The Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup (TGR GT Cup) was an esports series managed by Toyota and Polyphony Digital (PD). The championship consists of drivers competing individually with a variety of Toyota cars (though occasionally also featuring cars by other manufacturers).
The series began in 2019. In its first two years, the competition was a one-make series involving the GR Supra sports car. This is reflected in the name the tournament had during 2019 and 2020, Toyota GR Supra GT Cup. Starting from 2021, the series was expanded to also include other Toyota cars, with some cars even being added to the game specifically to support online rounds of the competition.
From 2019 to 2021, the tournament was held in Gran Turismo Sport. Starting from 2022, the tournament moved to Gran Turismo 7, after said game's release.
Supplementary regional championships were also held in Southeast Asia (Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup Asia) and Middle East (Toyota Gazoo Racing MENA Esports Cup) to help players from both regions to compete in live World Finals, in addition to in-game alone.
The series was discontinued after the 2024 season.[1]
