Gran Turismo 7 Racing Lines: Braking References, Apex & Corner Exit
Practice Gran Turismo 7 racing lines by holding the car and conditions steady and improving one corner at a time.

Gran Turismo 7 Racing Lines: Braking References, Apex & Corner Exit
A useful racing line connects the braking zone, turn and exit. Carrying more speed into the corner is not an improvement if it forces a poor exit onto the following straight.
Hold the comparison steady
Choose the same car, tires and track conditions for the test. GT7's Quick Menu provides race information and access to car, assist and controller settings. Record the setup before comparing laps.
Choose a braking reference
Use a stable trackside marker that you can identify on every lap. Begin conservatively, then adjust the braking point in small steps. If you cannot repeat the entry, do not change the turn-in point and car setup at the same time.
Connect the apex with the exit
Decide where you want the car to finish the corner. Use an entry that lets you reach that position without repeated corrections. On a corner before a long straight, compare the speed and control you carry onto that straight rather than only the speed shown at turn-in.
Learn linked corners as a sequence
If the first turn leaves the car on the wrong side for the next one, change the first exit. The shortest line through one corner may create a worse approach to the following section.
Use time-trial feedback
The official manual includes ghost settings for time trials. Use a comparable ghost as a reference for where you gain or lose time, then practice the specific sector. A ghost with a different car or tire condition is not a controlled setup comparison.
Bring the line into traffic
Leave space when another car occupies the ideal path. Choose a safe alternate entry and prioritize a clean exit over forcing the solo line. Track limits, contact and race rules still apply when the lap is not a time trial.
These are practice principles; they do not claim one braking marker works for every car, compound, weather condition and fuel load.
