The 2017 FIA Formula One Esports Series was the inaugural season of the Formula One Esports Series. It started on September 4, 2017, and ended on November 25, 2017. It was held on Formula One's official 2017 game.

Qualification

Qualification was held over two stages. These stages were:

  • Stage One: Players were required to score a podium finish in a Force India VJM10 at Monza, starting in 6th position with 5 laps remaining. It is a points based event, with players awarded a score based on skill, speed and difficulty/assist settings. Players also earned points to their score by driving cleanly. This challenge was available from 4–12 September 2017.
  • Stage Two: Players were required to win a race in a Red Bull RB13 at Suzuka, starting in 5th position with 5 laps remaining. Players scored points in the same manner as in the first stage. This challenge was available from 18 to 26 September 2017.

A total of 63,827 drivers took part in the qualifying stages, with 40 progressing to the semi-finals. 10 came from each of the platforms (Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC), 9 came from F1 affiliated leagues, and 1 was a specially-selected wildcard.[1]
