Qualification

Qualification was held over two stages. These stages were:

  • Stage One: Players were required to score a podium finish in a Force India VJM10 at Monza, starting in 6th position with 5 laps remaining. It is a points based event, with players awarded a score based on skill, speed and difficulty/assist settings. Players also earned points to their score by driving cleanly. This challenge was available from 4–12 September 2017.
  • Stage Two: Players were required to win a race in a Red Bull RB13 at Suzuka, starting in 5th position with 5 laps remaining. Players scored points in the same manner as in the first stage. This challenge was available from 18–26 September 2017.

A total of 63,827 drivers took part in the qualifying stages, with 40 progressing to the Semi-Finals. 10 came from each of the platforms (Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC), 9 came from F1 affiliated leagues, and 1 was a specially-selected wildcard.[1]

Semi-Final

The Semi-Final was held at the Gfinity Arena in London, the United Kingdom on 10 October 2017. Drivers were split into 4 groups of 10, and would compete in two heat races - one at the Silverstone Circuit and the other at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace. The top 5 drivers on points in each heat after these two races would progress to the final.[2]

gollark: Have you heard of "pass"?
gollark: But it's not very useful advice when we knew for ages it was a file descriptor leak.
gollark: It was INDIRECTLY a file descriptor.
gollark: Or, well, I assumed the GC would deal with it, but it did not.
gollark: I accidentally forgot a `.close`. So I added that.
