Weekly Race Series

Our Double-Double-Header Online Special Event and Time Trials over the past 2 weeks have been such a hit, we’ve decided to go back for more! As self-isolation continues, it’s more important than ever to find fun things to do and different ways of having social interaction.

Unprecedented times mean unprecedented measures. The world is now attempting to practice “self-isolation” — keeping away from other people in order to protect each other from infection.

Racing in the real world might be getting canceled left, right and center, but the virtual world carries on unabated.

Following a road car combo in BMW’s latest addition to GT Sport, the Weekly Race Series (WRS) is featuring back to back BMWs, with the Z4 GT3 at an Original Circuit.

If you’ve been enjoying the festivities over the last few days, it might be time to put the turkey sandwich down and pick the game controller up. We’re celebrating the return of Gran Turismo’s oldest real-world circuit, Laguna Seca, with some special events at the track.

Following a long hiatus, GTPlanet’s Weekly Race Series (WRS) will resume hosting Online Races, beginning this week. The races, using GT Sport, are modeled after our weekly time trial events, with multiple time slots to account for varying time zones of our members.

On Sunday, October 28, GTPlanet’s Weekly Race Series Online Events will host a special event on Fuji Speedway, featuring the Toyota Supra Racing Concept Gr. 3 and Toyota 86 Gr. 4.

GTPlanet’s longest running organized Time Trial series has transitioned to Gran Turismo Sport. Our latest event, “El Toro“, features the Red Bull Jr. at Nürburgring GP.

GTPlanet’s Weekly Race Series Time Trials are celebrating our 15 year anniversary! On this date in 2003, the first Weekly Race Series Time Trial was posted on the GTPlanet forums. We’re proud to carry on the tradition of those humble beginnings, as we feature weekly Time Trial Events for our registry members to participate in at their leisure.

GTPlanet’s longest running organized Time Trial series has transitioned to Gran Turismo Sport. Our latest event, “Tarmac Rally Time!“, features the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Gr.B Rally Car, in Courtesy Car form, at Kyoto Driving Park – Yamagiwa.

GTPlanet’s longest running organized Time Trial series has transitioned to Gran Turismo Sport. Titled A Dragon’s Tale (Which One is Larini?), the first event features the Lexus RC F Gr.4 Courtesy Car at Dragon Trail Seaside.

Earlier this year beginning in February, our team of Weekly Race Series racers developed a new event, known as the Triple Mix. The backbone of the series was the freedom in picking the car you wanted to tour around the events, and participants would have that option: the GT300 versions of the Impreza, IS350, and RX-7 would be available over the course of the championship.

Way back in February, our Weekly Race Series team proposed a new event, known as the Triple Mix. Instead of picking one car to run a series in, participants would get to drive all three of the available rides — the GT300 versions of the Impreza, IS350, and RX-7 — over the course of the championship. Unfortunately, network issues in Gran Turismo 6 sidelined the competition for half the year. The Triple Mix lives on though, and the first race will take place August 27.

Have you ever entered a racing series, only to lament your initial car selection? Sure, Car X looked so appealing during pre-season testing, but a few races in, you had eyes only for Car Y. It’s the classic green-grass scenario, really. The boys over at GTPlanet’s Weekly Race Series have solved the problem with Special Event XVI: why pick one of three cars, when you can just drive all of them instead?

Round Two! Well, rounds three and four, actually. Today will see the second half of the 2015-closing Special Event XV from the Weekly Race Series Online folks. The first two rounds took place yesterday, with the pack hunting at high speeds in a Ferrari GTO at Monza, and dancing a classic first-generation Miata through the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca.

The Weekly Race Series crew has put together a handful of casual races to close out 2015, with the first one starting in a matter of minutes. Earlier this month, the community was asked to vote on their favourite combos from WRS’ 100+ week past in GT6, with close tallies for all four of the final choices. Two races will be held today, while two more will take place tomorrow.

We’re heading into the final weeks of 2015, and today will see GTPlanet’s Weekly Race Series wrap up their final special event series of the year. Held at Fuji Speedway, this race looks likely to be an intense one, with extra points available for all places, and all accumulated ballasts over the season reset to zero.

The WRS and 3D3 are lining up one more Online Special Event to close out 2015. While the GT500 Series will be running its final race this coming Sunday, four races taking part on the 27th and 28th will look back at some of the most popular car and track combinations the WRS have run over the course of GT6’s life.

The final WRS championship of 2015 is at its penultimate juncture, with the fourth of five races starting today. Above, you can catch the live stream (care of staff member and racer @PASM), kicking off at 20:00 GMT/UTC.
