Gran Turismo 7 Guide – How To Increase Collector Level Quickly

If there’s one thing that Polyphony Digital wants to reinforce in Gran Turismo 7, it’s the practice of collecting cars. As such, there’s an actual Car Collector Level which denotes your progress in collecting everything. But how do you increase Collector Level?

Each time a new car is acquired, every 1000 Credits spent equals one Collector Point. So spending 10,000 Credits on a car will net 10 Collector Points. Earn enough points and you level up, which can unlock several different rewards. Check out some of them below.

To quickly raise your Collector Level, go through the World Circuit events and acquire cars. You can also complete the GT Cafe Menu Books since their Roulette Tickets have a chance at awarding cars. Then there’s the License Tests, like International B License Test which awards the GR Supra Race Car ’19. More than anything, earning cars from activities allows for saving Credits (head here for tips on farming currency). You’ll need all the currency you can get when it comes to shopping for the remaining vehicles in Brand Central and the Legend Cars showroom.
