Comment from Kazunori Yamauchi, Producer of the Gran Turismo series
PlayStation.BlogIn 2024, we plan to increase the number of live events and introduce a new race format. Also, by confirming the players for the 2024 series at an early stage, we believe that the top drivers in the Gran Turismo World Series will be more accessible than ever before, and that their battles throughout the season will be even more fascinating. This year's live event will be held in a location we have never visited before. We are looking forward to the same great atmosphere that we experienced in Barcelona last year, and of course, we are expecting even better racing from the top drivers in the Gran Turismo World Series. We are also looking forward to more great racing by the top drivers of the Gran Turismo World Series.
