Another novelty Gran Turismo 7 The online time trial is now available, offering one other probability to earn as much as 2 million points for a run lasting around 90 seconds.
The latest challenge sees a return to racing cars, albeit in probably the most technical sense, with a time trial using one in all the Gr.4 vehicles. These are mostly adapted road cars, stripped of as much extra weight as possible and given some track-specification upgrades, including low-level aero and slick tyres.
You can only select one in all these cars this week, because it’s an event specifically for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Final Edition Gr.4 — a reputation that takes almost longer to type than it does to drive around a lap. This is definitely one in all the more odd Gr.4 cars, because it retains the Evo X’s AWD system it’s based on, and only has a five-speed gearbox as a substitute of the standard six.
The challenge itself is to get the fastest time on the Deep Forest Raceway on Racing Hard tires. It's a track that must be familiar to all Gran Turismo players, young and old, although GT7 This version encompasses a drastically modified ending sector in comparison with previous titles.
Given the relatively low speed, good grip and familiar track, we predict there can be loads of motion at this event. Certainly, an early flurry of times saw the world record drop to 1:32.9, requiring 1:35.7 for gold, and we don't think it’s going to stay that way for long. Results within the mid-32s are likely, so expect 1:35.2 or higher.
There’s still every week to go until the Lamborghini Murcielago time trial at Monza, and the times are kind of exactly what we expected. The current world record is 1:49.874 – the one time under 1:50 – giving a golden threshold of 1:53.170. There’s a superb probability it’ll stand until the top, but you need to probably attempt to get inside 1:52.9.
To access Online Time Trials, you'll have to unlock Sport Mode by completing Menu Book 9 (“Championship: Tokyo Highway Parade”) within the single-player hub GT Cafe. Since it's just you against the clock, reasonably than a head-to-head multiplayer event, PlayStation Plus isn't required.
Typically, you might want to be inside 3% of the fastest time on the earth at the top of an event to secure Gold status and a 2 million credit bonus. There are smaller rewards of 1 million for being inside 5%, and 250,000cr for Bronze with a ten% discount.
Events are updated every Thursday, with each individual challenge typically remaining available for 2 weeks, and the oldest of the 2 events being replaced each week. You can expect one other recent Time Trial to look at 0700 UTC on Thursday, September 12.
