GT7 Beginner's Guide to Manufacturer and Nations Championship

I put together this quick video to go over the basics of what to do to register and what to expect when starting your first Manufacturer or Nations Championship in Gran Turismo 7. So get registered and start practicing! I hope to see you out on the track. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments and I'll do my best to get an answer back to you.

[@THIS---GUY]

Appreciate the video and comments - found all i was looking for.

[@geauxgreddy]

Awesome l probably need to do another one since it's changed a little. But, glad you found what you needed. 😎👍

[@scottwoodtraining]

Great video. Having never played the online component I'm a little intimated by these choices so the explanation helps a lot! Thanks!

[@geauxgreddy]

Glad to help! The championships are a lot of fun. Shoot me a friend request I’ll add ya and then you can look to join the practice lobbies. (Search lobbies by friends). This weekend is going to be fast and furious. 3 races in 3 days.

You're welcome!

[@janjeyk9666]

Great video! Not sure if I understood correctly but you most likely won’t have to change the tires in that 5 lap race due to tire wear right ? Only if the weather will change from dry to wet e.g. it can be considered. Also was setting a lap in free practice and wanted to watch my replay but I can only watch the replays of the top 10 guys as you have shown in the video. Any way how I can watch my personal best apart from saving every replay manually ?

[@geauxgreddy]

Correct, you won't need to change tires unless it rains. And I do believe you have to save your personal best replay to watch it. No easy work around that I know of.

[@rover1374]

Thanks for the video - very helpful. I don’t understand how you can start at the beginning, middle or end of the championship? Can you also explain how to calculate the fuel/tire wear? I’ve been doing lots of dailies but have avoided races that aren’t x1.

[@geauxgreddy]

Because your rank is on total points earned. So, there is no reason why you cant start in the middle of a season, you'll just be ranked lower. You are not required to do every race, your odds of ranking higher will be greater if you do each round but it's not required. For tire wear and fuel use. 1st tires, you have to set up a lobby with the same settings and just see how long you can go. When your times on the softer compound exceed the time you can set on the harder compound, you need to switch. However, if the pit stop is longer than the time you made up by being on the softer compound, then you have to consider a no stop on the harder compound. In other words, math. Lol. OR you can watch kzbin.info he does all the hard work and gives you the winning strategies. Fuel, same thing, have to set up a lobby and see how long your fuel lasts. Use the fuel meter on your HUD. Itll tell you how many laps you have left. See if short shifting and not pitting is faster than pitting. Or just join a race and see what the top finisher does. Save the replay and do the same thing. Or, watch Mistah mca. Lol. No easy answer other.than copy the top guys. Good luck! Have fun!

[@rover1374]

@@geauxgreddy Awesome, thanks mate. The ability to join mid way through makes sense. Not everyone can commit to every race so it’s good they don’t have that barrier to access them.

Thanks, Keep at it!!. Those tenths will come off.

[@Trackstar1319]

@@geauxgreddy Could you explain how the points system works for winning races? I finished 1st last night with the pole and fastest lap and only got 100 points. I notice today that some drivers in my leave received 130+ points. Am I missing out in points?

[@geauxgreddy]

@@Trackstar1319 If you won the race, you will receive the most points IN THAT RACE. However, some people you raced with raced again in a later time slot. If they got into a higher lobby, they have the opportunity for more points (as people quit playing during the evening, you can get pulled up into higher ranked lobbies as it match makes from the top down). So, if they start in say 10th in a higher ranked lobby but 6 people crash and say they pass 2 more, they could get quite a few more points than finishing 8th in a lower ranked lobby. Its all a gamble though. I'd probably take my 1st place points and run unless I was pretty certain I had the pace to do well in a higher ranked lobby. I'm in a pretty high split, so I know my competitors pretty well, I know that getting pulled into the top split is NOT in my best interest a majority of the time. In a lower ranked lobby, someone like yourself could benefit from going again if you have really good pace.

[@Trackstar1319]

Thanks for the info this is very helpful. I won my 3 races in the Nations Cup and with it only taking the two best I received 199 points. That was good for 2nd in Florida and 28th in North America for GT2. I am hoping I get ranked up to A soon as most my competition is A/S so I think I am close. Then maybe I can start earning more points and see where I rank among the A and A+ competition.

[@jdsmoove]

Very helpful video for a beginner like myself so thank you! I did have a question, can you race directly against a friend during this cup or is that a thing you’d have to get lucky with?

