Gran Turismo Sport Trophy Guide

Information technology's been nearly a decade since PlayStation introduced PSN Trophies. Those start games back in July 2008 awarded players with accolades they could testify off on their public profiles.

Like all games since and so, GT Sport supports PSN Trophies. We covered what they were dorsum earlier Sony launched the game, but GT Sport'south are some of the rarest out at that place. But 0.1% of all of the game's players take ever won the 4 most difficult trophies. That'south even more rare than Gran Turismo 6'due south 0.viii%, and makes Grand Theft Machine V's 0.4% expect similar a breeze.

Those are rookie numbers, so nosotros've put together a guide for anyone wanting to score that GT Sport platinum.

Walkthrough

Dissimilar some story-led games, you tin can't miss whatever of GT Sport's trophies. This means that, effectively, y'all can acquire them in whatever order you wish.

It's pretty probable that if you just play the game for long enough, you lot'll pick upwards all 41 trophies naturally. Only a couple of them require any specific process outside what you'll accomplish playing the game normally, so if you're not in a hurry it doesn't matter how yous go about it.

Yet, if the Platinum is a specific goal, nosotros'd recommend the following order:

Campaign Mode: Driving School
Campaign Mode: Mission Claiming
Campaign Mode: Circuit Experience
Globe-trotting
Driving Challenges
Gameplay Challenges
Sport Mode
Levelling Up

We cover each of these sections, and the trophies yous'll win, beneath.

Campaign Mode – Driving School

Talent Discovered (Bronze): Earned Bronze in all Driving School challenges
No Longer a Novice (Silver): Earned Gold in all Driving School challenges
A Promise of Greatness (Bronze): Completed whatever Driving School challenge at least 1 second faster than the Gold fourth dimension

It'due south likely that you'll score all three of these trophies just from completing the Driving School department of the game. If you manage to at least pass all 48, you lot'll receive the Talent Discovered trophy.

Naturally it depends on your skill level, but none of the tests are especially challenging to get the gold on. Possibly the most difficult are lessons 35 and 36. The onetime has a tight fourth dimension limit and uses a difficult section of Willow Springs, while the latter is a long run at the Nordschleife where it'southward like shooting fish in a barrel to brand errors. The rally test lesson 45 is another that may run you close. Nevertheless it shouldn't be beyond the wit of too many seasoned GT players to get all-gold with ease for the No Longer a Novice trophy.

There'south surprisingly few tests where the gold time is excessively generous though. You'll need to beat one past over a second to win A Hope of Greatness. The earliest opportunity is examination 21, "Cornering in an Due south-Bend: 2". Only for a lift during the offset left, this lesson is entirely total-throttle and yous can beat it by well over a second. Other than that the total lap events, like lesson 24 and 48, are your all-time bet, as the long durations mean it'due south piece of cake to find a second.

Entrada Manner – Mission Challenge

The Real Sector Rex (Bronze): Earned Gold in all Sector Rex challenges in Mission Challenge
I Lap Wonder (Statuary): Earned Golden in all One-lap challenges in Mission Claiming
Pylon Male monarch (Bronze): Earned Aureate in all Pylon challenges in Mission Claiming
Relentless Chaser (Bronze): Earned Gold in all Catch Upward challenges in Mission Challenge
Right on Time (Bronze): Earned Gilt in all Fourth dimension Rallies in Mission Claiming
Rival Crusher (Bronze): Earned Aureate in all Mission Challenge races
Speed Demon (Bronze): Earned Gold in all Speed challenges in Mission Challenge
Super Rallier (Bronze): Earned Gilt in all Special Rallies in Mission Challenge
Speed King (Bronze): Recorded a speed of 187 mph (approx. 300km/h)

If you simply gilt all of the Mission Challenge events, you'll proceeds all 8 trophies. In fact one of the eight is just awarded for this accomplishment, and you lot'll naturally have to win all of the others to get it!

However, for those of you keeping score, three of the trophies require you to win just one outcome each. These are the one-lap challenge (2-7), the catch-up challenge (iv-two) and the pylon — or cone — challenge (1-four). In that location are four speed challenges, five special rallies, five time rallies and fifteen "Sector King" events. That leaves 32 race events to mop up the final trophy.

