From 2028 onward, only the official Halforia series races will count toward progression.
22. Are the races shown in the dashboard more likely to become part of the official series?

Participation, community momentum, city engagement, and overall ecosystem relevance throughout the Founders Season will help determine which races reach the final selection phase.
The official 9 races will be revealed on January 1st, 2028.
24. How can I support my favorite race or city?

The next cities are not simply chosen — they are built.
