- Opening of the ‘FIA Gran Turismo Championships' 2019 Series Nations Cup Stage 1
- 20/03/2019
From 23 March to 27 April 2019, we will be hosting the Nations Cup's Stage 1 of the 'FIA Gran Turismo Championships' 2019 Series.
[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 1 will consist of Round 1 to 10.
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 1:
・At the end of Round 4, the player's best Round will be tallied for the final score.
・At the end of Round 8, the player's best 2 Rounds will be tallied for the final score.
・At the end of Round 10, the player's best 3 Rounds will be tallied for the final score.
From Stage 2 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 - Nürburgring’ on 22-23 June will be decided based on the results of the Nations Cup Stage 1.
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 see ‘FIA Certified Gran Turismo Championships 2019 Series Overview’ for further details on the points system and the Nations Cup.
