Details have now been released regarding the ‘GR Supra GT Cup’, the first global One-Make Championship in Gran Turismo Sport.
This is part of the e-Motorsport activities that Toyota GAZOO Racing has started this year, involving one-make races using the GR Supra RZ. Going beyond the boundaries of the real and the virtual, the feedback and evaluations gained through this championship will be used to shape the future of the Supra product in the real world.
