The 2022 French V-Prix was a Formula Virtual World Championship race that was held at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours in France. The race was contested over 51 laps and was the fifth round of the 2021 Formula Virtual World Championship.

Report

Background

Franklin and Highwind both missed the strategy deadline for the race. As this was the first offence for Highwind they were excluded from qualifying, however as a Q1 team this meant they automatically failed to qualify. This was the third offence for Franklin, and as such the team were excluded from the weekend - with their drivers not taking part in any session.

Two new rules were introduced prior to this race. Firstly that only teams who were classified in the Constructors' Championship would receive prize money. The second was to introduce a 102% rule to qualifying, whereby in the main session cars must lap within 102% of the fastest time to ensure they qualify for the race. If a car does not lap within 102%, their participation in the race is at the discretion of the series CEO. If the team/driver has regularly made races this season on merit, they will be allowed to race, however if they have not previously done so, the team/driver will fail to qualify.

Practice

Qualifying

As Franklin were excluded from the weekend, only two cars would be knocked out in the pre-qualifying session instead of the usual four. However as Highwind missed the strategy deadline and are in pre-qualifying, they automatically failed to qualify, meaning all other teams in pre-qualifying - AMR, Arrow, North Star and Meteor - were guaranteed to get through to the main part of qualifying.

Meteor drivers Felix Beyer and Enzo Domenicalli failed to lap within 102% of the fastest time in qualifying set by Enrique Ruiz, a 1:08.296. Under the new rules, this meant they failed to qualify for the race and so the grid would feature just 24 cars instead of the usual 26.
