Las Vegas, NV  April 2, 2025 — Vegas Inferno is proud to announce our official entry into the Gran Turismo World Tour, marking a new chapter in our growing legacy within the racing esports scene. As part of this exciting expansion, we’re thrilled to welcome Dean Heldt to the Inferno family as our official Gran Turismo driver.

Dean brings a blend of precision, passion, and proven track performance that aligns perfectly with the Inferno standard. A rising force in sim racing, Dean is set to represent Vegas Inferno on the world stage and take the wheel in this next evolution of competitive motorsport.

“Gran Turismo is where passion meets performance, and adding Dean to our lineup makes this entry even more electrifying,” said Jairo Urcuyo, CEO of Vegas Inferno. “We’re not just showing up, we’re here to compete at the highest level.”

This move into Gran Turismo builds on Vegas Inferno’s already strong foundation in the racing sim world. Our presence in iRacing and the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series has shown the potential of esports teams stepping into virtual motorsports  and winning. From hosting live watch parties to branded car liveries and grassroots community races, we’ve continued to push the envelope of what esports and racing can look like together.

Now, by entering the Gran Turismo World Tour, we expand our footprint even further, connecting the high-octane world of console racing with our championship-caliber energy.

Follow Dean’s journey and catch all the racing action on our official channels. Let’s burn some rubber and bring the heat to Gran Turismo.
