Designed to test the skills of the best drivers in the virtual racing community, these qualifiers promise thrilling competition, strategic gameplay, and a chance to secure your spot in the main event. What are the Shootout Qualifiers? The Shootout Qualifiers consist of two distinct events that begin with Leaderboard Competitions, culminating in exhilarating Multiplayer Races. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or a newcomer looking to make a name for yourself, there’s ample opportunity to participate. If you miss out on Shootout 1, don't worry! You have a second chance in Shootout 2, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to showcase their driving prowess. Key Points: Participation: You don’t need to own the content to enter the Shootout Qualifiers, making it accessible for all aspiring racers. Structure: After setting your best lap time in the Leaderboard Competition, the top 32 drivers will be invited to compete in a Multiplayer Session featuring two races. Content Ownership: To participate in the Multiplayer Races, however, you must own the relevant content. Shootout Details Shootout 1: Leaderboard Open: December 18 - January 8 Race Day: January 17 Shootout 2: Leaderboard Open: January 17 - January 30 Race Day: February 7 During both Shootouts, all racers will compete under a fixed setup for both the leaderboard and the multiplayer races, ensuring a level playing field.