[@geauxgreddy]

You're welcome. Rooms are based on Driver Rating (0-100,000 points) and they match make from the top down. If you have nearly the same driver rating you could get lucky and get matched up. If your friend is say a C rated driver and you are a B rated driver, then no, pretty unlikely you'd be matched. If you are both E rated drivers (first online race) then you could get lucky. You used to be able to check your exact DR Score on www.KudosPrime.com, but GT7 has been stingey with revealing DR ratings. So, no way to tell yet. Mine is at around 68,000 points carried over from GTS. Only reason I know mine. Good Luck and Have Fun!

[@jdsmoove]

@@geauxgreddy Thank you for this!

[@craigtaylor7734]

Hey, nice video. I’ve noticed people have say 77 points scored in round 2 when looking over the score boards but is more than 1st place gets. I’ve tried doing a couple of the same races in a day and it seems to just record my best points finish, can you explain this?

[@geauxgreddy]

Yes, as your DR and SR increases, you get into higher ranked lobbies (GT7 matches racers in the lobby based on driver rating (DR)). The higher the ranking of the lobby the more points available to get. The highest rated lobbies, the winner can get in the 400s with last place around 180 or so. Only your last race that you participate in for that round counts. Hope that helps.

[@RikarudoBK]

Great video, thanks a lot. I just have a question: do you know why other players has a lot of points, like 64pts the 1st place regional, but it's just the 1st round of this season 2. I really don't get it, they play a lot of races in the same round and accumulate point or how? I've tried to do that but I don't have the time, so I played 2 races in the 1st round but the points doesn't accumulated (I had 7th and 5th places eventually), now in this round 2 (manufacturers cup, by the way) I got 4th and 1st place, I'm just waiting for the official results tomorrow to see what happens. Thanks for reading me!

[@geauxgreddy]

This season has 3 rounds, you can enter about 10 race slots per round. Only the last race you do per round counts for that round. Only the highest of your three rounds count towards your standing. Nothing adds up this season. To get more points you need to finish higher in higher rated lobbies. To get into higher rated lobbies you need to increase your DR. Again, the last race per round goes on your record for that round. Your highest round counts towards your standing in this 3 Round exhibition season. Round 1 Nurburgring GP, Round 2 St Croix C, Round 3 Fuji. Hope that helps. 😎👍

[@ziaetinpekmestzis9893]

Great video! Keep posting! I have a question, how come a DR D guy has more points than me (DR C) who i came first in all rounds?

[@geauxgreddy]

Only two ways 1) if he had a higher DR during the GTWS, then lost it in Daily races and now shows DR D. 2) What's your SR? If its not S you arent scoring many points. Non S ranked SR drivers are In what we call the "naughty lobby". They devalue the points total quite a bit for the non S safety rating lobbies. If you arent S, go do a daily race and dont touch anyone. May take awhile but you need an S safety rating.

[@ziaetinpekmestzis9893]

@geauxgreddy ok I understand now, thank you for your quick response

[@MustangChuck]

Thanks for this. I’m doing my first manufacturers cup race in the GT3 division tomorrow night when I get off work. You mentioned back then that tire wear from qualifying carried over when you start the race. Is this still true?

That does suck. BUT, I have a work around! Start an account in Australia or the UK, somewhere that is racing when you're off work. You'll need to set up a google email and start a new PSN ID.

@@Goodnuggz Just start a new PSN account (not plus) on the same playstation. If the primary account on that playstation is your original account, anyone who signs on can both play GT7 and play online. The new account does not need to be from the same region and does not need PS+. When you open GT7 for the first time on the new account, you select your region and state, that's when you select where. I may do a video on this since it seems to be a common issue. And, make sure I'm not misleading anyone, but I had 2 alt accounts, one for nations and one for daily races and neither have PS+ or their own game.

Hi, are all gr3 and gr4 cars the same? Or will it be a problem if you choose the wrong manufacturer? Like, are some cars manufacturers better then others?

[@geauxgreddy]

No, they are not the same. The best way to figure out which car you want to go with is to try them on the tracks when the season is revealed. But, you have to own them to try them. I'd suggest one but I think they're going to balance them a bit better after this test season. So, not sure where they're going to land. Also, the type of season..high tire wear? Dont want FWD or awd. High fuel usage races, want something that gets good mileage, and on and on.