The cone challenge is possibly the easiest one. But guide your Alfa Romeo MiTo into the 10 groups of ten cones and hit them all inside the time limit. The speed challenges crave you to hit a certain maximum speed. These tin exist catchy, but if you catch as much slipstream every bit y'all can from AI cars information technology shouldn't take too many tries.

For One Lap Wonder you'll need to hit a lap better than 1:37.300 at Brands Hatch GP in a Gr.4 Mercedes. It'due south relatively generous, just feel free to try the Circuit Experience for this rail (in a much faster auto) if y'all need to get your bearings.

Relentless Attorney is a little odder. In this effect you have a preset time limit to overhaul a slower AI motorcar with a lap's advantage on you, around BB Raceway. Again, learning the course, peculiarly the speed you can behave through the right-hand kink, in Circuit Feel starting time may help.

The four Speed Challenge events are pretty elementary: you have to guide your car to the target speed. Avoid collisions with the AI, but make every bit much utilize of their slipstream as possible. Along with the Speed Demon bays you'll also score the Speed King trophy; it's likely to arrive when you golden mission three-5, and definitely will when you pass mission four-4.

The Special Rally events apply a small autocross course laid out within Northern Isle Speedway. You tin can employ any eligible car from your garage — any Gr.B rally auto — and it's pretty probable the game will award you one long before you demand it. These events can be frustrating, as the time limits are tight. Rather than sliding virtually likewise much, keeping the car under control is normally the quickest way here.

Time Rallies are rather like old school arcade games. A timer counts downwards, refreshing each fourth dimension you laissez passer a checkpoint. Beware of contact though, as that can reduce your remaining time. All you have to do is reach the end of the race with enough time remaining to win the golden, and the Right on Time trophy.

Sector King and Race events both require you lot to win. In Sector Male monarch you lot'll demand to overtake all of the cars in a single sector of the rails, while in Race yous'll have a number of laps to do and so. This is sometimes quite a few laps: the final races in the terminal tier of Mission Challenge are endurance events, where you'll need to manage fuel and tires to win.

Campaign Way – Circuit Experience

Globetrotter (Bronze): Earned Bronze in all Circuit Experiences
Tactical King (Silver): Earned Gilt in all Circuit Experiences

At that place's no other style to get these two trophies than simply hitting up Circuit Feel and beating every test.

The Circuit Experience section doesn't contain all of the tracks. In fact information technology'south just 23 of them, more often than not from the original release of the game. Each has a number of sections, followed by a full-lap challenge where you tie all of your gained knowledge together.

They vary from the eleven-section Nordschleife down to the two sections of BB Raceway and Blue Moon Bay. In fact Northern Isle is then short, it only has the full-lap claiming. BB Raceway'southward full lap test is actually two laps — nosotros don't know why either. Generally the gilded requirements for the sections are generous enough to laissez passer most with a few tenths to spare, while the full laps let for entire seconds.

As of the ane.13 update in February 2018, the Circuit Experience section got a little harder. This update added the Monza circuit to this part of the game. It's likely that time to come new locations will also eventually make their style to Circuit Feel.

If you pass all 111 tests, you'll earn the Globetrotter trophy. Laissez passer all at gold standard and you'll also win the Tactical Rex trophy.

Entrada Mode

Finale (Silverish): Unlocked the Ending Picture

One time yous've at to the lowest degree passed all of the various tests in Campaign Mode, you'll unlock the Finale trophy. All that you need is a statuary or better in every Circuit Feel, Driving School and Mission Challenge test, and the trophy is yours.

Driving – Drifting Trophies

Novice Drifter (Bronze): Earned a total of one,000 Drift Points
Decent Drifter (Bronze): Earned a total of 100,000 Drift Points
Top-Drawer (Statuary): Drifter Earned a total of 1,000,000 Drift Points

Drifting is an acquired taste, and a one thousand thousand drift points might seem like a challenge you lot just don't desire to do. Fear not, there's an piece of cake style effectually it.

