The Time Attack will feature Sonoma Raceway and Circuit of the Americas – drivers must log laps at both circuits via the official TGRNA GR Cup eSports League Time Attack in order to qualify.

On each race day, a 30-minute practice session will allow drivers to familiarize themselves with the track and fine-tune their strategies ahead of the qualifying session. Following practice, drivers will engage in a 15-minute official qualifying session to set the grid positions for the upcoming race.
Each race is a duration of 60 minutes, with drivers facing off in an opportunity to put their skills and endurance to the test as they battle for victory. Broadcast live on the GT World YouTube channel and SRO Motorsports Twitch, fans can tune in and witness every thrilling moment as it unfolds.
