Hi everyone,

I've been building a standalone ESP32 dashboard for Gran Turismo 7.

The ESP32 connects directly to GT7 telemetry over Wi-Fi, so after the initial setup there is no PC and no SimHub required.

Current features include:

  • Auto PS5 discovery
  • Current / Last / Best lap times
  • Live delta
  • RPM / gear / speed
  • Throttle and brake
  • Position and lap info
  • Fuel level and estimated remaining laps
  • Four-wheel tyre temperatures
  • ABS / TCS indicators
  • Automatic sleep / wake
It currently supports the ESP32-2432S028 2.8" boards with both ILI9341 and ST7789 displays.
For anyone who wants to try it, I also made a browser-based installer:

GitHub / Source Code

The project originally started from the SIMHUB ESP32 SUNTON Screen project, but has since been substantially rewritten to work as a standalone GT7 dashboard.

For the GT7 telemetry side, MacManley's gt7-udp project has also been an important reference, especially for understanding the GT7 UDP packets and newer Packet C data.

Thanks to everyone in the GT7 telemetry community whose reverse-engineering work made projects like this possible.

A small update to the project 🙂

I've been working on the dashboard a bit more, and it now has 4 different themes that can be switched directly on the device:

Classic / GT3 / Radar / Retro

I also added a shift indicator that follows GT7's in-game shift timing, rather than just using a fixed RPM threshold.

Screen brightness is adjustable now too.

Everything still runs directly on the ESP32 — no PC or SimHub needed.

Here are the four themes:

UPDATE: 8/23

Two new themes: Mono & Pocket

Mono

A clean, minimal monochrome dashboard.
High contrast, simple layout, and only the information you need — designed to stay clear and readable at a glance while driving.

Pocket
Inspired by the classic green-screen look of handheld gaming.
Pixel-style graphics, a subtle green LCD feel, and a simple retro layout give it a bit of that old-school Game Boy-era character — but with GT7 telemetry.

Same dashboard, six very different moods.
