The 2023 Gran Turismo World Series is the sixth season of the Gran Turismo World Series, and the second season held in Gran Turismo 7 and under the GTWS name.

The online season, held in one season, was held from May 13 to June 3 for Nations Cup and June 7 to July 1 for the Manufacturers Cup, with two live events held throughout the year.

In a "teams of countries" format only used for that year, Spain (represented by Jose Serrano, Coque López, Pol Urra) won the Nations Cup, while Nissan won the Manufacturers Cup, the first title for a non-Toyota allied manufacturer.

This season marked the first year for Fanatec as an official GTWS partner (Fanatec previously supplied wheels for the 2019 World Tour in Tokyo due to emergency circumstances surrounding Thrustmaster wheels at that event), and the final year for BBS Japan and Sony Alpha as official GTWS partners, as their partnership contracts expired at the end of the year.

Online Season[]

The following content is taken from Sport Mode (GT7)/Championships#2023; only official season races are listed in this page.

The online season took place from May 13 to June 3 for Nations Cup and June 7 to July 1 for the Manufacturers Cup. With only one season instead of two, the online official season was significantly shortened for 2023, a trend that followed to subsequent GT7-era seasons.

New for 2023 are differentiated lap counts for GT1 and GT2/GT3 League players, where lower league players play for a shorter distance (indicated in brackets). Additionally, Nations Cup qualifying is done on per-country basis where a country's top three players (out of a specified number of countries per region) makes it to the live events. This Nations Cup qualifying format was reverted for the 2024 season.

Notes[]

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 As Genesis was a GTWS partner, Genesis qualified to the live events over Ferrari.
↑ Chuupaghetti is from Philippines, but played under a PSN ID registered as Singaporean as Philippines does not have PlayStation Network. Had the Singapore team qualified, Chuupaghetti would not be eligible for the live events under residency rules.
↑ The Gran Turismo website (and in-game since Gran Turismo Sport) uses the Olympics Chinese Taipei flag to represent Taiwan.
↑ As specified in the Terms and Conditions (page is for 2024 season), the top-ranked Croatian driver won a GTWS T-shirt regardless if they qualified for the live events or not.
↑ As State of Nagaland residents are ineligible to compete, if the highest ranking driver (or any of the Top 3 drivers) were resident(s) of that state, their participation would be given to next eligible driver.
