Gran Turismo World Series 2024 World Finals - Amsterdam - Race Structure

Manufacturers Cup

7 December at 6:00pm (GMT)

The Manufacturers Cup pits the 12 highest-ranked manufacturers against each other, including those from our official partners Toyota, Genesis, and Mazda.

In Rounds 1-3, each manufacturer was represented by the top driver from the hosting Region of each round. For the World Finals, the three drivers from each manufacturer will be united and compete together as a team to secure this year's championship.

Drivers to Watch

Kanata Kawakami: A veteran who won the Manufacturers Cup title in its first year, Kanata went through a bit of a slump but bounced back with a pole-to-win finish in Round 3! He will lead the team in place of ace driver Igor Fraga, who is unable to compete.

Benjámin Hencsei: This experienced Hungarian driver achieved a second-place finish in difficult wet conditions in Round 2. With a steady car and a strong driver lineup, the team has exciting potential.

Takuma Miyazono: The Subaru Meister, also known as "Mr. Subaru." In Round 3, he led the Japanese manufacturer to a second-place finish and ended their poor start to the season. With arguably the strongest driver lineup, Subaru will be looking to combine their individual skills at the finals.

Antonio Santos: Arriving at the finals with zero points, Chevrolet will be looking to their young star driver who did so well in the Online Qualifiers. The team will be hoping that the American V8 roars as they aim for the top!
