From 18 February to 15 March, we will be hosting the Nations Cup Pre-Season of the ‘FIA Gran Turismo Championships’ 2020 Series. The ranking is based on an effective points system: the final score will be tallied from the best 3 Rounds out of the total 8 Rounds.
Please note there will be no ‘Top 16 Superstars’ Rounds in the 2020 Series Pre-Season.
[IMPORTANT]
From the 2020 Series Pre-Season, the calculation method for the Global Manufacturer Ranking will change. For further details please refer to the 'Global Manufacturer Ranking Points Calculation Changes' article. Also, the manufacturer affiliation contracts selected for the Pre-Season will be dissolved at the end of the stage and players will have the option to make new driver contracts for the next championship.
[Race schedule]
Starting time for each race, every day: 20:00, 21:20, 22:40, 00:00, 01:20 NZDT (5 races in total.)
