There are no rewards for completing all the events.

It’s completely separated from the core solo career. Admittedly, GT7's Music Rally is a short-term novelty at best.Īdmittedly, GT7’s Music Rally is a short-term novelty at best. I’m willing to wager that Venn diagram crosses over in Polyphony Digital’s office and approximately nowhere else. However, let’s be realistic: how many Gran Turismo enthusiasts are also fans of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Louis Clark’s early-1980s disco remixes of classical music? Enough to warrant a quarter of the Music Rally events? Somehow, I doubt that. I’m not about to get into a George Gershwin versus Garbage debate here. Of course, as with anything, music is subjective. To be clear, the problem with Music Rally isn’t the vintage of the cars. Pop quiz: what's older? The car or the music? Or, at least, as fast as you can in the pre-selected vehicles – most of which come from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. In reality, truly succeeding in Music Rally doesn’t really accommodate such a leisurely approach meeting the gold cup distances requires aggressive and rapid driving. In the lead-up to GT7’s release, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi described Music Rally as a low-stakes mode geared towards beginners – particularly children – and designed to allow players to enjoy a relaxed drive to music. You start with an allocation of beats, depending on the tempo of the song, and passing through checkpoints on track will keep them topped up until the music ends. Music Rally, for those of you who haven’t played GT7, is essentially a series of distance trials challenging drivers to travel as far as possible before the associated song ends.

What’s unfortunate, however, is that the mode hasn’t really gotten any better.
