Please note that from the start of the Manufacturer Series' Pre-Season to the end of Stage 2, it will not be possible to change your manufacturer affiliation contract. The contract signed for the 2019 Exhibition Series will terminate at the beginning of the Pre-Season.

At the end of the Pre-Season, 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 Manufacturer Series Pre-Season.

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