The Professional League contains the high difficulty events which require the IB, IA or S licenses from the Gran Turismo License Centre.
Overview[]
This league ramps up the difficulty quite a bit from the Amateur League; faster, more powerful cars are more prominent, races are typically 10-15 laps in length, tyre wear is enabled for every single event, trickier tracks appear more frequently, and some events will even feature opponents with performance upgrades.
The use of Racing tyres is a must in the Professional League since all races have tyre wear enabled, so make sure you have enough credits to afford them. A skilled player can also win certain races without even touching their car's performance (for example, one can win the 4WD Challenge in an unmodified rally car), though other events like Gran Turismo All Stars will require such modifications, due to going up against souped up opposition.
Some of the final races in the league will require player to obtain the S grade license before entering them, a feat that relatively difficult in and of itself. A key factor to some of these events is picking a most suitable car and tyres for them.
