Published 2024-02-14 by Zdravko Anticic

It is that time of the year again. We bring you our absolute favourite photos from the past season. The pics are taken by Nicolas Grandi, James Holm and Ivan Caravona. Enjoy.

60. The crowds awaiting the drivers in Slupsk, Gran Turismo Polonia.

59. Nurburgring. The Porsche 992 GT3 RS is such a great car on this extremely challenging track.

58. The amazing colour on Tomasz and Leszeks Lamborghini Aventador. Gran Turismo Polonia

57. The moment Stefan Burlin accepted to go as a passenger in one of our instructors' specially prepared Mercedes-AMG GTRs on the Nurburgring this year. There is absolutely nothing to be afraid of. Everything will be OK. Welcome Stefan. Enjoy. You will be just fine.

56. Strada 222 Chiantigiana between Florence and Siena. An amazing road in Tuscany. Not only the views, the road is an incredibly exciting drive.

55. Patrik and Renata in their Ferrari F8 Spider on the Adriatic coast. This particular stretch of road is near Makarska in Croatia. While we go at the beginning of May, there is usually very little traffic, making the driving fantastic. One of the top three roads on the planet. Bucket list for all supercar owners.

54. Klas and Torsten in their Lamborghini Huracan Spider going down hill on Passo dell'Abetone approaching Pistoia. This is a wonderful road. From our special event with the Swedish Royal Automobile Club in October.

53. Patrik Johansson sporting the most fashionable socks in the world.

52. Our official photographer Nicolas Grandi looking all dapper in restaurant SE-STO on the top floor of Westin Excelsior in Florence.

48. Olav Medhus and Örjan side by side in Croatia. On the Istrian peninsula on the first day of driving of Gran Turismo Adriatica.

47. Arguably the best meat restaurant in Italy, Solociccia is an icon in Tuscany. Run by the famous TV personality Dario Checcini, this is a favourite stop during our annual event Gran Turismo Toscana. The lunch has eight courses in total, trying everything from ragu to fiorentina steak. Don't worry, they have delicious vegetarian alternatives, too.

46. Ulf and Lucia leaving Slupsk in their Ferrari 488 GTB.

45. The incredible scenery in Tuscany. This road connects Volterra and Saline di Volterra and is one of the most entertaining in Tuscany.

44. Crowds awaiting our arrival in Sirmione on Gran Turismo Italia. Ross and Jared in their beautiful Ferrari SF90 Stradale.

43. Urmas getting ready to go. Gran Turismo Adriatica.

38. Hans and Åsa in their spectacular Performante on a country road in Poland through the Kaszuby district west of Gdansk.

37. Stop for coffee in Mattarana on the way to Santa Margharita. Gran Turismo Riviera. This years edition of the event is fully booked, but we will have new dates for the 2025 edition soon. Sign up for the newsletter to be the first to know.

32. Arrival in Kolobrzeg during Gran Turismo Polonia.

31. This beautiful picture from the Tuscan countryside from our special event organised for the Medici Legacy event in November.

30. More crowds in Poland. This time it is Fabio and Alexander in their immacualte Ferrari 458 Italia.

29. Fredrik making his way past the crowds in the city of Czarnkow on Gran Turismo Polonia.

27. Alexander with his two of his, in total, three extremely well behaved dogs in the famous Karusell curve on the Nurburgring. This year we are on this racing track 3-6 of June.

22. Justyna and Michal attending a briefing. It is Hotel de Russie in Rome.

15. Not sure what is going on here, but the picture is from the city square of the city Slupsk in northern Poland. Thousands of people came to see the 100-ish supercars that arrived to the city, parked on the square and had lunch. Next year we are visiting another two new cities just like Slupsk on Gran Turismo Polonia.

14. Lots of speed in this picture of Anders and Nobuko in their Ferrari 488 Spider in the somewhat uncommon blue colour. Picture is from a beautiful country road near the Baltic coast in Poland. This is Gran Turismo Polonia.

13. Robin driving his Lamborghini Huracan STO in the small karusell on the Nurburgring. I can hear this image, that V10 sounds just amazing. Probably one of the best sounding cars ever made. Our next event on the Nurburgring is in June and is sadly fully booked.

12. Ørjan leaving the red carpet event in Mostar. Again, thank you to Mepas and the city council for wonderful organisation. Lots of spectators!

8. Nicole and Patrik enjoying their Maserati MC20 Cielo on one of the best roads in Italy, Passo dell'Abetone. This is the unoficcial test track of Ferrari, and Enzo Ferrari's favourite road. Conveniently located just half an hour south of Maranello. This road is VERY entertaining, and any supercar will start making a lot of sense there.

7. This insanely good shot from SP13, Passo Vestito, in Tuscany. This mountain pass was made famous from the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace. Gran Turismo Toscana is 9-13 of October and there are still some places left. Ferrari included!

6. These two now classic Honda NSX cars on Tor Poznan during Gran Turismo Polonia. Both cars are signed up for the 2024 edition.

5. The red carpet event in Mostar. Fantastic welcome by the city and Mepas mall. Bosnia is extremely beautiful, with many resurfaced great stretches of road. Gran Turismo Adriatica. It is fully booked.

1. Peter Sörensen checking out a statue on the top floor of the Vatican galleries. From our special event in March when we privatised the Vatican museum.
