The 2026 edition of the Gran Turismo World Series kicked off in front of a sold-out audience in Milan. New and returning competitors took part in the opener, where the fight to become the best Gran Turismo player begins.
Before the season began, viewers were introduced to the June 2026 update for Gran Turismo 7. This update included four World Endurance Championship (WEC) hypercars: the Porsche 963, the Ferrari 499P, the BMW M Hybrid V8, and the Peugeot 9X8. Additionally, it featured a 992.1-spec Porsche 911 Turbo Safety Car.
