"Learn when to brake and when to drive on each track. Watching the videos to learn the track's key features in great way to improve quickly!"
―GT Sport description (while selecting a challenge)

The Circuit Experience mode is a mode that allows the player to learn every course sector-by sector.

Gran Turismo Sport[]

The main menu of Circuit Experience in GT Sport.

The Circuit Experience mode in Gran Turismo Sport is accessible under Campaign menu in the game's main screen. Each featured track (whose maps are drawn to the same scale) has a series of dots appearing next to them, indicating awards won for each track's section. Each award can be received by meeting the required lap times in each section. Completing every challenge of a track unlocks a map decal in the Livery Editor (plain line for all-bronze, multiple lines for all-silver) as well as a random prize car for getting all-gold on a track. Due to continuously updating nature of the game, there are no prizes for completing all Circuit Experience challenges, except for the Globetrotter (for all-bronze) and Tactical King (for all-gold) trophies.

Circuit Experience challenges are done with Gr.3 cars only, with exception of certain short courses (Kyoto Driving Park - Miyabi, Willow Springs International Raceway: Streets of Willow and Horse Thief Mile, and Tsukuba Circuit) which use Gr.4 cars, dirt/rally tracks which use Gr.B cars, and Circuit de la Sarthe, which uses the Porsche 919 Hybrid (Porsche Team) '16, a Gr.1 car.

For newly added tracks, the track's Circuit Experience is typically added on the content update following the track's addition. This pattern was broken by the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca's Circuit Experience, which was added immediately following the track's inclusion; coincidentally, it ended up being the last track added to the game (as of January 2021).

List of Challenges[]

The only circuit location without a Circuit Experience is Special Stage Route X.

For number of sections, the number includes the final 1 Lap Attack challenge.

Completing a track's Circuit Experience originally not give the player any prizes, other than credits for each segment, however in version 1.11 credits for finishing a whole track were added, followed by bonuses for Quick/Custom Races in version 1.40. The general difficulty was also increased compared to the GT Sport's iteration.
