Gran Turismo 7 Career Mode: Races, Single-player, Events, Cars, Tracks, Tuning Shop & more!

Gran Turismo 7 is just a few months away and we can’t wait. The Real Driving Simulator is coming to the next-gen PlayStation system and it will take the series to the next level. We’ve had several trailers regarding Gran Turismo 7 already released, but what do we know about Career Mode, though? We’ve got everything we know so far right here!

Home screen

Gran Turismo 7 has seemingly gone back to the style of the menu we were used to seeing in titles like GT4 and GT5, and we’re loving the look of it!

After a glimpse a few months ago, the PlayStation Showcase trailer put a lot more meat on the bones. You can now see real detail in the options and surroundings. There also appears to be a day and night cycle in the home menu. So, it’s safe to assume that the home menu’s time of day, matches that outside your window.

As for what these icons all represent, we haven’t been able to see all of them yet, but some have been revealed. The features we can see include Special Events, Missions, Championships, School and GT World, which many of you will remember well.

Tracks

We’ve written a full piece on what circuits are confirmed so far, but, to summarise, there are eight in Japan, five in the U.S.A., and one each in Europe and Australia. We’ve also got Trial Mountain making a comeback and it’s much-changed from previous games.

That won’t be the end of the circuits though, there will be more on offer in GT7. The CEO of Polyphony has confirmed that all of the cars and tracks from GT Sport will be in GT7, so keep your eye in on GT Sport before the game launches.

We’ve also made a wishlist of what we’d like to see in GT7, but to get a better idea of what to expect, check which tracks have made an appearance in GT Sport.

Cars

Gran Turismo, like any racing game, is nothing without its cars. GT7 will have hundreds from launch, but which ones have we seen so far?

We’ve got a full list compiled in this article, but here are some of the highlights include the Bugatti VGT Gr.1, Ferrari FXXK, Ford GT40 Mk I ’66 & Lamborghini VGT. There are over 420 that have been confirmed so far, which is a lot by anybody’s standards.

For all of the cars that made an appearance in GT Sport, check out this article.

Events & Tournaments

It is nice to see 4 fan favourites confirmed for the career mode of the game already. The gameplay we saw in the trailer showcases the ability to select the championship level in which the player would like to compete, from Sunday Cup through to GT Cup.

These cups have been present in the game since its inception, with Sunday Cup featuring in Gran Turismo since 1997 as well as the Tourist Trophy spin-off game!

The title really does seem to be harking back to a Gran Turismo that we all know and love.

B-Spec Mode

A favourite of ours from the release of Gran Turismo is B-Spec.

Whilst the revered A-Spec mode is a franchise essential, the B-Spec mode holds a special place in our hearts, and we’d love to see it make a return in Gran Turismo 7.

Right now, we don’t know for certain if we’re going to end up with a B-Spec mode or not, but our fingers are crossed regardless.

The trailer is everything we could have dreamed of, and we’re incredibly excited to get our hands on the title.
