How to start or join online lobbies in Gran Turismo 7

After spending a bit of time on Gran Turismo 7, players will unlock the ability to join or start multiplayer lobbies and take part in the daily trial challenges in the Sport mode. These are two separate portions of World Mode and have their own lobbies.

After unlocking these, players can use them at their leisure in Gran Turismo 7 to race against other players online.

After unlocking online lobbies, two options await in Gran Turismo 7

The first mode is Multiplayer, where players can either enter a lobby or join a 2-player Split Screen mode instead. Upon entering the mode, players will see potential lobbies to join, but they can also be filtered by showing only full rooms or only rooms with friends in them.

This will make it easier to find friends in-game and join them for races. However, if a player wants to start their lobby, it’s also an incredibly simple thing.

Creating a lobby in Gran Turismo 7’s multiplayer

• Enter World Mode
• Navigate to the “Multiplayer” icon at the docks
• Select “Lobby”
• Click “Create Lobby”
• Name the room
• Select the desired number of players, room type, and other desired settings
• Click “Create Room”

Players have many options when it comes to online lobbies. They can have up to 200 laps and race on many tracks. The player can choose the type of start, turn on mechanical damage, show damage, turn on fuel consumption, and so much more. The races can be as casual or serious as the player desires.

Entering Sport for Daily Trials in Gran Turismo 7

There is Sport mode for those who prefer more serious, competitive modes. The mode has a daily race that players can participate in, alongside Championships, consisting of multiple rounds. Based on the player’s performance, they will receive points to take the #1 spot.

Players also have to be aware of being sportsmanlike. Running into other cars or the walls of a track will result in penalties that the player is forced to take at the end of a lap.

How to join a Sport race

• Enter World Mode
• Navigate to Sport icon
• Click the “Daily Race” tab
• Join the current desired race, if one is presently available

Players will have the opportunity to make sure their settings are in order and do warm-up laps on the track to get ready to go. This will last a few minutes, and the actual race will not start until everyone is prepared.

These are serious races where players have to obey the rules and be as sportsmanlike as possible to avoid penalties. This is how players will gain access to the various online multiplayer races, whether they want to be competitive or just blast around a track with a few friends.
