It’s three down, three to go in the Gran Turismo World Tour. Paris, the Nurburgring, and New York are in the history books, while Salzburg, Tokyo, and the grand final in Monaco are yet to come.
Heading in to Gran Turismo’s New York World Tour event, Cody Nikola Latkovski was the talk of the town. After an incredibly strong performance at the Nurburgring — where he finished second in both the Manufacturers Series and Nations Cup — everyone expected this would finally be Cody’s time to shine.
While we’re all still having fun with GT Sport’s new wet weather mechanic and playing around with some classic J-tin, there’s another game update on the way.
The Fraga/Hizal controversy was the main headline to come out of the Gran Turismo World Tour event in New York, but there were plenty of other great stories, too. The latest chapter in Coque Lopez’s 2019 season is one of them.

Brazil’s Igor Fraga has taken his second successive World Tour Nations Cup victory, after a highly controversial final race in New York. Fraga won the race by just over five seconds from Germany’s Mikail Hizal, but that margin was rendered much smaller thanks to a post-race penalty for the world champion.
UPDATE: The official Gran Turismo channel has released a video of Spa, with NYC GT Championship Manufacturer Series champ Cody Latkovski taking players on the tour:
