Gran Turismo Platinum Trophy
Acquired all Gran Turismo 7 trophies!
Living Your Car Life
Started the first menu.
No easier way of starting a game than loading up the first menu, congratulations, your Trophy unlocks when you load up the game.
Student of Motoring History
Completed the first car collecting menu.
A new feature to Gran Turismo is the car collection menu, this is found by accessing GT Café mode from the main menu. In here you can find different sets of challenges known as the car collection menu, this tasks you with 3 cars to collect and complete that set car collection menu. With that done you’re given a reward and more importantly your Trophy will also unlock.
Moving on Up
Moved up five or more positions in a single lap.
This requires at least 5 drivers to be in front of you and can easily be done at the start of career mode as in some of the earlier events the AI will be slow so you will get this naturally. You could also when you have a much more powerful car re enter an early career mode event and race against the same slow cars you did at the start. This is another Trophy you will unlock through natural progression.
Clean Racer
Completed a race without leaving the track or any collisions.
This can be done at any time and in any race but is probably best done early on in career mode, start any race and drive around the circuit being mindful to not touch the grass and keep away from the AI. Speed is not the objective here so go as slow as is needed and complete each lap of the race having a leisurely drive then once you cross the finish line having not left the track or had any collisions your Trophy will then unlock.
By a Whisker
Won a race with a lead of 0.5 seconds or less.
This can happen during any race like a online sport mode race where 1st and 2nd place finishes will be very close or in any career mode race. The best way to get this is to get into the lead of any race then on the last lap let the pack catch back up to you, now get your car in the way of second place and let them run up hitting you and push you over the finish line. This results in the smallest possible margin of victory and will unlock your Trophy once successful.
By a Country Mile
Won with a lead of 10 seconds or more, in a race of at least two laps.
Another trophy that can happen naturally but also can be done quite easily. As you play through career mode you will unlock cars through winning races or race series or completing a car collection menu. These rewards can gift you with a much more powerful car than what you will encounter at the start of your career. So enter an early career race like the Sunday cup where you will easily be able to get more than 10 seconds ahead of the competition over a 2 lap race where your Trophy will unlock once you meet the requirements.
No Assistance Required!
Completed a race without any assist settings.
In a race menu you have the ability to alter the setup of the car and this includes assists like traction control, stability manager, anti lock brakes and even automatic transmission. Turn all these to off or to zero and then enter the race, once you cross the finish line with all these assists turned off your Trophy will then unlock.
New Treads
Took a pitstop during a race and changed your tires.
Nearly every track in the game has a pit lane and the ability to perform a pit stop so enter the pits and change the tires then once you exit the pits your Trophy will then unlock.
The First Step to Mastery
Completed a track (all sectors) in Circuit Experience.
See Circuit Master for more information.
Circuit Apprentice
Completed five tracks (all sectors) in Circuit Experience.
See Circuit Master for more information.
Circuit Master
Completed 15 tracks (all sectors) in Circuit Experience.
In circuit experiences you will have to complete individual sectors of a race circuit in the game before finally completing a 1 lap time trial, getting all these to good rating is deemed mastering a circuit. This teaches you all the ins and outs like racing lines and clipping the ideal apex point to maximise your speed and braking points for each of the circuits. As each circuit in the game has a different length it also has a different number of sectors to master so aim at completing as many of the shorter ones as you can. Once you do have 15 at gold level your Trophy will then unlock.
Done in 60 Seconds
Drove a lap of the Tsukuba Circuit in under one minute.
Tsukuba circuit has a length of just over 2 miles and consists of 11 corners and the 60 seconds time limit could pose a challenge depending on which car you decide to use. So play through career until you get yourself a handful of faster road cars or a racing car and you should beat this time with ease.
Formula First Timer
Drove a Formula car.
The only Formula car in the game is the Gran Turismo F1500T-A which is based around a 1980’s f1 car. This can be done without spending any credits all you need to do with a reach the s license and drive the test S-7 to unlock your Trophy.

Starting off with the national B license you need to work your way up to the Super license, this is probably one of the last trophies you will get in GT7 so drive each test and use your good times to learn where you can brake later into a corner or accelerate faster out of a corner.

