About the World Series

Automotive racing traces its origins back to 1894 in Paris, France. Aiming to carry that legacy into the next century, the Gran Turismo World Series was established in 2018 as the “motorsport of the future”—an official championship created to discover the world’s greatest 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.

This championship brings together the top-ranked manufacturers from the Online Qualifiers, joined by Official Partners Toyota and Mazda, for a total of 12 competing teams. Each manufacturer will be represented by a trio of drivers—one from each of the Europe/Middle East/Africa, Americas, and Asia-Oceania Regions. They are selected based on their performance in the Online Qualifiers. At Round 3 – Los Angeles, the spotlight will be on the 12 drivers representing the Americas Region as they take to the track in the second event of the season.

In this championship, drivers compete as proud representatives of their home country or territory. A field of 12 elite competitors will battle for the title in four thrilling Live Events. Three of these spots are reserved for seeded drivers—the top three finishers from the 2024 Nations Cup—while the remaining places are filled by the highest-ranking drivers from each region in the Online Qualifiers.

RD.3 - LOS ANGELES DRIVERS

At the Live Events, presenters Jules Hardy, Tom Brooks, and Jimmy Broadbent will be on hand to guide you through every thrilling moment, bringing their energy and insight as the excitement and intensity of the races electrify the arena.

Limited-edition official merchandise will be available for purchase on-site, offering fans a chance to take home a piece of the action. We hope you’ll join us in person to experience some of the finest racing the world has to offer—up close and in person.