GT Sport classifies globe-trotting as losing traction. If the back wheels are slipping, you're drifting — unless you're pointing the wrong mode or striking something. And GT Sport's Drift Way allows you to use rally courses. See where nosotros're going?

Head into Drift Style, pick a rally course — Colorado Springs is probably the best — and the Lancer Gr.B rally car from the arcade car selection. Now become "drifting".

You should rack upwards 12,000 points or so each time you try, and each attempt takes about xl seconds. For best results, plow the driving line on and stay as shut to it every bit you can while globe-trotting. Winning the three trophies should take under an hr.

Driving – Driving Challenges

First Victory! (Bronze): Recorded your first always victory!
Run, Run, Run! (Bronze): Earned your first Daily Conditioning
Welcome to the Nordschleife (Statuary): Completed your first lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife

It's extremely unlikely that you'll have got this far without picking upwards the Run, Run, Run trophy. That's awarded the very showtime time you consummate the daily marathon, of 26.ii miles driven on any i day in the existent earth. Yous don't have to bulldoze all 26.2 miles in ane sitting either, although you will do in several of the Mission Challenge 8 events.

You'll win the First Victory trophy the first time y'all win a race. Beware that fifty-fifty though the game labels some of the Driving Missions as Race, you will not win the trophy in that location. Y'all'll need to beat out an AI field in GT League, or Arcade Mode Single Race, or win whatever online race in Sport Style.

The Welcome to the Nordschleife has similar restrictions. You won't unlock it despite doing the required lap in Circuit Experience. Nonetheless whatever other lap in any other manner will count; but ensure it is the regular Nordschleife solitary, and not any other version of the circuit.

Driving – Distance Trophies

Experienced Commuter (Bronze): Drove for a total of 62.5 miles (approx. 100km)
Route 66 Racer (Statuary): Drove for a total of 2,451 miles (approx. 3,945km), the length of the Us's famous Route 66
King of the Ovals (Bronze): Drove a total of 500 miles (approx. 806km) on oval tracks
Endurance Racer (Bronze): Drove for a full of 24 hours

There shouldn't exist any need to chase down these trophies. In virtually all cases, they volition pop up naturally as function of your regular gameplay. Information technology'south probable that you'll run across the Experienced Driver trophy within your first day of play.

The others take a little flake more time, but once again should appear as you're pursuing the remainder of the trophies. On average you'll exist travelling at around 100mph while playing GT Sport, and so Route 66 Racer and Endurance Racer ought to appear pretty shut to each other.

King of the Ovals might have a petty more wrangling. Nevertheless, if yous're using the Blue Moon Bay method for the various level trophies above, it should announced in brusque order. If non, fix an Arcade Style Fourth dimension Trial at Blue Moon Bay and transport the fastest car y'all tin can discover off on a long distance run to rack up the remaining mileage you need.

Gameplay Challenges

My Offset Car (Statuary): Bought your first automobile
Collection ten (Bronze): Caused a full of 10 cars
Gift from Le Mans (Bronze): Took a Scapes shot featuring the Circuit de la Sarthe and the Audi R18 (Audi Sport Team Joest)
Gift from the Nürburgring (Bronze): Took a Scapes shot featuring the Nürburgring and a BMW Gr.iii car
Top Photographer (Bronze): Took 100 or more Scapes shots or race photos
The Amuse of Customization (Bronze): Showed off your first car customized with the Livery Editor
Tuning Addict (Bronze): Fully tuned a auto for the starting time time using Mileage Points.

These seven trophies are a mix of the obvious and the slightly less obvious. My Start Automobile is easy: just purchase a motorcar. Any machine will practice. Collection 10 is even easier, as you'll get this bays equally soon every bit you receive your tenth car. Y'all don't even have to practise anything, as this applies to cars the game awards yous for the various Campaign Fashion challenges and your 26.2-mile Daily Marathon.

The Souvenir trophies are not entirely every bit simple as that. For both you need to have your photograph in the Scapes section of the game; race replays will not do the job. For the Nurburgring trophy yous simply demand any of the three Gr.iii BMW race cars in the shot. For the Le Mans trophy you need a specific car: the Audi R18 TDI Audi Squad Sport Joest 2011. Thanks to the DLC update in December in that location are now three Audi R18s in the game, but merely this specific car volition trigger the trophy. You don't need to relieve either photo — the human activity of taking the photo alone is plenty.

