Have one controller for every person racing. The manual requires an individual controller per player but does not specify a single controller model that applies to both console generations. GT7 online manual

Start a local split-screen race

  1. Connect a controller for each player and launch GT7. From the Multiplayer area, select Split-Screen Races. The manual documents the setup from that screen but does not specify the exact menu steps leading to it.
  2. Have Player 1 configure the race: choose the number of laps and start type, then select the cars, track, layout and conditions.
  3. When the setup is ready, select Start Race.

These setup controls are described in the GT7 online manual.

Choose a car for each player

Players can use a rental car provided for split-screen racing or a car from their Garage, provided it has been added to Favourites beforehand. To favourite a Garage car, open the Garage’s Change Car screen and press Triangle. The manual also says the pre-race Quick Menu includes Change Grid Order if you want to adjust the starting order.

What to know if setup options are unclear

  • The documented route is through Multiplayer and Split-Screen Races; the manual does not give a more detailed preceding menu path.
  • The official sources cited here do not establish whether local split-screen requires PlayStation Plus or a progression unlock, so do not assume either is required.

For the broader feature description and supported editions, see Gran Turismo 7’s official product information.
