What brings you the most joy in Gran Turismo 7?
I am squarely in the “Zen” column. While I enjoy the things that earn credits in the game (Single Player Races, Online Time Trials, Circuit Experiences, etc.) I find myself enjoying the more relaxing parts of Gran Turismo even more.
I will take a simple road car – e.g. 1981 Porshe 911 930 – turn off all the U.I. bits, pick a track and just drive the car in V.R. What makes me smile is going through the tunnel of Deep Forest at dawn in a BMW Z8 and watching the tunnel lights reflect off the dashboard, or even just stopping before the first tunnel and listing (and watching) the waterfall for a moment. Taking a C4 ZR1 on Grand Valley Highway 1 and just hot lapping as I watch the sunset. Or a Honda S600 on the Horse Thief Mile to see how well I can maintain momentum. No clocks, no other cars to draft. Just me, the car and the road.
Also, I’ve taken quite a while working on a livery for a car. I started doing this meticulously during my time in Gran Turismo Sport and it’s carried over to this game. Working sporadically on a project during the week (between online races) I’ll normally get a car done in about 5 days or so, driving the car in sport mode just because I like the way it looks.
I’ll even take a car I love in my garage to the café, just to see if anyone there cares.
Again, I love to race! The sense of accomplishment I get from a gold in the master licenses and circuit experience will always keep me coming back for more. Since the update I’m now more motivated to finish the races in single player mode I haven’t done so far. And don’t get me started on the Online Time Trials . . .
But what about you? What is it that brings you the most joy in Gran Turismo?
