Welcome to my custom career mode for Gran Turismo 7. Developed over the course of two years, I have attempted to plug a hole left by Polyphony Digital and utilise the in-game tools to create a classic GT style career mode, with a few twists for a fresh experience.
I have to give a huge, huge thanks to @pritchyTim for giving feedback every step of the way, suggesting ideas which ultimately helped make this better. He has an awesome GT3 Remake in GT7 project in the works if you're interested, you can find it in the recent custom race thread pages.
I also have to thank Roflwaffle, the YouTuber who covers Gran Turismo. Their breakdowns and critiques of GT7's career, and references as to why they prefer older games, and also their video about their dream racing game, was food for thought and inspiration for this.
So with that, here is a rundown of what this career features:
Update: New regulations for setting the grid order and options for multi-race seasonal series events
With the regulations out of the way, the racing can begin! Take your first step either by participating in the Beginner League, or obtaining a Tier 5 license through karting events. In each league, you face set drivers which are the same from the first race of a league, to the last, and some can carry over into the next league depending on their results.
Each driver's nationality is outlined beside their name in the Driver List, using the three letter code for their country.
For each tier of license and league, there are Google documents containing all of the event details.
The outline on the left side of the screen will allow you to jump to any specific race among the list. To expand a piece of text in the document, such as the "Beginner League" text, click on the little arrow to the left of the text.
There is also a "global" document, which contains all the licenses and leagues in one. I'll post that at the end of the individual license/league document spoiler tags.
A spreadsheet by @pritchyTim is also attached, allowing you to track both your progress, and the progress of other drivers you’re competing against across the leagues. Check back frequently for updates, as new licenses and leagues are added. Right now, the Beginner League is complete.
Lights out!

So with that, here is a rundown of what this career features:
- Classic GT style progression with multiple leagues, each a step up in car performance and race length, all leading into high-level motorsport events. Each league uses a league-long championship system, in which each race counts for points, and a championship runs from the first event in the league, until the end. Whoever has the most points after the final race, wins. A league is much like a long motorsport season, in that sense.
- Multiple motorsport series' as you build towards them over the course of your career - competing in them across your license acquisition events, as well. Once you reach the later phases of your career, and have access to the highest level events, you can play on a seasonal cycle, or switch between them, now that you have the required licenses. For example, going from Formula 1 to NASCAR racing, or WEC to Formula X.
- Motorsport licenses see you start from grassroots racing and progress into the elite echelons of the sport, going wheel-to-wheel with your fellow Formula drivers or out-scrapping endurance racers.
- Opponent permeance with drivers you meet in lower leagues potentially racing alongside you at the highest levels, depending on their finishing position in the league standings. Each driver in the mainline leagues (excluding the Endurance League) has a name and backstory, intended to ground them as more than a one-off opponent (not all original driver bios are yet complete. Over the week, I will update them all. Everything else in the career is finished and final).
- A selection of races outside of the mainline career path which utilise some of the legend and invitational cars in the game - this will be expanded further in time. It was something I had to reduce in order to get it out, but the first thing I will be doing is adding more events to that section. There's also the Maestro League, a league in which you take on legends of the automotive and motorsport world across short, two race series'.
- A Manufacturer League heavily inspired by Gran Turismo 4, to give purpose to many cars in the game which can otherwise be passed by for another in the same category, or ignored altogether.
- Missions, also inspired by GT4, but the missions themselves are a bit more of a deviation from official games. They're more experimental, but I have tested them to ensure that they are possible. The missions also contain a variety of race series with driver lists and premises that would not fit in the mainline events.
- A selection of rally events, but more like a traditional timed rally. You must still beat your opponents and take home the most points, but the events take place on a path across the continent in which the event began.
- Two ways of playing - Quick Play, and Custom Play (more info below).
- As an aside, if people enjoy this and post pictures or write posts about their races, I would love to feature a short news section/clipping for that! I will be reserving the second post on this thread in case. It will be a short snippet of an article with perhaps a photo attached. Something like:
- "M. Scott snatches razor-thin victory at Interlagos to clinch the title!" as the headline, and a couple or a few paragraphs about the race/result. If that sounds interesting, let me know!
- Here are a list of available motorsport series' in the career - these are separate from the main GT style events, which take place from the Beginner League to the Elite League. The Endurance League also features, and contains some of the below championships in a "Seasonal Championships" section, in which each series within runs on a season-by-season basis, where points and accolades carry over. So, if you want, you can become a legend in V8 Supercars, or a GT World Challenge icon. Each season is represented in full with a representative calendar from the 2023 season, though the Formula 1, 2, and 3 calendars have been updated a little to more closely match the 2024 season. As I set a public deadline of May 30th (which helped me immensely to get this finished), I did not have time to update them to the 2024 season. I needed the pressure of the deadline. Here is the list of motorsport series':
- Formula 1
- Formula X
- Formula 2
- Super Formula
- Formula 3
- Formula Junior
- World Endurance Championship
- Super GT
- GT World Challenge (America, Europe, Asia)
- IMSA SportsCar Championship
- GT4 (America, European Series, Asia-Pacific)
- British GT
- British Touring Car Championship
- NASCAR Cup Series
- V8 Supercars

