MANUFACTURERS CUP
The Manufacturers Cup dazzles with an array of stunning cars in Gran Turismo, spotlighting a thrilling team competition. The top 12 car makers from the online Qualifiers Series, including official partners Toyota, Genesis, and Mazda, are proudly represented. In Montréal, team members from the Americas Region will take to the track. This excitement continues at Round 2 in Prague on August 10, where EMEA drivers will compete, and again on September 28 for Round 3 in Tokyo with the Asia-Oceania drivers. Finally, all three drivers from each manufacturer will unite to race as a team at the World Finals.
With World Championship points at stake, the Americas Region drivers will be keen to give their team the best possible start to 2024.
The results of the 2023 World Finals shocked everyone when the dark horse, Team Nissan, emerged victorious. The consistently strong Team Mercedes-AMG claimed 2nd place, with Team Genesis securing 3rd.
The stage is set for another wild finish in Montréal.
NATIONS CUP
The 2024 edition of the Nations Cup introduces an exciting new format: 12 drivers selected from the online Qualifiers Series will compete in all three Gran Turismo World Series rounds, culminating in the World Finals.
The Nations Cup is an individual contest with the drivers representing their home country or territory.
In 2023, the Nations Cup was a thrilling team event, with Team Spain achieving a wildly popular victory at the World Finals in Barcelona. Two key members of that victorious team, Jose Serrano and Coque López, are set to return to action in Montréal, eager to replicate their 2023 success. However, they will face fierce competition from challengers representing Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, France, the USA, Brazil, and Chile, all determined to end Spain’s dominance in this prestigious competition.
