Latest Gran Turismo 7 The online time trial mode is now available, and one of the expensive cars in the sport is making a rare appearance within the official release.
You'll head to the western side of the US for a hot-lap event that gives as much as 2 million points should you can get a time inside 3% of the world's fastest players. That's a drop within the ocean should you're trying to buy a automobile for the event.
Because it’s one in every of the sport’s 20 million-cr unicorns, in the form of a 1952 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Mercedes only produced ten examples of this legendary race automobile — which won each the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Carrera Panamericana that yr — and spawned the famous gull-winged 300SL in 1954.
Your challenge for the following two weeks is a nod to the latter event, as you’ll be attempting to set the fastest lap time across the Big Willow track in Willow Springs. Luckily, you possibly can borrow a automobile for the race, even though it’s currently available for purchase on the Legends Cars Dealer should you’re willing to spend more.
This fast road course would require a good amount of attention if you ought to get the fastest time within the classic Mercedes, especially considering the required Comfort Medium tyres. However, early timesheets show players are actually getting in at 1:32 – requiring 1:35.5 to get the gold.
Given that there are only a few braking points on this nine-corner track, we don't think times will deteriorate significantly, nevertheless it's probably a smart bet to go for 1:34.9 should you're after the 2-minute points reward.
There’s every week left in each of the remaining time trials, and also you’ll have to get inside a minute in each events to take gold, with the Red Bull Ring event’s mark being 1:00.280 and the GTWS special challenge currently at 1:00.851. In each cases, any sub-minute lap must be secure and solid.
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 tip of the event to secure Gold status and a 2 million credit bonus reward. There are smaller rewards of 1 million for being inside 5%, and 250,000cr for Bronze at a ten% discount — although the X2019 event sets Bronze at +20% and awards 500,000cr.