- Quick Play is a "plug in and play" way to experience the career. For the majority of events, only you as the player will need to set your car up to the specified event parameters. The game will automatically generate a grid around your car's PP level. In the majority of main leagues, drivers are not tracked, and there is no points system, as names cannot be changed when the grid is auto-generated. Balance of Performance (BoP) is used in all events with Group racing cars (Gr.1, Gr.2, Gr.3, Gr.4, Gr.B). See more information about this and how the career functions when in “Quick Play” in the next spoiler tag.
- Custom Play is for the person who wants to go deep and manually set up every opponent AI car for the event. So, for example, a race featuring low-RPM turbocharged cars in Custom Play would have every AI car set up with a low-RPM turbocharger. It can be any car for the AI as long as it meets the regulations.
In the “Quick Play” mode, outside of specific licenses and leagues, there are no seasonal points systems, and drivers are not given custom names or tracked. This is because, when letting the game generate the grid, positions and names cannot be adjusted.
Therefore, for all mainline leagues (Beginner to Elite), each race is standalone. No points are tallied, and drivers change for each race.
For license events, objectives are centred around obtaining a certain number of podiums or wins for each championship series, rather than a final standings finish as is the case in "Custom Play".
For Tier 2 Closed-Wheel License Events (GT4 championships and BTCC), the opponent car of choice is generated by the "Choose by Car Category" Option, and with "Gr.4" selected as the car category.
Endurance League Seasonal Championships retain the custom assigned grid, however the opponent car of choice can be three or more cars across the grid. This persists for all categories: Gr.4, Gr.3, Gr.2, Gr.1. As with the licenses, points and drivers are tracked in a season format.
Championship League races are much like licenses, as they are a spec series, and as such, points and drivers are tracked in a season format.

Quick Play Regulatory Statement
The Global Motorsport Federation (hereafter GMF) announce today an initiative to allow the world’s best drivers - both proven and yet to be discovered - to compete in comparatively low-cost spec, semi-spec, and relative-spec series’, mirroring the current events of world motorsport.
These championships and events will contain the addition of “(S)”, “(S2)”, and “(RS)” to their titles, indicating that they are spec, semi-spec, relative-spec, respectively.
A multitude of particular-spec (PS) events are also present, however these do not fall under the “Quick Play” banner, as they require specific cars for both player and competitors, potentially tuned to set parameters.

