We have reached the halfway point in the 2016 Project CARS Esports season, so it’s time to meet another of the world’s best sim racing teams as they finally have a bit of time to speak to us as we head into  the summer break. This time, we focus on 5Aces eSport, a German outfit which actually features drivers from several European nations. It’s also one of the top PC-focused teams competing in Project CARS.

The 5Aces lineup includes some of the top drivers from the ESL Project CARS Cup tournaments on the PC platform; USSRxALeXeR, Shamanzombi, IJJaUTaH, Nesterowicz, and Tipple. ALeXeR once dominated the ESL Cups, with weeks and weeks of consecutive wins. Nesterowicz and Tipple will also be familiar to anyone who has watched the Apex Online Racing GT3 Elite League, as both these drivers have been consistent competitors in our Official League there. The 5Aces team currently sits fourth in the NVIDIA Challenger Series team standings on PC.

We spoke to team boss, Aleksandr Agramakov, to uncover the secrets to 5Aces’ success.
