Additional Qualifiers for the Grand Final

Given that the top three drivers had already qualified for the grand final in Season One, three additional spots were awarded to the next highest-ranking drivers from Season Two:

• James Rolfe
• Bastian F
• Ignacio Herrero

These drivers will now join the elite competitors in the grand final on December 21st, where the ultimate champion of the Moza Challenge 24 will be crowned.

The Path to Victory: Points System Overview

The Moza Challenge 24’s unique points system rewards not just race placement but also the context in which those results are achieved. The higher a driver’s SGP ranking, the more they benefit from the strength-of-field multiplier, which is added from Week 2 onwards. This system means that competing in stronger fields and larger grids can significantly boost a driver’s points tally, especially in the high-stakes environment of Week 4, where double points are available. This combination of strategic racing and adaptability to different race conditions made Season Two an intense and unpredictable competition.

As Season Two comes to a close, the focus shifts to the upcoming Season Three: El Classico. With new challenges and more opportunities to qualify for the grand final, now is the time to register and join the ranks of the best sim racers. Congratulations to all the winners and qualifiers—Season Three awaits!
