Gran Turismo has finally announced the new Gran Turismo World Series 2025 - Exhibition 3, marking the return of competitive racing to GT after a long break. The series will run from Wednesday, October 16 to Saturday, November 2, featuring six rounds.
Entry Slots
• GT1 League (A and A+ rated drivers): 3 slots per event at 6:00 PM, 8:00 PM, and 10:00 PM GMT. Exact times vary by region.
• GT2 and GT3 Leagues: 10 slots every hour from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, offering much more flexibility.
Scoring System
Overall rankings are determined by an effective points system. After Round 6, your five best results will count toward your total. You may enter multiple slots per round, but only the points from your last race in that round will be counted. In the event of a tie, the ranking will be determined using the following criteria. First, the competitor with the highest total individual points across all rounds will be placed higher. If the tie remains, the driver with the highest individual points achieved in a single round will take the lead. If still tied, the competitor with the higher Driver Rating (DR) will be ranked above. Should the tie persist, the one with the higher Sportsmanship Rating (SR) will take priority. Finally, if all else is equal, the player who began playing Gran Turismo 7 earlier, according to their PlayStation Network account record, will be placed higher.
Rewards
In the GT1 League, players who finish in the Gold tier (Top 5%) will receive 5,000,000 Credits for their Regional ranking, 2,500,000 Credits for Domestic, and 1,250,000 Credits for both Local Main and Local Secondary rankings. Those in the Silver tier (Top 25%) will earn 3,000,000 Credits Regionally, 1,500,000 Credits Domestically, and 800,000 Credits for both Local Main and Local Secondary.
