Gran Turismo World Series 2026 Online Qualifiers Conclude, Finalizing the Twelve Manufacturers for the Manufacturers Cup
The final round of the Gran Turismo World Series 2026 Online Qualifiers for the Manufacturers Cup concluded on January 31, determining the twelve manufacturers that will advance to the World Series Rounds 1 through 3, as well as the season-ending World Finals, each to be contested as live events.
These twelve manufacturers, along with their representative drivers, earned qualification by finishing first in the GT1 League points rankings within their respective regions. Together, they form a tightly matched field that will carry the competitive weight of the world’s leading marques onto the global stage. From the Americas region, twelve drivers will line up on Saturday, March 28, for World Series Round 1 in Abu Dhabi.
Should a qualifying position become vacant due to a competitor’s withdrawal, the berth will be offered to the next highest-ranked driver from the Online Qualifiers standings. In certain circumstances, a replacement driver from the same manufacturer—but representing a different region—may be called upon to compete in a given round, ensuring that each brand’s presence remains intact across the championship.
