Getting started

You need a PS5 or PS4 running Gran Turismo 7, and a Windows PC or Mac on the same network. There is nothing to set up on the console: GT7 broadcasts what it is doing over your network automatically, and GT Coach listens for it.

1. Download GT Coach for Windows or macOS and install it.
2. Sign in with Discord. If you have a referral code, choose Have a referral code? first: it unlocks 2 extra weeks of Pro.
3. Launch GT7 on your console.
4. Pick an event: this week’s are on the home and in the sidebar, and All events has every past one too. If the event has more than one target lap, choose the one to chase.
5. Press START PRACTICE at the top right. On the home, CONTINUE PRACTICE picks up the event you drove last.
6. The app shows Ready when you are, with how to load the event in GT7, and waits for you to go on track.

Match what the app shows

Ready when you are lists what to match in GT7: where to go, the track, the car, the setup and the tyres. For this week’s events, GT7 applies the setup itself. For a past event, it tells you whether to turn BoP on or off, and the power and weight to tune the car to when GT7 has rebalanced it since the lap. See Matching the car’s BoP.

Once you are on track, the coach checks the track, the car and the setup, and each row shows Match or what is different. It checks again each time you go on track. The tyres are listed but not checked, because GT7 does not say which ones you fitted.

Before you drive

It’s best to start the practice before starting the race in GT7 instead of starting the practice mid-lap. That way, GT Coach can coach you right from the beginning. You can restart your current race within GT7: GT Coach automatically detects a new stint. Exiting the race from within GT7 ends your current practice in GT Coach and saves your progress.

If the Start button will not let you start

If the top of the app says GT7 not connected, GT Coach cannot hear your console. See Console not connecting.

The button says	What it means
WARMING UP…	The coaching voice is loading. Your first launch downloads it, so it takes longer than later ones.
CHECKING COMPATIBILITY	The app is checking your version can coach. It only takes a moment.
UPDATE REQUIRED	Your app version is too old. Install the current one from gtcoach.app.
VOICE UNAVAILABLE	The audio backend could not start, and coaching would be silent. See the troubleshooting steps in Voice unavailable.
OLD TELEMETRY FORMAT	Your console sends data the coach cannot use. See Old telemetry format.
