The GEMA eSports has opted to defend its candidacy with a combination of famous F1 video game streamers, including Photoracertv, JORBAS and Ignars2. Álex Palou will not be the only reality driver taking part in the virtual test, as Team GM07 will be joined by Gil Membrado, Spanish Junior CarCross champion, among other achievements.
