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

Manufacturers Cup

December 7 at 7:00 a.m. (PST)

The Manufacturers Cup brings together the top 12 ranked manufacturers in a thrilling showdown, featuring official partners Toyota, Genesis, and Mazda among the elite competitors. In Rounds 1 through 3, each manufacturer was represented by the leading driver from the hosting region for that round. For the World Finals, however, the three drivers from each manufacturer will unite, racing together as a team in pursuit of this year’s championship title.

Drivers to Watch

Kanata Kawakami: A veteran who won the Manufacturers Cup title in its first year, Kanata went through 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 2nd-place finish in difficult wet conditions in Round 2. With a steady car and a strong driver lineup, the team has plenty of potential to take it all this year.

Takuma Miyazono: The Subaru Meister, also known as "Mr. Subaru," led the Japanese manufacturer to a 2nd-place finish in Round 3. With arguably the strongest driver lineup, Subaru will be looking to combine each of their skills at the finals.

Antonio Santos: Arriving at the finals with zero points, Chevrolet will be looking to their young star Antonio, who performed so admirably in the Online Qualifiers. The team will be hoping that the American V-8 will be roaring in the winner's circle!

In Q2, teams will aim to set a fast lap during the allotted time, and the fastest six teams will advance to Q3. The starting positions for the bottom three finishers are determined by the result of this session.
In Q3, teams will compete in a one-lap qualifier. The grid positions for the remaining six teams are determined by the result of this session.
