It’s that exciting time of the year again in the Gran Turismo universe as we head over to Amsterdam in the Netherlands for the grand finale of the Gran Turismo World Series 2024. Following three breathtaking rounds in Montreal, Prague, and Tokyo over the last few months, the point table is incredibly tight at the top. All eyes now turn to Theater Amsterdam, a familiar battleground from last year’s epic World Series Showdown.
Kicking off the weekend is the Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup on Friday, December 7, at 16:00 CET. This thrilling event serves as the perfect prelude to the World Finals and promises intense competition. Expect to see a fascinating mix of seasoned World Series pros alongside enthusiastic newcomers, all vying for a strong start to what promises to be a memorable racing weekend. With 24 racers globally competing in two heats before a grand showdown, the 2024 champion will emerge from this gripping contest.
In the Manufacturers Cup, Team Lexus is currently leading the pack. However, they face a bit of a setback as their star racer from Brazil, Igor Fraga, won’t be at the finals due to his Super GT commitments in Japan. Filling in for him is Harald Walsen from Chile, but with Team Porsche and Team BMW hot on their trail, anything can happen. Watch the excitement unfold live at 19:00 CET on Friday.
The spotlight shifts on Sunday, December 8, at 16:00 CET to the Nations Cup. The competition heats up as Frenchman Kylian Drumont, fresh off a perfect win in Tokyo, sits narrowly at the top. He’s closely followed by three former champions who are tied for second place: Jose Serrano from Spain, Japan’s Takuma Miyazono who took the win in Montreal, and Round 2 victor in Prague, Italy’s Valerio Gallo.
The entire spectacle will unfold in front of a live audience at Theater Amsterdam, and for those unable to make it in person, there’s no need to worry. You can catch all the action via live streams.
