The upcoming Gran Turismo 7 Spec III update introduces the Polestar brand with an immediate competitive opportunity for players. A special online Time Trial event, the Polestar 5 Time Trial Challenge 2025, will feature the brand-new Polestar 5 electric sedan. Drivers will push this powerful 870hp vehicle to its limits around the tight and technical Brands Hatch Indy Circuit.
This event offers more than just bragging rights. The fastest eligible competitor will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2025 Gran Turismo World Series World Final, scheduled for December 20 and 21 in Fukuoka, Japan. This prize makes the challenge one of the most significant and rewarding in recent memory.
The Polestar Time Trial is noteworthy for two key reasons. First, it immediately integrates one of the eight new vehicles from the Spec III update into a high-stakes competitive environment. Second, it provides a clearer, earlier indication of when players can expect the update to go live. Previously, many assumed Spec III would launch in its traditional late-December slot. However, with this Time Trial offering a grand prize trip to the World Final, the update must arrive well before that December event.
Considering the logistics, the timeline becomes even more intriguing. Standard Time Trial events typically run for a minimum of two weeks. To accommodate the full event duration and still allow sufficient time to arrange the winner’s travel and accommodations, the Spec III update would likely need to launch in early December at the very latest. A late-November release would be more logical from a scheduling perspective, though Polestar has consistently pointed toward a December window for the update.
Further details about the event structure and the full scope of the VIP prize package are still forthcoming. These types of grand prizes often include a premium experience for the winner and a guest. As more information is released, the exact requirements and the complete prize breakdown will become clear.
