From 15 October to 25 October, we will be hosting the Extra Stage of the ‘FIA Gran Turismo Championships’ 2020 Series. This is a Time Trial event where competitors will race for an additional chance to earn a spot in the Nations Cup Online Regional Finals.

Competitors who record times fast enough to meet the selection criteria for this Extra Stage will be able to progress to the Nations Cup Online Regional Finals, which are due to be held in November.

However, competitors who have already earned a place in the Online Regional Finals through Stages 1-3 of the Nations Cup 2020 Online Series will not be eligible for this selection. (A list of already qualified competitors will be published at a later date.)
