About the World Series
The history of automotive racing began in 1894 in Paris, France. Looking to sustain it for another 100 years, the Gran Turismo World Series began in 2018 as the 'motorsport of the future', an official tournament to find the world’s best Gran Turismo driver.
The 2025 World Series is planned to be held across four Live Events where the best drivers selected from the Online Qualifiers along with seeded drivers will compete for the championship title. The Series visits three of the world’s most famous cities - starting with London, England in June, going on to Berlin, Germany in September, and Los Angeles, United States in November - before reaching the grand finale, the 'World Finals' in Fukuoka, Japan where the 2025 champions will be decided.