Getting all gold licenses doesn’t give you a Rain License. Not sure what does.
You don’t need to earn gold for circuit master. Bronze works just fine.
Rain Licence is bugged. Will be fixed in an upcoming update
It has just been fixed, so enter one of the licenses that you have done already (if you already completed all licenses) and crash straight into a wall and exit and you’ll get the trophy.
Exactly that.
See the Rain Royalty trophy if you need further information.
No Assistance Required trophy – Change the assist setup to expert. You can keep automatic transmission on.
Hey dude
Nice find it should help people who don’t like manual gears 🥇
Do a drag race 10 seconds and it’s done very easy 😜✌🏻
Also for the 100 time trials there I a little miniature oval track tracks about 16/17 seconds per lap you can do all 100 here in 1 go no need to back out ✌🏻🤓
Online trophies seem glitched too (in a good way) I’d say I’ve done 20, 25 absolute max and it reckons I’ve done 48 but got trophy for 50 🤷🏻♂️🤣 also got the first of the online mileage trophies offline whilst driving round the 18 mile loop. I’d certainly say try work on the online ones first if your not a fan get em out of way especially while they seem glitchy barely did half I reckon.
Ending movie triggers from beating all 39 cafe menus. Easiest car to buy 10 of is the kart at 10000 credits. You get the F1 trophy from one of the super license tests without ever actually spending credits to buy one. You can get the run out of fuel trophy quickly from one of the early missions that requires you to monitor your fuel since the car stays off with a near empty tank.
Hey dude
Thanks for your feedback on the guide, your valued comments will help others get these trophies done 🥇🥇
You do not need to quit back to the menu for time attacker. You can just go to the isle with something fast like the tomahawk and do 100 laps in 15 minutes.
Ah nicely done. Always good to get another way to get the job done🥇.
There’s a cheaper BMW electric car and a cheaper Renault safety car.
Hey dude
Thanks for your information, I have updated the descriptions accordingly and it will help others save some vital credits in the game 👍
I believe the license (all gold) is now bugged (or extremely difficult) after patch 1.06 as you are now given road tires for the dirt course license tests. apparently devs are aware.
Hey dude
You are correct the 1.06 patch messed up all the dirt license tests and hopefully we get a patch sharpish to correct all these new issues that have arisen 🥇
I can verify that the Porsche 919 and the Audi R18 aren’t part of the 3 legendary cars. I have them both along with the Ford Mark IV and I still don’t have the trophy.
Wheely Good Fun
Bought 10 sets of wheels.
Choose the tuning shop and then wheels, now buy 10 sets of wheels in order to unlock your Trophy.
Wrong info! It´s not the tuning shop, it´s ´GT Auto´ where you need to buy 10 sets of wheels.
I was having issues with some GT Auto and Tuning related trophies (e.g., Toughening Up, Squeaky Clean, Wheely Good Fun)
Doing this fixed it for me:
When in the game go into Options>Global>Network>Delete Temporary Data.
I then closed my game and reopened. I did 6 washes and the trophy popped, 1 body rigidity upgrade trophy popped and bought 3 wheels and trophy popped. So it seems it remembered up to a certain point of progression I had done before it became bugged.
Hope this helps anyone having issues.
The three legendary cars should be the cars you purchase from legendary dealer. So that mean R18 and 919 is not included. For now, I can say GT40 MARK IV, Jag XJ13, Ferrari 330 P4, Mazda 787B, Porsche 917K are what you should be looking for.
Remember: This trophy only counts the car you can only get from legend car dealer, so any thing that can be bought from market is not what you are looking for. THIS IS NOT BUG. You just have to wait for them to show up. This is a long shot.
Three Legendary Cars should include the Mercedes Benz W194 also. It won Le Man in 1952 and is for sale in the legendary store atm for 11million credits
I saw that as well. Still have to wonder how vague the description is regarding these cars. We don’t know if there’s a specific 3 cars, or 3 cars we can select from a list of several actual winners. Can’t help but wonder if PD is dragging this out so that people will continue to purchase the cars (microtransactions) in the Legendary dealership in hopes of achieving this trophy.
