Toyota and Gran Turismo have announced Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup 2022. This is one of the three championships conducted online via Gran Turismo’s Sport Mode, and the first to run on the new sequel Gran Turismo 7.
TGR GT Cup 2022 will have seven qualifying rounds starting on May 15. All of the cars for the seven qualifying rounds have been revealed, which sees the inclusion of the old but gold Castrol Tom’s Toyota Supra GT500, a choice between the twin cars of the Subaru BRZ or the Toyota GR86, and a new car yet to be added in GT7.
That new car would be the Toyota GR010 Hybrid, the Hypercar class challenger competing in this year’s World Endurance Championship, and will be racing at this year’s 24 Hours Of Le Mans. Appropriately, the TGR GT Cup round in which the car will be featured will have you racing in Circuit de la Sarthe.
That round will be held on June 5, a few days before the start of this year’s Le Mans.
We have yet to see a content update for GT7 yet, the updates earlier this month were to address issues pertaining to the game economy (it’s way, way too grindy) that had caused a massive backlash among fans.
Between now and early June, expect at least one new car, presumably placed in GT’s Gr.1 category, to be added.
The full schedule and rules for the TGR GT Cup 2022 can be found here. The event will have an offline finals planned to be held in November.
