GT Sport GR Supra GT Cup Returns for 2020

Gran Turismo Sport will once again have a global one-make esports race series as the GT Sport GR Supra GT Cup returns for 2020. Run by Toyota Gazoo Racing, the championship will run from April until the final round in November.

You can probably guess which car will be used for the championship. In 2019, the series ran for the first time, and the title was claimed by Mikail Hizal at a live final event held in Tokyo. Hizal then went on to become the 2019 GT Sport world champion just a month later. To take the GR Supra GT Cup championship, he had to overcome around 30,000 participating drivers, so expect a similar level of competition in 2020.

To enter, you’lll need to be 6 years old or older, and there will be seven race events before the live final alongside the FIA GT Championship. If the law in your country prohibits you from attending the live event according to your age etc, then that’s the law.

As the GT Sport GR Supra GT Cup returns for 2020, the current schedule is:

Start times:

• Asia: 18:00 (JST)

The 2019 event led to around 800,000 people buying the GR Supra within GT Sport, and 120,000 people took part in a post-event survey with a GT4 version of the car given out as a reward. That feedback will actually be used in the development of the real and virtual GR Supra in the future.