[@dunkinganddriving]

Hey greddy. I was wondering what happens with the points and results of races. I ran my first race today finished 2nd I hear if run another race today (the nurburgring 24h) and lets say I finish 6th and get a lower point tally , it'll count the last race ran. so I keep the lower point tally on my official results. I just wanna race but I dont want to jeopardize my global ranking. I dont understand the mechanic yet. Thank you sir!

[@geauxgreddy]

That is correct. If you finish 1st and get say 100 points, then race again and mess up and finish p9 for 60 points, you keep 60 points for that round. I got 0 points because my screen froze 😢

[@highwindnj3595]

Now, I have a question. If you end up missing a round of either Cup, can you still compete in the next round? (E.G. if I am unavailable to compete in round 1, can I jump in during round 2 the next week?)

[@geauxgreddy]

Yes, you can miss rounds, start in the middle, start at the end, doesnt matter. Also, the two championship series aren't tied together. So, you can race 1 or both series. I usually only run the Manufacturer Cup. Just don't have time for both. The Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup is counting your best 4 of 7 rounds.

[@MTBFichtelhills]

Great Video but I don’t know about the points. I‘m driving in GT2. First round i can’t race. The second race I won it and I get 65 points for the first place. But I checked the leader board and there‘re people after the second race with 140+ points. How is that possible? For a 1 place you earn 65 points in GT2 after two races is a maximum of 130points possible right? Why other drivers get more points?

[@geauxgreddy]

Your points depend on the difficulty of the lobby you're in. We call them splits. They matchmake from the top (top split) on down based on your driver rating. Top split A+ can get into the 400 point range. Winning an A rated lobby will get you in the high 100s like 180ish. Only your last race counts. So, if you get 1st and 65 points at 6pm and race that same race later that night and get say 6th place and 40 points.at 10pm, then 40 points is all you get for that race. Not 105.

[@nivek1095]

Question can you take part manufacturers and nations cup if your country is not recognized by PSN. For people who live innthe caribbean for example... we have to register with a fake us adress or sone other country Does it matter that your adress is fictitious???

Is there any way that I can change the times of the races? I work nights and not able to really to take part of these (and I really want to)...

I've tried changing my area in the setting, the time on my PS5, but the time on GT7 remains the same. PLEASE 🙏 ANYONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO CHANGE THIS IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO ME!!! Even any ideas to set the races at either a later or earlier times are greatly appreciated!

You have to start an alt PSN Account (just need a gmail address) and when you sign into GT7 for the 1st time, you need to pick Alaska as your state.

Can you enter multiple races? For example the 20:00 and 21:00 and if so which race would be taken as your score?

Yes, I meant to say that in the video. If you enter again, you lose whatever points you had before and they are replaced with the points from the last slot you run. So, if you have a great 1st round, you may not want to go again if its points you are chasing.

[@geauxgreddy]

Higher ranked lobbies have more points available to win. As you win, your ranking goes up and you will be in lobbies with more available points. So, you could have raced again but you would've thrown away the 89 points and went home with whatever you got in your second race. I raced 1 race, finished 3rd, in a GT1 A+ lobby and got 264 points.

Its driver ranking. To make more points you need to increase your rank and get into better lobbies. Matchmaking starts from the top (highest ranked driver) and match makes going down.

No, you can rank up regardless of the league you are in G1 GT2 or GT3. You just cant get out of that league. So your points will only be compared to those in your league.

I do, the last race per round that you run is the points you keep for that round. You are placed in.lobbies based on your driver rating, A+ highest, E lowest. Lobby points are based on the total Driver rating in that lobby. Top split (highest rated drivers) can get 400+. Bottom split, single to low double digits. To get more points you have to increase your SPORT MODE driver rating. Thats online races with others in Daily Races or Championship series.

How do the points work? I ran all races this week, in one I finished second and have like 40 points total, and I see people with only 1 or 2 races and they have like 70/80 points, is it that if you run every hour you accumulate points? I thought you get only scored once on each day

[@geauxgreddy]

Every race that you finish in the top half (top 10) your driver rating increases. If you finish 1st, you cam gain 2,000 DR. About every 10,000 DR you go up a DR level. E, D, C, B, A, A+. When they matchmake for the races, they put together the lobbies from the highest 20 DR and then continue with the next 20, etc. etc. down the rankings. So the top 20 ranked drivers will be in what is called the top split. That lobby is worth around 400 points for 1st place. As they get down toward the E rated lobbies, 1st is only worth 10 points or so. As you move up the ranks, you can get more points because you'll be racing faster higher rated drivers. Only the last race you ran in each round counts. There are 9 rounds this season. They are taking your best 3 of 9 rounds by the end.

