Houston, TX - (NewMediaWire) - July 22, 2020 - D3eSports, a division of StemGen, Inc. (OTC: SGNI), provided another sensational round of esports competition in Round 4 of its five-week D3eSports Cup presented by STEM.org virtual racing championship this past weekend.

This week’s 12-lap D3eSports Cup championship was showcased at the iconic 3.7-mile, 17-turn Sebring International Raceway in Central Florida.

Companies include STEM.org, Hasbro’s Transformers, Zotac Gaming, Vivis (a division of Neutra), Audrain Auto Museum, and MERICA brands.

The first four rounds and 12 races of the D3eSports Cup championship served as qualifying races, completed through a Swiss format of competition. Round 5 will operate in a different structure with the Top 8 drivers having a 5-lap practice race and are secured to compete in the final race. The drivers in the lower 8 of the points will also have a 5-lap practice, where two can advance to the final 15-lap race in a Wild Card spot. The two Wild Card entries are based on professionalism, improvement, and race craft over the previous 12 races and the final 5-lap practice. The Top 8 plus the two Wild Card entries will then compete in the final 15-lap race and for the opportunity to go on to the next D3eSports Cup championship series coming up later this year.

Race Director of the D3eSports Cup, Ian Dawson, will have the final call on the Wild Card spots after observing all 16 entrants over the past four weeks of competition.
