GranTurismo 7 requires a bit of special skill to be the best driver on the track and online. Here are some tips and tricks to get started in GranTurismo7.

Fans have held the Gran Turismo series in high regard for the past two decades. Now, on its 25th anniversary, Gran Turismo 7 delivers a visually stunning racing sim accessible to anyone willing to spend a few extra minutes digesting the finer details of cornering, split streaming, and proper braking. Let’s make one thing crystal clear, Gran Turismo 7 is not an open-world arcade racing game .

International B and A take those lessons up a notch, putting you in faster cars, setting faster times, and throwing different combinations of scenarios at you. Finally, the Super license puts you behind the wheel of the fastest cars in Gran Turismo 7, like the Lamborghini Aventador and several Formula 1 cars. Instead of short sections, the Super license records your fastest time around 10 tracks.

For example, when coming up on a sharp left turn, you don’t want to be on the left side of the track. Instead, you want to be as far right as possible. Then, turn into the left-side corner and emerge from the turn back on the right side of the track. As you’ll learn in the license center, cornering isn’t as easy as turning the wheel.

However, you don’t have to slam on the brakes for every corner. The longer the brake indicator is , the harder you have to brake. Sometimes, the brake indicator is short, spanning only a few segments. You don’t have to slam on the brakes for those turns and can usually get around by laying off the throttle and gently pressing the brakes.

“Press down on the throttle” doesn’t mean floor it. Instead, gently press the throttle as you’re coming out of the turn to get back up to speed. The acceleration should pull your car to the opposite corner, allowing you to maintain speed while staying on the track. This is most helpful when turning on straightaways. When taking multiple corners, it’s helpful to tap the throttle just to kick yourself forward and stay ahead of whoever’s behind you.

Understanding PP In Gran Turismo 7, Performance Points is your car’s overall level. The higher the PP, the better the car is. The first car you buy from the used car lot will be in the lower PP tier, between 300 and 400. For example, we went with the Honda Fit Hybrid for our first car with 349 PP. This initial choice doesn’t really matter, as you’ll only need this car for the introductory races.

Increase your driver level in Gran Turismo 7 to unlock more tuning tiers in the tuning shop. The best way to increase your driver level is by completing licenses. The car rewards shoot your level up faster than grinding menus. Each tuning tier comes with new sets of tires that’ll raise or lower your PP. Those tires break down into soft, medium, and hard tires, with soft being the best. However, soft tires wear quickly, but we haven’t had an issue with that, at least not yet.

Race yourself Here’s an additional quick-tip to tuning your car. Pick any race track, preferably one with several different components like multiple turns in a row, a long straightaway, and a hairpin corner . Instead of selecting the scheduled race, select Time Trial. Then, do your best to set the fastest time possible in whatever car you’re looking to tune. We recommend taking three laps to do so. That way, you’re used to the track once you start tuning.

Otherwise, the cars available at Brand Central are over a million credits. Don’t even think about it. For starters, you can’t use those cars in early to mid-game events, since there’s a hard PP cap. Secondly, you’ll spend all your hard-earned credits and can’t afford tuning parts for other cars. At the cafe, talk to Luca to claim your reward. He’ll tell you all about the cars you just unlocked, but unless you’re really into car history, ignore him. Skip through the dialogue and move on to the next menu. There are some other people in the cafe to talk to, but we haven’t found a rewarding reason to speak to them.

Each race comes with a “recommended” PP, so make sure the car you’re using is appropriately tuned to compete in that race. Otherwise, you’ll get left in the dust. We highly recommend tuning your car at least 50 PP over the recommended amount. Here’s why.
