Manufacturers Cup

[Live Broadcast Schedule]
Friday, 11 August 19:00~ (Local Time)

A total of 12 manufacturer teams will be competing in the Showdown, made up of our official GTWS partners Toyota, Genesis, and Mazda as well as the top ranked manufacturers from the Online Series held from June to July.

Each manufacturer will be represented by a team of 3 drivers. These drivers have been selected from the top-ranking players in each of the GTWS Manufacturers Cup regions.

In the Global Points Rankings, legendary British manufacturer McLaren took the top spot, with 2022 World Final champion Toyota taking second. Nissan and the eternal powerhouse Subaru also ranked highly. With a strong showing across the board online it’s impossible to say who will take the crown at the 2023 Showdown.

Nations Cup

Saturday, 12 August 19:00~ (Local Time)

In the Nations Cup Showdown, drivers will compete on behalf of their home countries. 12 countries have been selected from regional points rankings in the online series held from May to June.

New for the GTWS 2023, the Nations Cup will be held as a team event. Teams representing each country will be made up of the top 3 ranking players from that country.

2022 Showdown winner Kylian Drumont will be representing France alongside veteran Baptiste Beauvoir and series mainstay Thomas Labouteley. 2022 World Final champion Coque Lopez will represent Spain alongside Jose Serrano and a promising rookie driver. All of the top-ranking drivers will be competing for national pride in this new style of event. Be sure not to miss the first ever Nations Cup team race.
