Gran Turismo 7’s Michelin Alpin Challenge returns and it’s snow joke

Excuse the terrible pun, but Michelin’s snow-based Alpin Challenge in Gran Turismo 7 is set for its second annual running this Friday 18th of October.

Players are tasked with setting the fastest lap time around the fictional Lake Louise Long Track, which is based in the wintry Rocky Mountains, using the Gr.B Hyundai Genesis Rally Car.

The fastest player will win a VIP experience at the Gran Turismo World Series 2024 World Finals in Amsterdam, which takes place on the 7th and 8th of December. Entrants must be over the age of 18 and be from a select group of European countries/territories (see below).

The Michelin Alpin Challenge will begin on Friday 18th of October and run until Thursday, 31st of October 2024. It can be entered from the Online Time Trials menu, accessed via the Sport pavilion on the game’s World Map.
