Each season Upland hosts a racing competition, which culminates with the Championship Circuit during Genesis Week (appx 2nd week of June). By participating in multiplayer races with MV Motors cars or karts, racers can earn points that will help them climb the leaderboards and win prizes like UPX, spark and more. Series S1 racecar owners can also win points towards entry into the coveted Championship Circuit.

Rules for Finals
The top 12 racers will be split into 2 heats of 6 and will try to qualify for the finals.
- Top 3 finishers from each heat will move on to the final with the fastest time being in the pole position and the starter for the race (same applies to qualifying heats, top 2 times from the leader board will be used as the heat starters in pole position).
- In the event someone errors out of the race in the heat races, players can try to rejoin, if unable to control their car on a rejoin, then players are given the place that they finish with the driverless car ( likely last in the heat).
- If a player errors out on the final race, then they are given the 6th place spot in the final, if more than one person errors out, then it will be based on the driverless car finishing time to determine who will get the higher place in the standings.
