With the real-world 24 Hours of Le Mans running this very weekend, Gran Turismo 7 sends you out onto the full 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit in Gr.1 hypercars on Racing Soft tires.
Of course, four of the eligible cars just arrived to the game today. Update 1.70 brought four new LMH and LMDh prototypes into the game: the Porsche 963 ’24, Ferrari 499P ’23, BMW M Hybrid V8 ’25 and Peugeot 9X8 ’25. They join the Toyota GR010 HYBRID ’21, and all five are eligible here.
Le Mans is everywhere this week, with the circuit also taking center stage in the Weekly Challenges, so there’s a heavy focus on La Sarthe across the board. These cars were built to race here, which makes the pairing about as natural as GT7 combos get.
As for which one to run, everyone will have a favorite. But an early look at the leaderboard suggests the Porsche 963 is the car to beat.
One Week Left at Deep Forest
There’s also still a week to go on last week’s event, which puts the Toyota 86 GRMN ’16 around Deep Forest Raceway Reverse on Comfort Medium tires. That one closes on June 18.

Accessing Online Time Trials
If you’ve not jumped into one of these before, you’ll first need to unlock Sport Mode by completing Menu Book 9 (“Championship: Tokyo Highway Parade”) in the GT Cafe. There’s no need for a PlayStation Plus subscription to take part. See our full unlock guide here.
Once an event closes, prizes go out based on how close you got to the fastest lap: gold for anyone within 3% of the top time (2,000,000cr), silver within 5% (1,000,000cr) and bronze within 10% (250,000cr).
New events arrive every Thursday, and each runs for two weeks with the oldest dropping off as a fresh one appears. The next new Online Time Trial lands on June 18.
