The main lines are materializing for the GP Explorer 2. The car race hosted by France’s most famous youtuber and streamer, Squeezie, will take place at the Le Mans circuit on September 9.
If most of the participants had already been revealed, the suspense was created around the co-pilot of the youtuber Billy. The latter was originally going to participate with his father, but for reasons of age and health this could not materialize.
Thus, Billy has just announced, in a YouTube video posted this Monday night, the 24th, that the French rapper Kekra will join his team to carry out this race that has already been announced as a new event on French Twitch.
“Knowing that he is an artist, and that it is difficult to reveal so much of himself at an event like this, I did not expect him to accept at all,” Billy explains in his video. Indeed, the rapper has the particularity of never showing his face, always hidden during his public appearances.

Squeezie, Gotaga, Kaatsup, LeBouseuh, Amixem, Delpielo and Manon Lanza, Mister V, Horty Underscore, Baghera Jones, Seb la Frite or Maghla, to name a few, will also be present among the 24 celebrities.
And a few days ago two other names were added to this already long list: the rappers SCH and Soso Manness. Formula 1 drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon will also be present to train two teams.
In September 2022, the first edition of GP Explorer had reached the highest concurrent audience peak in French streaming, on the Twitch platform. In fact, it had passed the bar of one million viewers live. This first edition, which was also held at the Bugatti circuit, welcomed 22 drivers.
The success is such that the 60,000 tickets for the 2023 edition sold out in just 30 minutes, from the box office opening. An enthusiasm that has not escaped malicious resellers, which led the organization to establish an exclusive and official reselling site to protect buyers.