@@geauxgreddy Thanks a lot! Sorry one thing not clear , the 3 of 9 rounds, so for example in the tournament that is not racing for a brand, the blue one on the left forgot the name now 😛, I raced all races besides the rally one last night, so if I do the rest will take just my best 3 off all different kind of races?

[@shiitty2011]

@@geauxgreddy Do all championship races in the same day count towards your DR? Or just the final one like it does for points? Like if I race the first time slot, get 12th, then race a few more times and get 3rd on the final race, does my DR change with every race or just the one that counts at the end?

[@geauxgreddy]

All races count toward you driver ranking (DR) yes. This was something you used to be able to check on kidosprime.com after every race.

[@geauxgreddy]

@Gato F yes, for Nations it just takes your best 3. So, it’s in your best interest to keep trying if you didn’t beat one of those top 3 points you got earlier.

[@bsrodeo7s]

So, I have a question that nobody seems to be answering… the rankings. Manufacturers Cup just ended today. My rankings were… local rank secondary Los Angeles, 1st. Local main California 1st. Manufacturers Ferrari 15th. Regional North America, central, south, 368th. I am gt1, but someone said that those rankings aren’t correct. Can you explain? If you do, I’ll subscribe.

[@geauxgreddy]

Ya, the summary only shows your manu ranking for your country. So, it says 15th for ferarri, but in fact its 15th for ferrari in the US. Add in Canada and you may be 18th.

[@bsrodeo7s]

@@geauxgreddy are the local and secondary just for Ferrari? Or is that my overall ranking for those? 1st for Los Angeles, 1st for California?

[@geauxgreddy]

Yes, it shows your local ranking in the summary only for your manu for your county and state. So, you were #1 for Ferrari in LA and in Cali. You can get your states full ranking list in the detailed dropdowns during the season. After it goes to archives, not sure that you can see a full ranking list for your state, or county, top to bottom anymore.

Hey how many races count to your points per round

[@geauxgreddy]

There are 4 rounds in this test season, your last race per round is the only race that counts. I'm not sure of the 4 rounds how many they are counting this test season.

@@doodeyhead5055 Correct. They don't add up. There are what 5 race times (commonly called slots) per round? If you race all 5 slots and get 100, 90, 140, 15, and 97 points your total for that round will be 97 points.

You need to raise your DR (driver rating) Lobbies are filled highest to lowest ranked drivers. See my video on how DR is calculated (earned and lost)

What you get from wining in championship?

[@geauxgreddy]

They send the top drivers to a location to compete in the finals, like Momaco, New York, Nurbergring, Japan. If you win, you got a trophy, TGT, and a Tag Hauer watch.

@@geauxgreddy so ist about how many point you collect or race overall position ?

[@geauxgreddy]

Depends on how high your driver ranking is. The best drivers can get 400 points. Lower ranked lobbies are less. I'm ranked about 30 to 100 depending on the series. I'm a mid high A+ driver. If I win a race I get 296 points. P5 about 240 or so.

[@BishopRealTalk98]

Good video. But you didn't talk about the point system.

[@BishopRealTalk98]

@@geauxgreddy Once 'test season' is done, will the real season's be different? Will there be championship rounds? Etc? Increased prize money? I'm new to the championship races. Thank you.

[@BishopRealTalk98]

And your followers informed me about the point system. Thanks

[@geauxgreddy]

Interesting question because with the division of GT1, GT2, and GT3 there could be championships for all 3 classes. And, when the official season starts, there will certainly be championships. They used to take the top 16 for nations and top 16 of the Manufacturers from each region and had a tournament with world finalists going to a location like Morocco or New York, etc. No real prize money unless you finish in the top 3. Then it was a TGT wheel, TAG Heurer watch, and a trophy. You did get credits if your manufacturer won it all or your nation made it to the semi finals. For us outside the top 16 in our region, bragging rights was the prize. It’s a bit of a wait and see, but it will likely be very similar to what we saw in GT sport.

[@nilsdevos8892]

How do people have 70 points after 1 round while you can only earn 35?

[@geauxgreddy]

They are in a lobby with higher rated drivers. You need to raise your DR to get in higher ranked lobbies. See my video on how DR is calculated and earned or lost.

I am now learned! The trophy awarded to the winners at the World Finals is a scaled-down version of "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space" by Italian sculptor Umberto Boccioni. The process in creating this trophy was a long and arduous one, taking two years to complete. So ya, little running man. 😂
