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.

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. These regional drivers will come together to form 12 three-driver teams. At the World Finals, all 36 drivers will contend for the coveted title of Manufacturers Cup Champion.

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.

After fierce showdowns in London, Berlin, and Los Angeles, the drivers now set their sights on Fukuoka, where they will battle for the coveted Nations Cup title.
