How would it feel to compete against a real-life Formula 1 driver? Well, F1 Fantasy is giving players the chance to do just that in this weekend’s ‘Shanghai Showdown' mini-league.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Chinese Grand Prix, hometown hero Zhou Guanyu is creating his own F1 Fantasy team and giving players the chance to take him on in a first-of-its-kind league.

Not only is the one-race league a fantastic opportunity for players to battle an F1 driver, there are special prizes on offer – as well as bragging rights, naturally.

The league is open for entries now, with the top three finishers winning Kick Sauber merchandise signed by Zhou. A few randomly selected players will also get their hands on signed autograph cards, so make sure your team is entered into the league for a chance to win.