A multitude of particular-spec (PS) events are also present, however these do not fall under the “Quick Play” banner, as they require specific cars for both player and competitors, potentially tuned to set parameters.
———————————————————————————————————————
- A spec series (S) sees each competitor drive an identical car, provided by the GMF on the player’s behalf.
- Only the setup may be adjusted, except for the ECU and/or power limiter, which may be decreased beyond the specified maximum limit to increase competitiveness with other racers.
———
- The following events fall into the spec series (S) category:
- Formula 1 (S)
- Formula X (S)
- Formula 2 (S)
- Formula 3 (S)
- Formula Junior (S)
- International Stock Car Championship Cup Series (S)
- V8 Supercars (S)
- Porsche Supercup (S)
- Porsche Carrera Cup (S)
- Clio Cup (S)
- Yaris Cup (S)
- MX-5 Cup (S)
- FIA World Karting Championship (S)
- Continental Karting Championship (S)
- National Karting Championship (S)
———————————————————————————————————————
- A semi-spec series (S2) consists of cars meeting the regulations, which are assigned to each competitor solely by the GMF.
- In the case of a semi-spec series, the player need not assign vehicles themselves - instead, let the system automatically choose depending on the category (Gr.1, Gr.2, Gr.3, Gr.4, Gr.B).
- Balance of Performance (BoP) will be used in all events with Group racing cars.
———
- The following events fall into the semi-spec series (S2) category:
- World Endurance Championship (S2)
- Super GT (S2)
- GT World Challenge (S2) (America, Europe, Asia)
- IMSA SportsCar Championship (S2)
- GT4 (S2) (America, European Series, Asia-Pacific)
- British GT (S2)
- British Touring Car Championship (S2)
———————————————————————————————————————
- Relative-spec events (RS) feature car assignment protocols identical to S2 events. This is in place during all events which are not part of a seasonal championship.
- This means that, for example, the opponent car list for National League races will be automatically chosen by the system in the same way it is for Gr.1, Gr.2, Gr.3, Gr.4 and Gr.B events.
- In RS events, you will need to tune your car to the specified parameters, but the opponent car list is decided by the system.
———
- The following leagues consist of events that fall into the relative-spec (RS) category:
- Beginner League (RS)
- National League (RS)
- Professional League (RS)
- Expert League (RS)
- Elite League (RS)
- Rally League (RS)
- Legend League
- Exclusive League
- Unique League
———
- The following leagues consist of events that do not fall into the relative-spec (RS) category:
- Events in the Championship League
- Seasonal Championships section of the Endurance League
- License Acquisition Events
- These are instead a mix of S and S2 events, outlined at the top of the document.
———————————————————————————————————————
- Particular-spec events (PS) require certain cars for both the player, and other competitors, all of which may need tuning to specific detail.
- Each car in the event may be tuned differently, and the player must procure the vehicles in order to compete in these events.
- The following leagues consist of events that fall into the particular-spec (PS) category.
- Tier 5, Tier 4, and Tier 3 Closed-Wheel License Acquisition Events
- All Open-Wheel License Acquisition Events
- Maestro League
- Missions

- Motorsport Licenses, in lieu of traditional licenses - and GT7 has them anyhow, so I wanted to try something different. In this career, while you can complete the Beginner League without a license, to progress further, you will need to acquire a Motorsport License - which has two versions: Open-wheel, and closed-wheel. They both begin at Tier 5 (the lowest), and each successive league requires a higher level closed-wheel license - but, you will also need a high level open-wheel license in order to compete in open-wheel events.
- The way you earn these licenses is through race series and championships, such as national karting championships, the MX-5 Cup, GT4 Americas, Formula Junior, Porsche Carrera Cup, Formula 3, and more. Earn enough points to finish high enough in the standings for that season, and you will earn a higher tier license, unlocking access to new leagues and league events.
- If you intend to ultimately only compete in, for example, the World Endurance Championship, once you reach it, a Tier 1 closed-wheel license will be required. It is only if you want to cross over into open-wheel racing, that you will need an open-wheel license. However, as closed-wheel licenses are required for regular league progression, you cannot only obtain open-wheel licenses, as you must complete leagues such as the National, Professional, and Expert League, in order to be eligible for a Tier 1 Open-Wheel License, or a Super License.
- For both open and closed-wheel licenses, if you have the cash, you can skip straight to the Tier 1 License Acquisition Events, bypassing the requirement for previous licenses to be acquired. This is not cheap - but it intends to replicate the ability to effectively buy out a seat. This will also unlock all events previously locked to lower level licenses, for that category of car (open or closed-wheel). This is also a way to avoid re-playing the whole league again if you do not make it into the required finishing bracket.
- The idea behind doing it this way is to give a fear of failure, but there's also an option there if you just want to progress after a long season. However, a long season also allows for a points deficit to be clawed back, and with previous race results determining the grid order, a streak of wins could set you up nicely for the final standings.
Custom Career Event Regulations
In all vehicles, unless otherwise specified, install a power restrictor, or, if an adjustable ECU is installed by default, set one or the other to 96% once at the PP limit. So for example, 600 PP would become 590 PP.
This depends on the car’s power vs. your opponents’. It might be less, for example, 97%. The league-wide percentage reduction will be listed at the top of each league.
If you set the AI to use the car with 100% power, then load the event, you can set your car’s power to 97% and the AI’s car will still be at 100% power, as long as you don’t re-select their car to your current one.
Modifications are allowed unless otherwise specified, however, only before the ECU/Power Limiter percentage decrease is applied.
Race Distance
For certain endurance races, the race distance is divided into four or more lengths:
—
The race distance for Formula 1 and some other long races is divided into three lengths:
—
For Formula 2, Formula 3 and some other events, the race distance is divided into two lengths:
—
You can choose whether you want to play a longer race, or a shorter one, whichever you prefer. There are no restrictions on choosing a different race distance during a season.

