Gran Turismo: How Did We Get Here?

Now, for those of you who have just arrived and don't know how the series reached this absurd level of hype, let's do a smart recap of the first two rounds of this competition that has been a rollercoaster of emotions.

The first stop was in Montreal, Canada, and it was like a movie set, you know? The event got really hot with the Manufacturers Cup at the Interlagos Race Track (yes, the same one we know so well). And the one who dominated was Igor Fraga, who didn't hesitate and took Lexus to the top, followed closely by Valerio Gallo (Team Honda) and Takuma Sasaki (Team Porsche). Nations CupTakuma Miyazono made magic happen at the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta circuit, narrowly beating Spaniards Jose Serrano and Coque López.

Now, in the second round, things heated up in Prague, Czech Republic. In Manufacturers Cupthe British Mohamed Buhdeima put on a show at the wheel of the Ferrari, driving the crowd crazy, especially because he held the fort and kept Benjamin Hencsei's Porsche and Thomas Labouteley's BMW on his tail. It was close, but the kid made it. And in Nations CupValerio Gallo returned to the top with an exciting victory at the Red Bull Ring. This guy is one of those who can even drive a shopping cart as if it were Formula 1.
