Gran Turismo 2025 Manufacturers Cup Exhibition 2 Starts March 12

With the official 2025 Gran Turismo World Series still a little way off, there’s another exciting chance to hit the track — Exhibition 2 of this year’s Manufacturers Cup kicks off on Wednesday, 12 March, running through to Saturday, 22 March. While it’s not part of the official World Series, the Exhibition seasons play an important role for both drivers and manufacturers. These races help shape early-season rankings, give players a taste of competitive action, and offer manufacturers a chance to showcase their performance ahead of the World Series proper.

If you’ve taken part in previous Manufacturers Cup exhibitions, the format will feel very familiar, and just like before, consistency across all four rounds will be key to climbing the leaderboard.

Detailed Race Schedule and Formats

• Round 1 — 12 March 2025: Fuji International Speedway (12 laps)

• Round 2 — 15 March 2025: Tokyo Expressway - South Counterclockwise (15 laps)

• Round 3 — 19 March 2025: Autopolis International Racing Course (16 laps)

• Round 4 — 22 March 2025: Nürburgring Endurance / GT1: 5 laps / GT2 & GT3: 3 laps

Exhibition 2 is a great chance for anyone to jump into the Gran Turismo World Series and represent their favorite car manufacturer. Over four races, drivers will battle it out to earn points for their brand and climb the rankings. Each round offers several race slots, so you can choose the time that suits you best. You can enter as many of those slots as you want for each round, but only your last race counts, even if you disconnect and end up with zero points.

At the end of the series, only your best three rounds will count towards your final score. That means you can miss one round entirely or have an off day without it ruining your chances.
