Last year, the calm and collected Mikail Hizal dominated the FIA Gran Turismo World Finals with incredible skill and speed, and the year before that, Igor Fraga clinched the championship in dramatic fashion with a comeback still talked about to this day. Ready to enter its third action-packed year, the FIA Gran Turismo Championships will start the much-anticipated 2020 season Down Under, in Sydney, Australia.

The inaugural World Tour live event of the 2020 season will be held on February 15 and 16 at Big Top Sydney, located in the retro amusement park, Luna Park Sydney.

Fifty of the best drivers from 18 countries, many from last season's World Finals, will be returning to compete. As with previous World Tour events, there will two separate series: a Nations Cup with individual competitors, and a Manufacturer Series, where teams of three representing different car makers will battle it out. Former champions Igor Fraga and Mikail Hizal will not be among the competitors for this first event, meaning that anyone can win and lay the foundations for a successful 2020 season.
