The D1 Grand Prix, or D1GP for short,[1] is a tournament in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's manga, organized and sponsored by Rex Goodwin.[2][3]
The Grand Prix aims to gather the best Turbo Duelists in the world, irrespective of race, religion or criminal record and have them battle to allow Yusei to beat them and become the Emperor of Turbo Duels, who will then face Jack in a Turbo Duel.[4]
All entrants in the tournament, are required to have a "Checkerflag of Glory" card.[4]

Format
The first stage of the tournament is a two game-elimination secret tournament format. Players are not told who they will be facing until just before the Turbo Duel. This way players are unable to adjust their Decks to gain an advantage over their opponent.[3]
The winner after the first few stages faces Jack Atlas in a final Turbo Duel.[4]
History
After hearing that Jack Atlas had arrived in Satellite, Goodwin and Mina Simington began to carry out their preparations for the tournament.[2] Invitations were sent out to Turbo Duelists, who mostly lost to Jack Atlas in the past and are likely to want a rematch.[3]
The day after Yusei's loss to Jack, Lazar gave Yusei an invitation to the tournament, addressing him as the best Turbo Duelist in Satellite and telling him that Jack would also be participating.[1] Lazar told Yusei about the tournament and the fame and riches which will be associated with the winner. Yusei said that he has no interest in that, but Lazar asked him if he cares about pride; dueling Jack again could be a chance for Yusei to restore his pride.[4]
After facing Akiza Izinski in a One-Shot Run, Yusei decided to enter.[4]
At the opening event, Goodwin explained the rules to the contestants and introduces Jack Atlas. Jack recognizes most of the contestants and patronizes them saying that the D1 Grand Prix seems to just be a consolation tournament, but smiles when he sees Crow Hogan and Kalin Kessler.[3]
Yusei faces Greiger in the first round of the tournament. He arrives late, causing him to lose popularity with the audience.[3]
