Turn on the visual aids to learn the tracks

At the start of the game, Gran Turismo 7 provides only one visual aid to learn the tracks, that is, marking the player's starting and ending points.

However, by adjusting the settings, people will also find other tools that will help learn the track, specifically the point of need to brake, like the image below.

It is important for players to enable these supports from the beginning as they will not reduce the amount of bonuses received at the end of the race.

Choose the highest difficulty

Although, for new players, the easiest level is always preferred, this game is the exception. Gran Turismo 7 has 3 difficulty levels and the highest difficulty is a good way to fully enjoy the game.

At this difficulty level, players will see confident opponents with superior skill and counterattack whenever the opportunity arises. By practicing and playing the hardest levels, gamers will participate in the most exciting confrontations.

Do not drive the car too fast, causing loss of control

Once in the Tuning Shop, the strongest temptation will always be to increase the vehicle speed. However, keep in mind that the vehicle will become more and more difficult to handle as the PP gauge increases. In GT7 it is very important to keep an eye on the ratio between the speed a vehicle can reach to the speed the car can achieve without becoming difficult to control.

Used car dealers are back in operation in Gran Turismo 7. Here, players can buy cars at a much more favorable price than buying at Brand Central. But it's not just about saving money, the dealership also includes some very rare vehicles that can only be purchased here.

Don't rush to win

At least in the first playthrough, winning the GT Café events doesn't really matter. Even in third place, the player will still receive the reward car. But above all, by driving smoothly, without hitting an opponent on the track or recklessly cutting at any turn, everyone will have a better chance of getting closer to the top of the race. Also, be aware that the last one or two laps will have the cars ahead slowing down, giving the player a chance to win the race, or at least to try it out.
