The success and expectation around the GP Explorer is confirmed and its second edition will be sold out. The 60,000 tickets, sold at the single price of 48 euros, found takers in 30 minutes, explained the streamer Squeezie on his social networks this night. "Sorry to all those who could not get one, we added 20,000 compared to last year but we could not more under penalty that it becomes unmanageable on the spot ... " he explained.
Minutes after the box office opened at 20 p.m. during a Twitch live, more than 100,000 people were in line to buy tickets. The ticket office sold out at 20:30. Many tickets were quickly put online on resale platforms at prices two to three times higher.

On October 8, the first edition brought together 40,000 people in Le Mans and a million people simultaneously on the Twitch streaming platform - a record at the time. Concerts by Bigflo & Oli, Myd and Bianca Costa had animated the afternoon before the start of the race, won by the youtubeur Sylvain Levy (member of the duo Vilebrequin). The event marked a real turning point in the world of entertainment 2.0.
Gotoga, Seb la frite and Sofyan Boudouni back
The 24 participants of this new edition are already known: half of them have already participated in the first edition. This is particularly the case of Seb la frite, who will no longer be alongside Sofyan Boudouni as the first time, but with the streamer Maghla. Squeezie will be accompanied by Gotaga. The duo Mister V and Théo Juice will also be on the bill.
To have the right to drive these cars, the influencers had gone through several months of training last year - and some even had to pass their driving license. For this new edition, they will go through a qualifying phase in the morning, then access the race, divided into fifteen laps, in the afternoon.
