Apparently Kyoto Driving Park in GT3's is my thing. Just won a DR B race with fastest lap, clean race bonus and LAPPED some dude a couple of turns before the end. Still at DR B but getting drawn with a lot of A's and vaguely competing... shyt gets real up there. Wish I could see how far off I was.

Nah this is something the leaker is teasing is coming in the next few days.
There are two classic GT tracks that were data mined before, but otherwise not much is known about this update other than a well known leaker telling everyone be excited.

Gran Turismo celebrates 25th Anniversary – Heads to Monaco for four-Day GT World Finals
We are very excited to be hosting our first live and in-person Gran Turismo World Series World Finals since 2019. Fittingly we are returning to Le Sporting Monte Carlo, the venue for the inaugural World Finals in 2018, as well as the 2019 iteration.
We’ll have 56 of the world’s fastest Gran Turismo racers from 19 different countries gathering in Monaco from 24 to 27 November to compete in three separate championships.
A festival of racing
Opening this festival of racing will be the Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup where 24 drivers will battle it out for the title. The on-track action will be broadcast live from 1600 UTC on Thursday, November 24.Friday, November 25 sees 30 drivers taking to the virtual track for the Nations Cup Regional Finals. As well as crowning the champions of the Asia-Oceania, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), and Americas regions, Friday’s live stream (also at 1600 UTC) will select the 12 drivers who will progress to the all-important Nations Cup Grand Final on Sunday, November 27 (live at 1600 UTC).
The two Nations Cup events sandwich the Manufacturers Cup which takes place on Saturday, November 26 (you guessed it, at 1600 UTC!). The Manufacturers Cup pits 12 teams of three drivers against each other on behalf of some of Gran Turismo’s leading manufacturer partners.
Celebrating 25 years of Gran Turismo
It’s a special time to be hosting these finals as it marks a start of Gran Turismo’s 25th anniversary celebrations and I’ll be looking back over those 25 years and glimpsing the future on stage during the event. Since the first Gran Turismo, it was always my ambition to see a competitive, global championship evolve, so it will be immensely satisfying to crown our world champions at the weekend, and I know we are in store for some incredible racing.In-game gifts and chances to win
