Series 2 Playoff invites will be based on Series 2 points only, for the top 36.
Forza Racing World Championship invites will be based on total Season points.
New Series and Season leaderboards, with updates before Saturday Ghost races
Important note about gamertag changes
Drivers must register to participate - see the link in the “About” section at www.ForzaRC.com which takes you to https://forzarc.gfinity.net/ - be sure to read the FAQ and Terms & Conditions. Also download and read the Rules. Note that an Xbox One console is required.
The events in each round are sequential in progression: everyone sets a time in the Rivals Qualifier, from which the top drivers by Region are seeded into Saturday Ghost race lobbies, from which the top drivers move on to Sunday Heats race lobbies (with Collisions On), from which the top drivers move on to Wednesday Showdown race lobbies (which are broadcast live). A Booster Rivals event will open after the Wednesday Showdown.

I’ve been trying to click “register” for about 3 weeks, all it does is take me to a leaderboard. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have a Gfinity account, linked to XBL. I’m running these LBs. Nothing’s happening.
@ goose
Just after I posted this they got back to me. Apparently if you qual you show up afterward. It’s just weird because when you click register, there’s no “hey you’re in” message. so… crisis averted i suppose. lol
Check gfinity site first once the brackets are posted. Often times the host is a random Xbox generated gamertag. Usually a few hours if not Friday, you’ll know who the lobby host will be.
Make sure in you Xbox settings that you can allow game invites. There have been issues with this. Usually the host will send you a friend request before inviting you. Make sure you add them back.
Hard reset your Xbox a couple hours before you play. This should prevent issues of not being able to join.
The race will start 10 minutes after scheduled start time. You’ll get a game invite anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes before scheduled start time. So yes you could be waiting for up to 30 minutes.
Practice the other cars for Saturday. Trust me in that many people don’t practice much and it’s not uncommon to move on to Sunday by virtue of no mistakes and solid lap times. There are some folks who are error prone despite being wicked fast on rivals. I’ve moved on to top 24 by driving smooth, lost out because of minimal practice, lost out by a handful of points only because of minor errors, and even tied for the last top 24 spot but missed out due to tie breakers. Only once did I qualify via rivals top 24 in my division before weekend races. I’ve seen people qualify below top 50 in their division and still move on.
Also as FYI. If you are in my lobby, I will most likely not be playing this Saturday. Buying a new car instead:)
I have to miss this weekend of races too. Plans were made for this coming weekend moths ago, sucks being a adult with kids sometime lol. Time to practice for the booster for this round.
To race Saturday you have to be in the top 120 in North America. If you were listed in a bracket you would get an invite about 10 minutes before the race time from the lobby host(the GT of the host is usually posted on the brackets the day before the race. I don’t see your GT in the brackets either. Either you were not top 120 in NA or not registered through the FRC/ gfinity page.
Not sure what the top 1000 qualifies for, maybe points bonuses?
Top 1000 is the minimum to earn points and that’s about it. It’s either 50 or 100 points. Can’t recall. Top 120 in North America qualifying earns anywhere from the 900s to 800s in points by comparison. The points earned is relative to your overall placement in the world.
