Gran Turismo World Series
The action at the Orpheum Theater starts at 3 p.m. with an invitational race, during which 12 creators and media representatives have the chance to present their Gran Turismo 7 ability to perform on stage in front of a live audience. This is, of course, just a warm-up, with the main events being the Manufacturers’ Cup at 4:00 PM PT and the Nations Cup at 7:00 PM PT.
In the Producers Cup, 12 drivers from North, Central and South America will fight on behalf of their favorite car manufacturer. Subaru has dominated the competition so far, with Japanese star Takuma Miyazona winning the first round in London, followed by Frenchman Kylian Drumont in the second round in Berlin. GT World Series veteran Daniel Solis will be hoping to follow his teammates to the top step of the podium on home soil. The rest of the field will hope to stop Team Subaru’s escape.
In the 2025 Nations Cup, the same group of 12 elite players will compete in each round. Spaniard Jose Serrano is unstoppable so far with two wins. But Italian Valerio Gallo is warm on his heels with yet another podium finish. Serrano’s Spaniard Pol Urra is third in the table.
