SMP Esports launches preseason testing for RAF championships

12 September 2026

SMP Esports has opened preseason test servers for two Russian sim racing series: the RAF Championship in the BR03 Cup class and the RAF Trophy in the SMP TCR Russia class. Participants can now access the test environment to prepare for the upcoming seasons.

The SMP TCR Russia series will feature a newly developed Audi RS3 LMS with updated physics, developed with input from AG Team based in Kazan. The car will compete against both generations of the LADA Vesta TCR, including an earlier version with balanced physics for competitive parity.

In the BR03 Cup class, drivers may use both versions of the sports prototype with balanced physics, as well as a historical 2021-specification variant to add variety to the grid. Participants are encouraged to use the test period to familiarise themselves with the cars and provide feedback to the organisers. Full details on downloads, test formats, schedules and regulations are available in the official SMP Esports community channels on VKontakte and Telegram.
