The Gran Turismo 7 resumes their Gran Turismo World Series coming back from 8th November in Los Angeles. A new Fan Festival is ready to make its debut in the American city.
We are pleased to announce GT Fan Fest, a celebration of all things Gran Turismo, taking place on November 8 (local time). The festival will be held alongside the World Series 2025 Round 3 live event at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles—the heart of car culture.
Celebrating the GT World Series and L.A. Car Culture
The GT Fan Fest will mark the long-awaited return of the Gran Turismo Awards—a celebration of custom and tuned cars—alongside engaging on-stage panel discussions featuring leading voices in car culture and live performances by music artists. The event will also commemorate a major milestone: 100 million Gran Turismo games sold worldwide. Visitors will have the opportunity to test their driving skills on GT racing sleds and enjoy an early preview of the new tracks and cars from the upcoming Gran Turismo 7 Spec III update.
Please note that entry to the GT Fan Fest requires a ticket for the GT World Series 2025 Round 3 – Los Angeles. The festival will take place in the parking area adjacent to the Orpheum Theatre.
The return of the Gran Turismo Awards
The Gran Turismo Awards (GT Awards), a celebration of custom and tuned cars, returns after a seven-year hiatus. This year’s lineup will feature outstanding custom builds from owners across the Los Angeles area, with the winning car earning a place in a future release of Gran Turismo for players around the world to experience behind the wheel.
Alongside the GT Awards display, visitors can also enjoy captivating showcases from Gran Turismo’s partner automotive manufacturers, adding even more excitement to the event.
The GT Awards is a celebration of custom and tuned cars.
Past award-winning cars will also be on display at the venue (2015 Winner GReddy Fugu Z).
Submit Your Car for the GT Awards
Owners of custom builds from the Los Angeles area are invited to submit their vehicles for display and judging at the Gran Turismo Awards. We look forward to celebrating your craftsmanship and showcasing your remarkable creations as the GT Awards make their long-awaited return.
