But thereâs not even a cup involved
Why is this only once a year?
Same for the Outland cup. In fact, I donât even think the Outland cup shows on the calendar yet-- so itâll me MORE than a year!
I understand why things like Halloween or Winter Veil are once a year. Itâs literally a yearly, seasonal event.
This races should be much more frequent. They donât have to be every month, but once a year is far too limited.
Quarterly?

Are there going to be no vendors in Dornogal?
It wouldnât surprise me at all if this was directly cut and pasted from last years version, in which case probably not.
On the one hand, it makes sense that since these races originated on the Dragon Isles, this stuff would all be based in Valdrakken.
But on the other hand, these dragons did come over to Khaz Algar to set up more races for us, so itâd make just as much sense for them to bring the vendors over as wellâŚ
Same with the Davis Cup and the Ryder Cup. They only come once a year as well.
And the Americaâs Cup is only once every four years.

This would be fun to play again, if servers were up. 
lol please donât compare rl sports events with digital ones.
Youâre describing humans playing sports, that have to travel to actual, physical destinations, often thousands of miles apart. There are so many real world/ real life factors that go in to this, itâs not even worth my time to list them all. If youâre making this argument, youâre not being serious.
For the Dragon races ⌠we just ⌠log in. Absolutely NONE of those factors matter.
There is no reason for these to be yearly and not, as I suggested, something more reasonable like quarterly. Honestly, if you put them mid-month to could be part of an âalways something to doâ when considering things like the Darkmoon Fair.
There is no reason for these to be yearly.
On that note, Iâm not sure if these race events are even on a âscheduleâ. They seem like something that Blizz just throws in whenever they feel like the game needs an extra event, especially as theyâre likely to keep adding more for other expansions that donât have them yet.
As I said, the fact the Outland Cup isnât even on the calendar seems to reinforce your point.
Like⌠Iâm trying to make a point about how absurd it is that these are yearly, when itâs been MORE than year for the Kalimdor/EK races, and it will be MORE than a year since Outland ⌠and itâs not even scheduled yet!
There is no reason for this.
Make them quarterly.
And holidays only come once a year, too.
I never quite understood why people donât get the fact that these are modeled after real life events and that itâs also in our own best interest and game design to spread them out across a year. Otherwise, people stop caring about them and get tired of them, etc.
All of that aside⌠I shall once again attempt these, laugh at my utter failure and have fun doing it.

Why drop this during a patch. Wouldnât it be smarter to release it after the content dries up
I always used the smallest mount I had to do these races I just find it a lot easier that way.
Hope there are new things to collect.
Iâm welcom driving in this race.
I will say, with how infrequently these are scheduled, I do somewhat regret that the only one Iâve participated in so far has been the Northrend one. My takeaway is that I should definitely not sleep on these things when theyâre available because who knows when theyâll be coming back. 
Anything new or different? Or can I skip it?
I understand that however one thing that adds more importance to these cup events is the fact that they do NOT appear continually throughout the year.
