• Update 2025-02-11 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Clarification on Event Requirements:

  • Mandatory Session: The host event must have at least one session (e.g., free practice or qualifying) held.

  • Cancellation Impact: If the entire race is cancelled without any session taking place, the event will not count, even if it was officially scheduled.

  • Partial Event Consideration: If some sessions are held but the full race is cancelled due to circumstances such as weather, the event will still count as having been hosted.
