GET READY TO RACE WITH THE LOGITECH G CHALLENGE
McLaren and Logitech G announce European qualifying events

McLaren Shadow Project and Logitech G are excited to announce the Logitech G Challenge in Europe with online qualifying sessions across the region.

Between the end of September and early October, Logitech G will host three qualifying rounds open to all racers and esports enthusiasts across Europe*.

The competition will take place on multiple platforms using Project Cars 2, and offers the opportunity to win prizes at each stage of the competition including Logitech G Ready to Race bundles or a place in the Logitech G Challenge Final hosted at Paris Games week (26th – 28th October 2018).

If you become the G Challenge Champion you win entry into the McLaren Shadow Project semi-finals, which will be hosted at the McLaren Technology Centre in November.

The qualifying rounds will be in time trial format with the leaderboard structured for the top 20 racers. The rounds will be played over three circuits: the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Silverstone, and Hockenheimring.

I' going to start practicing this from now.

Not a word about:

tires, day time, tuning, etc... What should I expect in this sense?

Nope , they don't even mentioned which car will be used in each event.

I suppose that they will be activated in the online events with open setup and Tyre selection.

So we will have to wait until the events activate to know car, climate, time of day and everything except the track.
 
VPN could take care of the location situation.
That would likely only enable you to take part in the events but if it's like the Renault event recently, then you will need to provide real address details meaning your time will be ineligible.

EDIT : Reading through the Ts & Cs, they can request a copy of your driving license and/or passport for proof of identity/address.
