Ferrari HP Esports Series 2025: The Road to Abu Dhabi Intensifies

Maranello 23 October 2025

The finale of the Ferrari HP Esports Series 2025 is quickly approaching.

After the conclusion of the Thrustmaster Community Cup and Regional Qualifiers, the competition moves into its decisive phase as drivers begin to dream of competing at the Grand Finals, taking place on 3 December at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

After six weeks of intense global competition, Simone Seminara, an Italian driver, has been crowned this year’s Thrustmaster Community Cup Wildcard Winner. Their standout performance across multiple circuits, including Misano, Monza and Spa-Francorchamps, earned them a seat at the Grand Finals, where they will join the 13 other finalists for the ultimate showdown in Abu Dhabi.

Regional Finals Fire Up

The Regional Qualifiers have officially wrapped across all three platforms and all global regions. A great host of drivers have demonstrated their talent, precision, and determination throughout this stage, marking another milestone in the Ferrari HP Esports Series’ ongoing commitment to growing the global sim racing community.

The next stage of the competition started last week as the Regional Finals commence. Regional Finals represent the final obstacle for drivers aiming to earn a spot in the Grand Finals, so expect intense and competitive racing. 

Fans can follow every moment live on Ferrari’s official YouTube channel, with races taking place across three platforms.
