MOZA Racing has officially replaced Fanatec as the official partner of the Gran Turismo World Series starting with Round 2 on August 15. While the announcement marks a massive milestone for MOZA’s rapidly expanding ecosystem, it also raises the biggest question on every Gran Turismo 7 driver’s mind: Are native PlayStation-compatible MOZA wheelbases finally right around the corner? Here is what this historic partnership means for the future of sim racing.
MOZA Racing, a global leader in high-performance sim racing hardware, is proud to announce its official partnership with the Gran Turismo World Series, the premier international championship of the Gran Turismo franchise.
Beginning with Round 2 of the 2026 Gran Turismo World Series, premiering on August 15, MOZA Racing will join the championship as an Official Partner, with the MOZA brand featured throughout the official broadcast. This partnership marks another milestone in MOZA’s ongoing commitment to advancing competitive sim racing and delivering more immersive motorsport experiences to racers worldwide.
Driven by a passion for innovation and realism, MOZA Racing has rapidly established itself as one of the industry’s leading sim racing brands. Its comprehensive ecosystem includes direct drive wheel bases, steering wheels, pedals, dashboards, shifters, motion systems, and intelligent simulation technologies, designed to bring professional-level racing experiences from the track to the home.
At the heart of MOZA’s innovation is a team with deep roots in the automotive industry. Bringing together expertise in active suspension systems, motion control, and automotive engineering, MOZA’s core engineering team applies real-world vehicle development principles to simulation technology. By transferring advanced automotive technologies, including drive-by-wire concepts, precision sensing, and intelligent control algorithms, into the sim racing environment, MOZA aims to create a closer connection between virtual racing and the physical driving experience.
This automotive-inspired approach is reflected throughout MOZA’s product ecosystem. The company’s next-generation direct drive wheel bases incorporate high-density flat-wire motors, advanced force feedback algorithms, and high-resolution torque sensing technology designed to provide highly refined, detailed, and realistic steering feedback. Beyond traditional racing hardware, MOZA’s active pedal technology introduces dynamic force feedback directly through the pedals, enabling drivers to experience braking forces and vehicle behaviors inspired by real motorsport
Through its partnership with the Gran Turismo World Series, MOZA Racing aims to support one of the world’s most influential sim racing competitions while inspiring the next generation of virtual racers. The collaboration represents a shared vision of pushing the boundaries of technology, competition, and the global sim racing community.
“At MOZA Racing, our mission has always been to make professional-grade sim racing more accessible while continually pushing the boundaries of performance and immersion,” said CY GUAN, CEO of MOZA Racing. “Partnering with the Gran Turismo World Series is an exciting milestone for us. Gran Turismo has inspired generations of racing enthusiasts, and we are honored to contribute to a championship that represents the very best of virtual motorsport. Together, we look forward to creating new possibilities for racers around the world.”
“My first experience with MOZA was actually through their camera stabilisation gimbals. Gimbals and steering controllers both use the same type of technology in that they exercise very precise control over electric motors, so I had my eyes on MOZA’s developmental ability, technology, and reliability for a while now. The evolution of consumer-level force feedback steering that started from Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec is still ongoing, but with MOZA now joining us as a partner I’m excited to see the expanded possibilities to develop a steering wheel that is optimal in the eyes of ‘Gran Turismo’. Please look forward to the new products that will be released through MOZA,” said Kazunori Yamauchi, Producer of Gran Turismo. “The advancement of racing hardware plays an important role in bringing that experience closer to reality. We are pleased to welcome MOZA Racing as an official partner of the Gran Turismo World Series and look forward to exploring new possibilities together for the future of sim racing.”
Fans can watch Round 2 of the Gran Turismo World Series on August 15, where MOZA Racing will make its debut as an Official Partner during the live broadcast.
This partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter for MOZA Racing. As the company works toward introducing its first officially licensed PlayStation® racing products*, GTWS provides a natural platform to engage with one of the world’s largest and most passionate sim racing communities. While development remains underway, MOZA Racing looks forward to sharing more in the coming months as it continues expanding its ecosystem and delivering new experiences for Gran Turismo players worldwide.
This is only the beginning, with more exciting announcements to come.
