The Brand Central Experience feature was introduced in Gran Turismo 7 update 1.72 (Spec IV Part 1). These manufacturer-specific driving challenges offer a way to experience selected cars on different circuits, including a final exam for each brand.
Only four manufacturers offer Brand Central Experiences in this update: Hyundai, Polestar, Xiaomi and Yangwang. You do not need to search every manufacturer in Brand Central: this guide lists all four locations and all 20 challenges, including the car used for each event.
Where to Find Brand Central Experiences
- From the World Map, open Brand Central.
- Select the relevant manufacturer: Hyundai, Polestar, Xiaomi or Yangwang.
- Open the manufacturer’s Experience section.
- Choose one of the available driving challenges. The fifth challenge is the Final Exam, which may initially be locked.
GIOK90 Tip: Looking for these challenges under the regular Circuit Experience menu? They are a separate feature. Open Brand Central → Manufacturer → Experience instead.
