Nations Cup

The Nations Cup will be contested by drivers selected from the 2021 World Finals and from the 2022 Online Series - Season 1.

A general qualifier for the Nations Cup will be held to determine grid positions for each Regional Finals and the order of priority of the Regions.

After the qualifiers, there will be 3 Regional Finals (Europe/Middle East/Africa, Americas, and Asia-Oceania.)

The top three drivers from each Regional Finals will advance to the Grand Final, and drivers in 4th to 7th place will advance to the Repechage.

The top three drivers from the Repechage will also advance to the Grand Final.

The results of the Grand Final will be the final result of the Showdown.

The highest-ranked drivers of the Showdown will be awarded World Series Points; those points will be added to their starting score in the 2022 World Finals event.
