GT panels + experiences GT​


Throughout the day, fans can dive into panels and workshops led by automotive photographers, builders, and car collectors as they explore the artistry of speed and design that defines both Gran Turismo and real-world car culture.


Catch every moment of the live Gran Turismo World Series races on a massive LED screen outside the Orpheum and experience the thrill of Gran Turismo in an all-new way.

Union x Gran Turismo​


Be among the first to see the Union × Gran Turismo collaboration — a new capsule collection that merges Union’s timeless streetwear design with Gran Turismo’s racing heritage. Fans will get an exclusive first look at this limited-edition apparel debuting at GTWS Los Angeles.



Gran Turismo World Series​


The action inside the Orpheum Theatre begins with an Invitational Race at 3:00pm when 12 creators and members of the media get their chance to show off their Gran Turismo 7 skills on stage in front of the live audience. That, of course, is just the warmup with the main events being the Manufacturers Cup at 4:00pm PT and the Nations Cup at 7:00pm PT.


The Manufacturers Cup will see 12 drivers from North, Central and South America battling on behalf of their favorite automaker. So far Subaru have dominated proceedings with Japanese star Takuma Miyazono taking victory in Round 1 in London followed by Frenchman Kylian Drumont at Berlin’s second round. Veteran GT World Series racer Daniel Solis will hope to follow his teammates onto the top step of the podium on home soil. The rest of the field will hope to stop Team Subaru’s run.


The Nations Cup sees the same field of 12 elite racers competing at each Round in 2025. So far Spaniard Jose Serrano has been unstoppable with two wins. But Italian Valerio Gallo is snapping at his heels after consecutive podiums. Serrano’s fellow Spaniard, Pol Urra, sits third in the standings.
