FORMAT

 

Stage One: Open Qualifiers (Online)

Competitors will attempt to set one of the ten fastest lap times through the in-game Rivals event, in a pre-selected car, and on a pre-selected track. Competitors can participate in an unlimited number of times within each qualifying window. The top ten competitors with the fastest lap times, from each of the two pre-selected car/track combinations, will move on to the Closed Qualifier (20 in total).

Qualifier 1: January 4 - 10; Track - Road Atlanta Full Circuit; Car - 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Qualifier 2: January 11 - 17; Track - Mazda Laguna Seca Full Circuit; Car - 2018 McLaren Senna

 

Stage Two: Closed Qualifier (Online)

The Top 20 competitors will be placed in one of two closed qualifier heats based on their lap times from the open qualifier. Each heat will consist of a number of races on pre-selected tracks with points being assigned to competitors based on the final results of each individual race. The four competitors with the most points from each heat will qualify for the Grand Finals (8 total).

 

Stage Three: Live Qualifiers (LAN)

Competitors will attempt to set the fastest lap time in a pre-selected car and on a pre-selected track. Competitors can participate in an unlimited number of races per day (as space allows). The competitor with the fastest lap time from each of the eight days of the Live Qualifiers, will qualify for the Grand Finals (8 in total).

 

Stage Four: Grand Finals (LAN)

16 Finalists (8 from the Closed Qualifier and 8 from the Live Qualifiers) will compete to determine the final results of the Forza Motorsport 7 WGN Championship. Competitors will be assigned to one of two Semifinal heats, based on their qualifying results. Each heat will race on several pre-selected tracks, with points assigned to competitors based on the final results of each individual race. The four competitors with the most points from each Semifinal heat (eight in total) will qualify for the Championship races, which will follow a similar race/points structure as the Semifinal heats.
