STEZZANO, Italy – Brembo, the exclusive technical partner in high-performance braking systems for (the videogame) Gran Turismo™ 7, is at the forefront of the 2022 Gran Turismo World Series which gets underway today (May 27th) with the first rounds of the online Season 1.

In the Tuning Shop of the game, players will be able to enhance the competitiveness of their original cars with the highest performing and most distinctive Brembo braking solutions, including Carbon Ceramic brake discs and GT|BM calipers in eight different colors.

Through the Sport Mode of the game, players get access to the 2022 Gran Turismo World Series.

This wrap-up event for Season 1, and the mid-point of the 2022 Gran Turismo World Series.

The competition then continues online with Season 2, with the fastest drivers invited to challenge the established stars at the World Finals in November. After two years, the finals return to the prestigious Sporting Monte Carlo, which hosted the 2018 and 2019 World Finals events.

In addition to the two in-person live events, fans will be able to watch the competitors go head-to-head in a series of three Nations Cup and three Manufacturers Cup broadcast World Series races.
