Honda Racing’s Gran Turismo 7 Esports Event Returns for 2024, With Global Live Final​

After a successful debut in 2023, Honda Racing is bringing its Gran Turismo 7 esports event back this year — and opening the live final to players around the world...

Will we get a mass-produced and cloned certificate again?

Probably not, as 2023 was about beating the CTR's lap records and that's not the car or goal this year.

I did make a signable PDF version of the certificate from last year, if people wanted to put their times and names in. Although I've no idea where I put it.

Edit: Oh, here it is.

I'm always down for special-edition skins, so I'll likely give this one a swing. I wonder if Nissan would ever wanna have its own competition to complete the trio of major Japanese automakers? I know they had GT Academy during the PS3 era, but AFAIK I don't think all three brands have had a competition in the same year.

I like that livery so I might actually participate in this

For those that participated in both of the age bracket TT events last time, did you get your wrist slapped or did nothing happen? Asking for a friend.

Nothing happened. They even paid me extra credits for doing it!

..and I'd do it again

Nothing happened. I happily took the extra credits. XD

I was very happy with my performance, I was quite competitive in the 0-4 years category!

This was one of my favourite events last year. That said, and a bit left field, but I love how the game is still kicking arse, every TT and event getting lots of people playing it and all. I play GT7 everyday and I'm loving it haha.

I hope the live stream will be in English this year, it was a great event last year, and it was fun to watch

 

[EditLater]

50+ category please! I do okay but clearly not as fast as when I was younger.

Is there a photo of the PS avatar anywhere? Apologies if it's shown in-game, I haven't logged in to look. I think that's a cool idea as a participation gift

Here’s a picture of it, more interesting than a skin if you ask me 🤣

Car handles well, fun to drive. I’ll probably use it more often.

 

[hajunf]

I haven't received my reward or avatar, yet I've done both events

 

[GT5 Level 41]

I got the car and credits. I didn’t know about the avatar. I’ll report back if awarded.

update: I checked and found an avatar of a little robot standing next to a die-cast generic looking car. Not sure when or where it came from.

Got two HRC Type-R's for setting times in both Time Trials. Good stuff.

Challenge Class qualifiers:
Japan top 4 -
CRV (Seiya Suzuki)
T. Miyazono
Osakana (Ryota Kokobun)
Takuan (Takuma Sasaki)

not-Japan top 5 -
V. Gallo
D. Alunni
F. Bertani
Kylian Drumont
I. Fraga (pre-qualified as defending champion)
G. Mangano

OP_Veltro was 10th overall but missed out as the 5th fastest driver from Japan (6th fastest if you count Fraga, as he apparently was here, even though his main account races with a Brazilian flag...)