This as well applies to the Pinnacle Photographer trophy. You'll demand to shoot 100 photos, but you don't have to save them and they don't accept to be different. Simply hitting the Shoot button, then the back button and repeat until y'all have 100 shots. This takes less than ten minutes and also gives you an in-game Achievement advantage.

Achieving the Amuse of Customization trophy is even quicker. The first fourth dimension y'all create and share a livery, the game awards yous the trophy. It doesn't fifty-fifty take to be a complicated livery, as even a alter of wheels or a new paintjob qualifies. Paint a car, save the livery and share it for your trophy.

Tuning Aficionado requires you to spend some of those difficult-won Mi points. Each auto has a preset range of power and weight adjustment, for the purposes of balancing the vehicles. Yous can "Level Up" these ranges by spending Mi points, simply be warned, this doesn't necessarily mean you tin make the machine more powerful or lighter. It simply increase the range of power and weight bachelor for that automobile. Some cars have only one or two levels for each, some accept half dozen, and y'all'll need to purchase all of them for any ane motorcar to become this trophy. The cheapest way nosotros've found then far is with the Suzuki Swift Sport, with 1,232 Mi points required.

Sport Mode

Master of Manners (Bronze): Unlocked Sport Way after Completing all Racing Etiquette Lessons
Certified Genius (Gold): Matched Ayrton Senna's tape of 65 pole positions
Record Number of Races (Gold): Matched Rubens Barrichello'southward record of 322 F1 races
Tape Number of Wins (Gold): Matched Michael Schumacher's record of 91 F1 victories

These trophies are monstrously hard. Well, not Master of Manners, which simply requires you to play the two Racing Etiquette videos, but the other three certainly.

You can only achieve these trophies in Sport Mode, racing in the Daily Races and FIA events. They are fairly cocky-explanatory; you lot simply have to win, start on pole position, or finish the required number of races.

The Record Number of Races trophy is the least difficult, as it only requires your willingness to suffer 322 races. Tape Number of Wins is a exam of skill, requiring you lot to beat out all of your fellow players in an online race at least 91 times. As the saying goes, you'll need to "git gud"…

However, Certified Genius is the luck of the draw, more than-or-less. Information technology depends on who the friction match-making software pairs you with and, unless yous prepare the fastest practise time worldwide, in that location'southward no guarantee of beingness on pole position for whatsoever given race.

There aren't actually whatsoever tips for achieving these iii trophies, but information technology's certainly easier to get pole positions and victories against lower-ranked players. Unless you're extremely good at GT Sport, maintaining a low Commuter Rating and Sportsmanship Rating might exist benign for these trophies.

Levelling Up

Newbie Driver (Statuary): Reached Level 15
Veteran Commuter (Statuary): Reached Level 25
Legendary Driver (Silver): Reached Level 40
Ultimate Driver (Golden): Reached Level l

The start 2 of these trophies volition exist amid your first. The terminal two are likely to be, forth with the three aureate Sport Mode trophies, virtually your terminal.

To achieve each trophy, you simply demand to accumulate plenty XP (experience points) to pass the required level boundary. Well-nigh everything you exercise in GT Sport gives yous XP, so it'due south just a question of getting enough of them.

For Level 15 y'all demand eight,755XP or more. Y'all can get more than that just from doing the Driving Schoolhouse and Mission Claiming sections. For Level 25 you'll need to pass 36,814XP. That's a little more difficult, simply you get 22,566XP for passing all of the Campaign Style, so information technology's non much to notice.

The Level 40 and l trophies are a bit more stern though. To reach Level 40 you'll need almost 385,000XP — yes, 385 thousand. For Level 50 you have to score about 2.4 million. Considering the tiny payouts in Sport Mode, information technology'south a long old slog.

There are ways to advance your XP count, only it's no easy ride. We judge that if you do nothing but the fastest method of scoring XP, it'll take you 56 hours of racing.
