World Tour

After two years of exclusively virtual competition, Gran Turismo’s showpiece World Tour live events could be returning this season.

Another major sporting event has fallen victim to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, this time in the world of esports. GT Sport’s second World Tour 2020 event, scheduled to take place at the Nurburgring in May on the weekend of the 24h race there, is off.

The measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 across Europe are stepping up a notch this week, impacting more of our favorite events. This time it’s the Nurburgring 24 Hour race that’s on the shelf, and it may have further consequences.

It’s easy to watch the latest Gran Turismo World Tour events and forget just how far the FIA-certified championship has come.

Japanese driver Takuma Miyazono has taken his first World Tour win with a victory in Sydney that could barely be any closer.

It’s the final day of the first GT Sport World Tour of the year in Sydney, and that can only mean one thing: the Nations Cup final.

The BMW team of Nicolas Rubilar, Coque Lopez, and Randall Haywood put on a dominating performance at the first Gran Turismo World Tour event of 2020.

It’s the first final of a new GT Sport FIA Certified Online Champion season, and we’re sure to be in for a good one. Barely three months has passed since that dramatic Toyota win in the World Final in Monaco, and now here we are starting all over again.

If you need any more convincing that live racing esports is gaining momentum, here’s something for you: public tickets for Gran Turismo’s opening World Tour event of 2020 — the series’ first major event in Australia — have nearly sold out.

It barely seems like three months since we were all in Monaco, watching Mikail Hizal lay waste to the best drivers in the world, but here we are.

It’s time to mark your calendars and start your virtual engines, the GT Sport World Tour is back!

Details have just slipped out regarding the first Gran Turismo World Tour of the 2020 FIA-Certified Online Championships. For the first time ever, the World Tour will visit Australia, with the event scheduled for February 14-16 in Sydney.

Yesterday’s stunning Nations Cup semi-final action is now in the history books, and it’s time to turn our attention to the Manufacturer Series for Saturday.

After nine months of competition, we’re now at the final stages. Events get underway Friday November 22 with the Nations Cup Semi-Finals.

Everything changed at the 2018 FIA GTC World Finals. We didn’t realize it at the time, but we were witnessing the birth of one of the great rivalries in racing esports.

So this is it. All the racing’s been done, all the preparations made, and this weekend the world’s best Gran Turismo Sport drivers will meet in Monaco. They’re all chasing one trophy, and a money-can’t-buy prize of lining up alongside Lewis Hamilton, Ott Tanak, Fernando Alonso, and other world champion drivers to receive their adulation in Paris in December.

Local driver Ryota Kokubun has come through a rather chaotic event in Tokyo to claim the final automatic spot at the World Final in Monaco.

After the excitement of yesterday’s Manufacturer Series, today it’s every man for himself at the GT Sport World Tour event in Tokyo.

Porsche has won the GT Sport World Tour Tokyo Manufacturer Series, in a thrilling final two laps.

Tokyo provides one last chance for the three-man manufacturer teams to claim silverware before the grand final in Monaco next month.
