Each event lasts three days and includes four rounds of racing, with one round on the first and third days and two rounds on the second day. Each round consists of a qualifying session and then the race. Each race is 50% of the length of the real-world F1 race at each circuit.

The virtual races portray circuits included in the conventional F1 season, such as Albert Park Circuit in Australia, Silverstone, the Circuit of The Americas, Interlagos in Brazil, and Shanghai International Circuit.
