Racing fans get ready as the 2022 Gran Turismo World Series will be making its return starting May 27 and May 28 for the first rounds of Online Season 1, as announced on the PlayStation Blog.

Known formerly as the FIA Gran Turismo Championships, the World Series will be seeing a return to live events this year, where the best racers from the first online season will be invited to compete in a three-day World Series Showdown in July against the best of the 2021 championships at the spectacular Red Bull Hangar-7 in Salzburg, Austria.

The World Series then continues online with Season 2, with the fastest racers invited to challenge the
established stars at the World Finals in November. After a two-year hiatus, the finals return to the
prestigious Sporting Monte Carlo, which hosted the 2018 and 2019 World Finals events.

In addition to the two in-person live events, fans can watch the top racers go head-to-head in a series of
three Nations Cup and three Manufacturer Cup broadcast World Series races. While the competitors will
compete online from their homes all over the world, the competition is no less fierce and the skills no less impressive.

Gran Turismo 7 is now available for the PS4 and PS5.
