GT7 Online Time Trial: Aston Martin DB11 '16 at Interlagos (2 July 2026)

The new Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial goes live on 2 July 2026 and runs for the usual two weeks, ending on 16 July 2026. This round is a one-make, the Aston Martin DB11 '16 on Sports Medium tyres around Autódromo de Interlagos, and the early pace is already brutal.

If you've been grinding the last few Time Trials, Interlagos will feel familiar. It's a short, flowing 4.31 km lap with 15 corners, and the leaderboard times already suggest this one is going to separate the patient drivers from the rest.

Aston Martin DB11 '16 at Interlagos: What to Expect

The current world-best is sitting at 1:38.949, which is committed pace for a circuit with this much elevation and this many flowing corners. Based on how Polyphony usually sets the cut-offs, I'd expect the gold target to land somewhere in the 1:41.4 to 1:41.7 range.

Here's the thing about this combo: it's a one-make, so there's no car choice to chase. Everyone's in the Aston Martin DB11, which makes the whole Time Trial about driving rather than meta-hunting. The DB11 is a big, heavy GT car with a lot of power, so it's more of a handful than it looks, and on Sports Mediums the grip window is narrow enough that you'll feel every clumsy input.

Final Thoughts

The Aston Martin DB11 '16 at Interlagos looks like a proper grinder, fast, technical, and unforgiving in the wrong places. Being a one-make makes it a pure test of driving, which is always a nice change from chasing the Gr.3 meta. The 1:38.949 already on the board is strong, and I'd expect the WR to drop a few tenths by the end of week one.

Let us know what you think about this combination. It looks like it could be a very interesting one.
