On this episode of the Traxion.GG Podcast, we’re at the World Finals of the Gran Turismo World Series from Monaco. This is the title-deciding esports event for the world’s quickest Gran Turismo drivers. 

The weekend incorporated the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing GT Cup Grand Final, the Manufacturers Cup final and the Nations Cup final – the one that effectively determines the overall world champion driver. 

It also included the launch of a brand new Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo car, an opportunity to speak to the game’s producer Kazunori Yamauchi and meet the Gran Turismo community.

We discuss PSVR 2, the Vision Gran Turismo projects, the current state of Gran Turismo 7 online, the drivers’ performances, the FIA relationship and what makes them want to compete in the World Series.
