Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to one of the most awesome fights ever dreamed of. Spanning six continents and over 20 race tracks, these rivalries are history-makers, featuring one of the most stacked cards ever booked. Put your seatbelt on tight.

The following headline events are good enough to stand on their own, so to book this is pretty much doing a disservice to any one of these cars. All roads begin at Rudskogen and lead to Spa-Francorchamps and Laguna Seca, but every match will have their own tests in other tracks that best suit the theme of each bout.

Round 1:
Potrero de los Funes
Round 2: Palmer
Round 3: Bilster Berg
Round 4: Ahvenisto
Round 5: Ledenon
Round 6: Autopolis
Round 7: Highlands
First off, we’ve got the Bugatti Chiron and Koenigsegg Regera, the two supercruisers who choose to take it easy, but also uber-quick. They’re also polar opposites, with the former being a strengthening of a titan of speed and the other a radically-envisioned speed machine. It would be quite a spectacle to see these two run, and run in anger.

Round 1: Bathurst
Round 2: Yas Marina
Round 3: Anglesey
Round 4: Sturup
Round 5: Kyalami
Round 6: Mont-Tremblant
Round 7: Road Atlanta
After that, we have the mega-evolved versions of already monstrous beasts. Yes, because apparently the Agera R and the Vulcan aren’t swole enough. So of course Christian von Koenigsegg decided to push the limits of the Agera platform, creating the One:1, and Aston Martin took one good look at the Vulcan and decided to give it the buffs its Vantage GTE cars always seem to get from the ACO’s BoP team, resulting in the Vulcan AMR Pro. And thus, a rivalry is born. (Also, I’m still waiting for Pagani to make a Huayra R, so the Vulcan will do.)

Round 1: Bathurst
Round 2: Sportsland SUGO
Round 3: Algarve
Round 4: Imola
Round 5:
Brands Hatch
Round 6: Road America
Round 7: Mosport
Next we’ve got the hyper-hybrids, the pseudo-GT1 cars without a home but their own, cars that follow no rulebook but are actually a bit slower because they’re all power and unfit tire compound. The McLaren P1 GTR and Ferrari FXX-K are sequels, too, ones that complement, if not supersede, their predecessors. (Also, the 918 does not have a race version, these are all we got. But whatever.) Time to settle this rivalry once and for all.

Round 1: Albert Park
Round 2: Suzuka
Round 3: Silverstone
Round 4: Nurburgring -GP
Round 5: Monza
Round 6: Interlagos
Round 7: Montreal
And finally, these two. This main event is better than whatever Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar would end up being come Wrestlemania, or even whatever will be the main event at New Japan’s Wrestle Kingdom, which is the superior show. People will be lining up the track for the battle between the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Mercedes-AMG Project ONE, two machines who say they can keep up—maybe even get ahead—of Formula One cars.

OK. Tell me: did I book this event right? Anything I need to change? To be honest, I think there should be a piece of Career mode that’s just these duels over a mini-calendar.
