Lilian Chee, Director of Sports at the Singapore Tourism Board, commented, “As an elite sim racing tournament, the highly regarded Gran Turismo World Series reinforces Singapore’s position as a premier destination for world-class sporting and entertainment events. We look forward to the energy and excitement that Round 3 will bring to our city, adding further vibrancy to this year’s Grand Prix™ Season Singapore.”
Kazunori Yamauchi, Gran Turismo Series Producer, stated, “Singapore is a great place to visit, and we hope that fans of Gran Turismo from across the region will come to watch our top racers in action. The regional Time Trial provides an opportunity to discover talented drivers and offer them a chance to race on stage before a live audience, potentially inspiring them to join the Gran Turismo World Series in the future.”
In addition to the Singapore Regional Gran Turismo Cup, attendees will witness some of the world’s fastest SIM racers competing in the Manufacturers Cup and Nations Cup.
