I’ve been doing a bit of digging into the GT7 leaderboard data on the web side and ended up building a small local tool to scrape and analyse time trial results (purely for personal use / curiosity).
The site exposes a carCode value in the payload for each entry, and I’m now at the point where I’d like to map that to actual car names and manufacturers so the data becomes a bit more meaningful to work with.
Before I go down the route of building a one-off scraper against the car list pages, I thought I’d ask:
👉 Has anyone already mapped carCode → car name / manufacturer from the GT7 API?
I’m assuming some of the companion apps / dashboards might already have this sitting around.
If not, no problem — I’ll build the lookup myself — but figured it was worth checking before reinventing it.
Happy to share what I’ve put together so far if it’s useful to anyone 👍
