Gran Turismo World Series 2024 – The story so far
Round 1
Usine-C, Montreal, Canada
Saturday, July 6
The Manufacturers Cup race saw a familiar face back on top of the podium when Igor Fraga drove a faultless race for Team Lexus at the Autódromo de Interlagos. The Brazilian headed Italy’s Valerio Gallo, driving for Team Honda, and Japan’s Team Porsche driver Takuma Sasaki.
In the Nations Cup Japanese driver Takuma Miyazono, 2020 Nations Cup Champion, showed exceptional speed and strategic guile at the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta circuit to take the win by less than a second from hard-charging Spaniards Jose Serrano and Coque López.
Round 2
Divadlo Hybernia, Prague, Czech Republic
Saturday, August 10
The Manufacturers Cup field was packed with some of the biggest names in competitive Gran Turismo racing. After a tense race, with weather conditions on Gran Turismo’s Dragon Trail Seaside circuit adding to the intensity, few would have predicted that a World Series rookie would take a highly impressive victory for Team Ferrari. Mohamed Buhdeima, a 20-year-old Briton, held off a strong challenge from another debutant, Team Porsche’s Benjamin Hencsei from Hungary, by just 0.092 seconds. France’s Thomas Labouteley, driving for BMW, completed the podium.
Team Porsche now heads to Tokyo with the series lead on 9 points. Montreal winners Team Lexus sits in second on 7 points, while Buhdeima’s excellent win in Prague takes Team Ferrari to third.
The Italian national anthem sounded a second time in Prague when popular 2021 Nations Cup Champion Valerio Gallo returned to form with an emotional victory in a truly spectacular Grand Final held at the Red Bull Ring. Gallo narrowly defeated France’s Kylian Drumont and an incredible drive saw Spain’s Coque López storm from the very back of the grid to claim 3rd place.
The results leave 2022 and 2023 champion López sitting atop the Nations Cup standings with 8 points. Valerio Gallo’s win moves him to second with 7 points, while Takuma Miyazono (who failed to score in Prague) is third on 6 points.
