Gran Turismo Fan Fest Los Angeles 2025: GT Awards Return and World Series Round 3

By Sean Morris November 07, 2025 event, Featured, Gran Turismo

Gran Turismo Fan Fest Los Angeles 2025 is set to bring together the worlds of gaming, tuning, and car culture on November 8, 2025, at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. The event coincides with Gran Turismo World Series Round 3 and marks the long-awaited return of the GT Awards — where the best real-world custom car builds have the chance to be immortalized as playable cars in Gran Turismo 7.

The GT Fan Fest will feature a mix of live racing, tuning showcases, music, merchandise, and interactive experiences. Fans can explore car displays, meet builders, and even try new driving rigs while celebrating the connection between digital racing and real-world craftsmanship. The event also includes the debut of a UNION × Gran Turismo capsule collaboration and previews of the upcoming Spec III update for GT7.

For GT-R enthusiasts, the return of the GT Awards means another chance for JDM icons and tuned Skylines to make their way into the game — much like the legendary Fugu Z that won in 2015. With Southern California’s deep roots in import culture, this year’s event is shaping up to be one of the most relevant yet for fans of Nissan performance and modern car culture.
