Milan, a city renowned for its fashion, speed, and motorsport fervor, has become the epicenter of racing this weekend. The inaugural round of the Gran Turismo World Series 2026 opens inside the historic Teatro Lirico Giorgio Gaber, just steps from the iconic Duomo. The sold‑out event marks Gran Turismo’s first World Series appearance in Italy and launches a new global season where national pride, manufacturer heritage, and elite competition collide. Fans worldwide will be able to follow every moment live in Gran Turismo 7, on Gran Turismo Live, YouTube, and Twitch.
The opening round immediately delivers one of the season’s most compelling storylines. Former World Champion Valerio Gallo arrives in Milan under the weight of a fervent home crowd, eager to witness an Italian driver claim victory on native soil. Facing him is reigning Nations Cup champion Jose Serrano, the Spanish star who set the benchmark in 2025 and enters the new season as the driver everyone wants to beat. The competition is already tightening.
Japan’s Takuma Miyazono arrives in Milan straight from the Nürburgring 24H race, determined to transition quickly from a real cockpit to the SIM rig as he seeks to reclaim the title he won in 2020 and 2024. Spaniard Pol Urra continues his ascent after another standout season in 2025, while 18‑year‑old Samuel Moreno—another prodigious Spanish talent—makes his Gran Turismo World Series debut in Milan, ushering a fresh generation into the sport’s biggest stage.
Round One is more than an early points haul; it’s the first chance to seize momentum, establish a psychological edge, and shape the narrative that will define the championship race in the months ahead.
Across both championships, top drivers from Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas will battle it out before a roaring live crowd in two distinct contests. The Nations Cup turns national pride into fierce on‑track rivalry, while the Manufacturers Cup pits automotive heritage and engineering excellence against each other as the world’s most iconic brands vie for global supremacy.
Defending champion Team Porsche returns with driver Serrano, determined to hold onto its crown amid a hungry field. Team Mazda, led by Urra, is chasing redemption after a close finish last season, while Team Subaru welcomes British rookie Callum Moxon, injecting fresh talent into the fray.
The World Series experience spills beyond the broadcast inside Gran Turismo 7 itself. Viewers streaming the live action in‑game will unlock exclusive Stealth Model race cars, and by predicting winners or tackling the Lap Time Challenge at Autodromo Nazionale Monza, players can step into the shoes of the world’s best drivers. These interactive campaigns turn passive spectators into active participants, drawing fans deeper into the weekend’s drama.
Fans eager to track every storyline, driver, race and in‑game campaign over the weekend can visit the Gran Turismo World Series 2026 Milan Event Page and follow updates on Instagram and X. The Manufacturers Cup kicks off at 15:00 UTC, with the Nations Cup launching at 17:30 UTC.
When the neon glow fades from Milan’s streets this weekend, the excitement is far from over. The inaugural season of the Gran Turismo World Series 2026 is set to kick off right here, and every clash, championship battle, and unforgettable moment that unfolds will ultimately trace its roots back to that very first lap on Italian soil.
