If you were hoping to attend the ultimate, preliminary live event of the Gran Turismo World Series 2024 and haven't purchased your tickets yet, your time is up.
The bad news for you is nice news for Polyphony Digital, as all tickets of every kind have already sold out, making the Tokyo event the second sell-out of the yr. Only the Prague event didn’t fill its entire venue in the center of the Czech capital, which can come as a surprise considering Europe is Gran Turismo’s biggest market.
The event is scheduled for Saturday twenty eighth September. The Manufacturers’ Cup and Nations’ Cup will once more happen on the identical day – a really busy event for each driver who has to do double duty!
While Tokyo is an everyday stop for the GT World Series, this yr’s venue is all recent. Literally, because it seems, because the Tokyo Kabukicho Tower, where the event is held, doesn’t open until May 2023.
The spectacular 250-meter tower within the Kabukicho entertainment district has many tourist attractions — including an eight-screen movie show — however it’s the Theater Milano-za that shall be the World Series venue. It occupies the sixth to eighth floors of the tower and might seat about 900 people in a theater-style seating arrangement likely used for the finals.
This is the third and final probability for Nations Cup and Manufacturers Cup brands to earn World Series points ahead of the three-day live final in Amsterdam later within the yr. We expect close competition as all competitors look to realize a bonus ahead of the small print in the ultimate.
Beyond the racing itself, we expect to listen to more from Polyphony Digital about its plans for the free-to-play game My First Gran Turismo, which was announced this week and shall be a part of PlayStation's thirtieth anniversary celebrations happening over the following three months.
