[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 3 will consist of Rounds 21 to 30.

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).

■ Stage 3 example:
　・At the end of Rounds 21 to 24, the player's best 6 Rounds will be tallied for the final score.
　・At the end of Rounds 25 to 28, the player's best 7 Rounds will be tallied for the final score.
　・At the end of Rounds 29 to 30, the player's best 8 Rounds will be tallied for the final score.

From Stage 4 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 - Red Bull Hangar-7’ on 14-15 September will be decided based on the results of the Nations Cup - Stage 3.

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