The Road to V8PRO: How to Qualify for the 2025 Series

The path to the 2025 Logitech G V8PRO Invitational Series has been set, and drivers now have the opportunity to earn their spot on the grid. With 21 seats already secured, there are still 24 spots up for grabs through a rigorous Pre-Qualifying and Qualifying process. Here’s everything you need to know to get on The Road to V8PRO.


The Grid So Far

The 2025 Logitech G V8PRO Invitational grid will feature 45 of the best sim racing drivers, and 21 have already locked in their seats:

The top 20 drivers from the 2024 standings join Ryan Wood, who earned his invitation by winning the Codriver Clash at Bathurst.

That leaves 24 seats open for new challengers, and the journey to claim one of those spots begins with Pre-Qualifying.


How to get involved

Step 1: Pre-Qualifying

Pre-Qualifying is open to anyone who wishes to register, offering an equal opportunity for all sim racers to prove their pace. Participation is free, and registration is now open.

Format:

  • Pre-Qualifying consists of 3 nights of time trials held across two iconic tracks: Barber Motorsports Park and Zolder. 
  • Session will be held accross the 21st / 22nd and 23rd of January 2025
  • Drivers will set their fastest lap times over the 3 nights at each track.
  • Final standings for Pre-Qualifying will be based on the drivers’ fastest times from both tracks combined.

Objective:

The Top 45 drivers from Pre-Qualifying will advance to the next stage: the Qualifying Series.

Step 2: Qualifying Series

The Qualifying Series will feature the top 45 drivers from Pre-Qualifying and determine who earns the remaining spots for the 2025 season.

Format:

The Qualifying Series consists of 4 rounds across challenging international circuits:

Round 1 - Mosport (Feb 5th, 2025)
Round 2 - Fuji (No Chicane Layout) (Feb 12th, 2025)
Round 3 - Hockenheim (Feb 19th, 2025)
Round 4 - Winton (Feb 26th, 2025)

New for 2025: A new addition this year is the Round Winner’s Exemption. The winner of each round will automatically secure eligibility for an invitation to the V8PRO Series grid. These drivers will no longer need to complete the remaining races in the Qualifying Series and are exempt from points classification.

Objective:

The Top 20 drivers in points at the conclusion of the 4-round Qualifying Series will earn eligibility for invitation to the 2025 Logitech G V8PRO Invitational Series.

Step 3: The Final Grid

The 45-car grid for the 2025 Logitech G V8PRO Invitational Series will consist of:

  • 21 drivers who have already qualified from the 2024 season.
  • 4 drivers who win individual rounds in the Qualifying Series.
  • 20 drivers who finish in the top 20 of the Qualifying Series points standings.

Note:  Unlike Pre-Qualifying, participation in the Qualifying Series requires a $40 entry fee. Drivers who do not qualify will forfeit the fee.
