The history of automotive racing began in 1894 in Paris, France.
Our goal is to sustain this sport of man and machine into the next 100 years.
The Gran Turismo World Series is the motorsport of the future.
The Gran Turismo World Series is a championship to determine the world’s best Gran Turismo players. The competition consists of Online Qualifiers open to all players and a live event component known as the World Series, where top players who advance from the qualifiers travel around the world to compete. The 2026 World Series will begin in March in Abu Dhabi, marking the first time the event will be held in the Middle East. After Round 2 in Milan and Round 3, the Series champion will be determined at the World Finals in Tokyo in December.
Top players from around the world compete in an intense points battle across four rounds! Who will emerge as the champion this year?
