Gran Turismo 7 Split-Screen Has a Serious Problem

gamerant.com:

Gran Turismo 7 launched earlier this month to mostly positive reviews, with many hailing the simulation racing game as a return to form for the franchise. While it seems racing game fans have mostly enjoyed Gran Turismo 7, the game is certainly not without its problems. And it seems one of its most bizarre issues revolves around its 2-player split-screen multiplayer races.

Gran Turismo 7 deserves some credit for including a split-screen option when it seems the vast majority of games have left local multiplayer behind. But unfortunately for those who want to enjoy split-screen races, it appears as though Gran Turismo 7's split-screen is completely busted. For some strange reason that we were unable to figure out, it seems that Gran Turismo 7 makes it so the second player is pretty much always slower than the first player. This means it is virtually impossible for them to win a race unless the first player loses on purpose.

While testing Gran Turismo 7 split-screen, Game Rant had both players use the exact same cars. Despite both holding in R2 for the same amount of time, the first player was able to hit speeds of 90 miles per hour and more much faster than the second player. Another test was done where the second player used a Gran Turismo 7 car with a higher overall PP rating than the car that the first player used, but the results were the same. Remapping the PS5 DualSense controls so that a face button is acceleration does not fix the problem, so it's clearly not an issue of faulty controllers.

There are various posts about that issue on social media, though it's unclear if this problem is impacting every single person that has played Gran Turismo
