Unlike past editions, this year's grand finals sees an expanded competition format featuring platforms like Assetto Corsa, RaceRoom, and iRacing. Included still too is the tournament's signature Gran Turimso 7 title.


Unlike past editions, this year’s running sees e-racers compete across a challenging and expanded new competition format that features notable platforms like Assetto Corsa, RaceRoom, iRacing and Gran Turismo 7.

This revamped competition format also explains why 35% of this year’s semi-finalists are new and fresh-faced competitors to Toyota’s sim-racing championship series. Some of them are notable veterans too.
