[IMPORTANT]

The ‘FIA Gran Turismo Championships' 2019 Series Nations Cup will be held over 4 Stages, with each Stage comprising of 10 Rounds, for a total of 40 Rounds. Accordingly, Stage 2 will consist of Rounds 11 to 20.

The ranking is based on an effective points system: at the end of each Stage, the final score will be tallied from the best 1/4 Rounds out of the total for that Stage (with half numbers rounded up).

For example, in Stage 2:
　・At the end of Rounds 11 to 12, the player's best 3 Rounds will be tallied for the final score.
　・At the end of Rounds 13 to 16, the player's best 4 Rounds will be tallied for the final score.
　・At the end of Rounds 17 to 20, the player's best 5 Rounds will be tallied for the final score.

From Stage 3 onward, as the total number of Rounds increases, the number of Rounds where effective points are being tallied from will also increase: at the end of the Series after 40 Rounds, the player's best 10 Rounds will be tallied towards their final score.

At the end of each stage, players will be selected for Star Player registration and considered for World Tour participation. Player selection for ‘World Tour 2019 - New York’ on 24-25 August will be decided based on the results of the Nations Cup Stage 2.

In addition, as in previous championships, 'Victory Bonuses' are planned to be distributed in-game according to the results of each Series (or Stage).

Please be aware that during the Stage there is a possibility that the Championship schedule and rules may be changed at any given time.
