esports managed to secure the title after defeating TC Racing via a tie-breaker. This was determined by the organisation beating its rival team in a head-to-head race that took place in February 2025.
Fielding a roster of three sim racing drivers, the team was coached by professional racing driver Katherine Legge across five real-world races taking place at tracks across North America.
What is the Racing Prodigy League?
Founded by sports, entertainment, and media company Racing Prodigy, the Racing Prodigy League aims to provide a path for sim racers to transfer their skills onto the real-world race track.
The inaugural edition saw 12 esports tournaments take place with the top 15 drivers securing a place at Prodigy Week, an event providing drivers with a chance to drive Radical SR1 race cars at the Atlanta Motorsports Park.
Featuring tournaments across several sim racing platforms, the ‘e2real’ competition reduces the financial stress drivers face when attempting to embark on a career in motorsport.
Guild Esports was one of four esports organisations fielding rosters during the Prodigy Racing League. The event also features teams from G2 Esports, Williams Esports, and BS+COMPETITION.
“This victory is a testament to the incredible talent and determination of our drivers,” said Seb Hawkins, Guild Racing Team Principal.
“Throughout the season, they have shown remarkable resilience and adaptability, particularly in the final round where the format changed significantly. Will, Laurens, and Nathan have represented Guild with distinction, and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievement in bringing home the championship.”
