Why Gran Turismo 7 Needs Team Racing with Driver Swaps

As an avid fan of racing simulators, I have always appreciated the attention to detail and realism that Gran Turismo 7 brings to the table. However, there's one crucial feature that I believe is holding GT7 back from its true potential: the absence of team racing with driver swaps.

Other racing sims like iRacing and Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) have long embraced this feature, allowing players to experience the thrill and strategy of endurance racing as part of a team. With the launch of new racing titles like Evo, it's high time that GT7 steps up and offers something new to keep up with the competition.

Team racing with driver swaps is not just a gimmick—it's a fundamental aspect of competitive racing. It adds a layer of strategy, communication, and camaraderie that is currently missing in GT7. By incorporating this feature, GT7 would not only cater to the existing player base but also attract a larger audience of racing enthusiasts who are passionate about multiplayer league races.

The GT7 community has a vibrant and dedicated scene of league racers who thrive on the challenge and excitement of competitive multiplayer. Introducing team racing with driver swaps would enhance their experience, making races more dynamic and immersive. Imagine coordinating with your teammates, planning pit stops, and executing flawless driver changes—all while maintaining a competitive edge.

Gran Turismo 7 has always been a pioneer in the racing sim world, and it's time for them to embrace this essential feature. As racing enthusiasts, we deserve the full experience of what it means to be part of a team, pushing the limits of our skills and cars together.

It happens already.

My take? I don't think Gran Turismo 7 in particular needs that. But what I will say is that I think Gran Turismo 8 would greatly benefit from it, and I mention that because I think it's really down to technical limitations, especially when it comes to larger grids and potentially longer races. It's not unlike how I genuinely hope we get dynamic weather at many more locales at least in GT8 if not in 7, namely Daytona, Brands Hatch, Watkins Glen, and Interlagos.

Team-based races would be amazing.

If they implement team-based GTWS endurance races in future where you sign up with a friend or two and take turns doing stints, I can imagine needing help to pry me out of my rig and the PSVR off my head because I'll be hooked. 😅
