Learn about Gran Turismo 7 Quick and Custom Races, including Sophy AI and how to earn up to 400% more credits.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Quick Race: Select this mode to immediately start a race on your chosen track with your selected car.
  2. 2
    Custom Race: This mode provides a sandbox experience where you can fully control:
    • Race distance
  3. 3
    Starting position
  4. 4
    Fuel and tire use multipliers
  5. 5
    Realism settings (damage, off-track grip, penalties)
  6. 6
    Starting grids: Handcraft grids by choosing cars from your garage for each AI opponent. You can even name these AI opponents.
  7. 7
    Sophy AI (PS5 Only): If playing on PS5, Sophy AI is available on select tracks, offering stronger and more realistic CPU opponents.
  8. 8
    Earning Credits: While initial earnings are low, credits can be increased by up to 400% (x5 normal credits) via a Spec II update:
    • +200% for Collector Level 50 or higher.
  9. 9
    +200% for completing track experience tests at each location.
  10. 10
    Grinding Strategy: Turn Custom Race into an effective grinding spot by:
    • Setting up a low Performance Points (PP) car for yourself and higher PP cars for the AI.
  11. 11
    Changing your car's tires and/or parts before the race to ensure you can beat the AI.
  12. 12
    The payout is locked when the race is created, so winning with this setup yields a higher reward than a normal win.
  13. 13
    Race Length and Rewards: Setting up a custom race longer than an hour reduces the prize money ratio per lap or minute. A 24-hour custom race is possible but primarily for enjoyment rather than rewards.
Tips
  • Experiment with Sophy AI on PS5 for a more challenging and realistic racing experience.
  • To maximize credit grinding, ensure your car is capable of winning after setting up the AI opponents and race parameters.
  • Be mindful that extremely long races (over an hour) offer diminishing returns on prize money per unit of time.