Tyre Statement (F1, F2, F3, SF, WEC, V8 Supercars)
Pirelli, Yokohama Tire, Dunlop and Michelin (hereinafter referred to as “The Four”) have agreed to a partnership in which they will utilise their shared knowledge to develop a “Racing Hard” tyre for use in the FIA Formula 1, Formula 2, and Formula 3 Championships, alongside the Japanese Super Formula Championship, GT World Challenge, British GT, the Supercars Championship, and the World Endurance Championship.
Pirelli will remain the sole tyre supplier for Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3, GT World Challenge, and the British GT Championship, while Yokohama Tire continues to do the same for Super Formula, Dunlop for the Supercars Championship, and Michelin for World Endurance Championship.
The Racing Hard tyre allows for drivers to push from the moment the lights go out, to when the flag drops. We believe this will create more exciting on-track action and be more enjoyable for the drivers.
Under this agreement, sidewall branding may display any of the four brands, no matter the tyre provider for a specific series.
Racing Soft Tyre
In the event of a drying track wherein a car is currently equipped with Intermediate or Wet tyres for the first time and is entering the pits to switch to a dry compound, the Global Motorsport Federation (hereinafter GMF) have asserted that drivers will be required to fit a brand new “Racing Soft” tyre developed by The Four, in order to ensure drivers can push to the maximum, without regards to lesser grip produced by harder compounds.
Once this has been fulfilled, tyre choice from then on is unrestricted.
Racing Soft Tyre Special Condition
In the event that a vehicle comes equipped with Racing: Soft tyres, that compound is to be used for the race start, and the Racing: Hard tyre may only be equipped during a pit stop.
The same regulation is in place should a car come with Racing: Medium tyres as standard.

Update: New regulations for setting the grid order and options for multi-race seasonal series events
No event in the career is run under a reverse grid system. The career documents are currently being updated to reflect this change, and so you may notice this in a certain event’s details - please refer to this section of the post in that case.
———
All license events are seasonal racing series’. All events within the “Seasonal Championships” section of the Endurance League are seasonal racing series’.
All other leagues which have a dedicated driver’s tab above the drop-down header are league-long championships.
Your starting position for the first race of each league-long championship league is pre-set, with the AI grid order being randomised by the player.
The next race after the first in the league, and all following races, for all future events in that league, the grid order is determined by the previous race results.
———
For the first race in a seasonal racing series, or a league in which each event is its own contained championship (noted at the top of the league), the grid position for the player will be pre-determined, and the AI grid order assigned in a random order by the player.
For each race after the first, the grid order will be determined by the previous race results. This is in effect for all leagues unless otherwise specified, all licenses, and every event in the career unless noted.
This also means that, if you finish the first event of a league, the grid order for the first race of the second event is determined by the results of event 1’s final race.
———
If an event is a seasonal racing series, the results of the final race do not set the grid for the event/series below that, which is its own individual championship. That next event’s grid order is pre-set as per the event details, and after the first race, the grid order is determined by the previous race results.
Once the final race is reached in a seasonal series, you can either start a new season (starting that same series over again) in which the grid order is determined by the final race results of the previous season, or move on to the next series below, in which your starting position for the first race is pre-set as per the event details.

For seasonal series’ events with two or three races in a single round (Super Formula excluded), an option to play only one, two, or all three races in a round is now included.
Please note that these changes are still being applied to the career documents, and as such, the event details may not yet reflect these changes. Please refer to this part of the post if that is the case.

With the regulations out of the way, the racing can begin! Take your first step either by participating in the Beginner League, or obtaining a Tier 5 license through karting events. In each league, you face set drivers which are the same from the first race of a league, to the last, and some can carry over into the next league depending on their results.
Each driver's nationality is outlined beside their name in the Driver List, using the three letter code for their country.
For each tier of license and league, there are Google documents containing all of the event details.
The outline on the left side of the screen will allow you to jump to any specific race among the list. To expand a piece of text in the document, such as the "Beginner League" text, click on the little arrow to the left of the text.
There is also a "global" document, which contains all the licenses and leagues in one. I'll post that at the end of the individual license/league document spoiler tags.
A spreadsheet by @pritchyTim is also attached, allowing you to track both your progress, and the progress of other drivers you’re competing against across the leagues. Check back frequently for updates, as new licenses and leagues are added. Right now, the Beginner League is complete.
Lights out!
