The registration period for the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing GT CUP (TGR GT Cup) 2023 is drawing to a close, with esports racing enthusiasts only having a few days left to sign up for the exciting tournament that places competitors behind the wheel of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) lineup. Seven qualifying rounds will be hosted online in ‘Gran Turismo 7’ for PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4 before the top 24 players race for glory during the grand final in November, which will be held in conjunction with the Gran Turismo World Series.
For this year’s TGR GT Cup, racing fans do not need to buy or own their cars to enter. In addition to garage (owned) cars, competitors can take part using cars rented exclusively for the event. Entering is easy by following these simple steps
Step 1: Launch Gran Turismo 7 (GT7)
If the PS4 or PS5 system software and Gran Turismo 7 version are not up-to-date, online functions will not be available. Also, please note that updating may take some time.
Step 2: Select “World Map”
On the Gran Turismo 7 screen, select "World Map". Players who are launching the game for the first time will only see the "Music Rally" option. The Music Rally must be completed in order for the World Map to be displayed.
Step 3: TOYOTA GAZOO Racing GT Cup Entry Registration
Enter the "Sport" pavilion located in the upper right corner of the world map. Completion of the Menu Book in the "Cafe" pavilion is required to open the Sport pavilion. Other pavilions will open according to the level. Select the "TOYOTA GAZOO Racing GT Cup" icon displayed in the lower "CHAMPIONSHIPS" section, followed by the "Enter" button to fill out the entry form and questionnaire.
Step 4: Race Entry
After completing the entry registration, players may proceed to the Race Entry screen and select the desired entry closing time (event time). Once entry registration is complete, participants may practice on the same course as the race by selecting "Free Practice". When the entry start time arrives, the "Entry" button will appear.
