2018 FIA GT Championship World Final

A very brief lull in the proceedings at the 2018 FIA-Certified GT Sport World Finals allowed GTPlanet to catch up with series founder Kazunori Yamauchi.

Even after a week, I have to convince myself that it all really did happen.

The numbers are in for the FIA-certified GT Championship World Finals in Monaco, where Team Lexus took victory in the Manufacturers Cup and Igor Fraga was crowned the first Nations Cup World Champion in dramatic fashion.

After all the confetti had dropped at the FIA-certified GT Championship Nations Cup World Final on Sunday night, we had a chance to speak with all the podium finishers about their races and their time in Monaco.

After months of comeptition, GT Sport’s flagship FIA-Certified online series came down to four races.

It’s all been building to this. After Friday’s semi-finals and repechage races, and Saturday’s hugely entertaining Manufacturer Series final, the top 16 GT Sport drivers are racing for the title of Nations Cup champion.

Hopefully you watched the FIA-certified GT Championship’s Manufacturer Series live stream yesterday: it was a real treat, with the podium decided in the final seconds of a one-hour race around the Nurburgring 24h circuit.

We expected a close race in today’s Manufacturer Series final for the GT Sport FIA Championship in Monaco. But we didn’t foresee the nail-biter that came to pass in one of the wildest live esport events yet.

When we say the drivers look to this from the Nations Cup, that’s only partially true. While you’ll find plenty of familiar names below, there are also a fair amount of drivers here in the south of France for only the Manufacturer Series.

Today is day two of the first GT Sport World Final. We’ve seen the Nations Cup already, where 30 initial drivers has become 16 ahead of Sunday’s finals. But before that, it’s time for something a little different: the Manufacturer Series.

Five-time F1 world champion, and Gran Turismo “Maestro” Lewis Hamilton welcomed the 30 drivers to the stage, but with all the preparations done and dusted it was time to get down to action in Monaco on Friday.

We’re only a day away from the FIA-certified Gran Turismo Championship World Finals beginning, and the predictions are rolling in.

We’re on the ground in Monaco ahead of this weekend’s inaugural Gran Turismo Sport FIA-Certified World Final. Yesterday we looked back at the three regional Nations Cup winners, and today we’re spotlighting the folks that could give them an upset here in Southern France.

As we’re building up to the big event in Monaco later this week, there may be a little surprise on the cards. Polyphony Digital has released the schedule for the FIA-Certified GT Sport Championship World Final, and it looks like there’s a new track in the works.

It’s nearly crunch time. GT Sport’s flagship feature, the FIA-Certified Online Championship, will reach its climax later this week in Monaco.
