Gran Turismo has officially unveiled the Gran Turismo World Series 2025 Manufacturers Cup: Exhibition 3, marking the return of competitive Manufacturers racing after a while. The series kicks off on Wednesday, November 12, and runs through Saturday, November 29, with six intense rounds of action.
Entry Slots
• GT1 League (A and A+ rated drivers): 3 slots per event at 5:00 PM, 7:00 PM, and 9:00 PM GMT. Exact times vary by region.
• GT2 and GT3 Leagues: 10 slots every hour from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM GMT, offering much more flexibility.
Scoring System
Overall rankings are based on an effective points system. After Round 6, only your five best results will contribute to your total score. You may participate in multiple slots per round, but only the points from your final race in that round will count.
In the case of a tie, rankings will be decided as follows. The competitor with the highest combined points across all rounds will be placed higher. If the tie remains, the driver with the highest single-round score will take the lead. Should the tie persist, the competitor with the higher Driver Rating (DR) will rank above. If still tied, the one with the higher Sportsmanship Rating (SR) will be prioritized. Finally, if every factor is identical, the player who started playing Gran Turismo 7 earlier, based on their PlayStation Network record, will be placed higher.
