This new lap time challenge in GT7 takes players to the Deep Forest Raceway, an original circuit-type track in Switzerland that’s around 4.5 km long.

In this race, you are allowed to use the Mazda Spirit Racing Roadster 12R'25, featuring a block engine that isn't normally available in Japanese soft-tops, as well as specially developed camshafts, cylinder heads, pistons, and exhaust manifolds. The car was recently introduced in update 1.63, released in September 2025.

However, despite being a quite powerful car, there are some limitations, as the car should be equipped with sports hard tires and a wide body, and nitrous/overtake is prohibited.

Here are the settings for this online time trial in Gran Turismo 7:

  • BoP/Tuning Prohibited: On
  • Car Settings: Specified 
  • Track Limit: Normal
  • Shortcut Penalty: Invalidate Time

Currently, the top contenders are racing around the 1:47.375 mark with a DR of A+ and an SR of S.

These lap time challenges are updated every week, with each challenge available for around two weeks.
