Gran Turismo’s official channels have announced a competition that could see the best livery creators winning the chance to race against personalities, and even have the liveries featured in the game.
The GT7 Design Competition launches today and runs through until Wednesday March 23, and tasks players to create vehicle liveries inspired by the five content creators within Gran Turismo 7.
These creators will also act as judges for the entries dedicated to them. GT7 players should already know Bring Me The Horizon, the UK-based alt-metal group responsible for a cover of Moon Over The Castle, which you’ll find on the GT7 official soundtrack, Find Your Line. A second creator, David Adedeji Adeleke — or “Davido” — also features on the OST, as part of the track Vroom.
Also included on the panel is gaming YouTube/Twitch streamer David Canovas Martinez, better known as “Grefg”, US rapper Faheem Rasheed Najm — or “T-Pain” — and Minecraft YouTuber Nathan “Unspeakable” Graham.
Players wishing to enter the competition should create a livery in the GT7 Livery Editor that is, in some way, inspired by one of these creators. Once made and photographed — either in Scapes or a race replay photomode — they should submit the livery on Instagram and/or Twitter, tagging the creator in question and including the #GT7DesignCompetition hashtag. Only your first entry counts, so take your time…
There are some specific restrictions on what your liveries can features, although they are what you’d expect. Designs can’t feature anything that would violate the PlayStation Network code of conduct — nudity, profanity, abuse, harassment, violent imagery, and so on — and can’t use third-party logos for which Sony doesn’t have usage rights.
The competition is also only open to players aged 18 or over, and legally resident in Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the USA — although not territories, possessions, and military installations outside the 50 States and DC.
Once the competition closes, the creators will judge all of the entries submitted to them, drawing winners before March 27. The five winning entries will then be featured as an in-game custom livery for a two-week period in April, while the designers will be invited to a live streamed race with their chosen creator.
