Gran Turismo 7 telemetry
Gran Turismo 7 broadcasts live telemetry from the PlayStation 5 over your home network. Nothing is installed on the console, no cable runs to the PC, and no capture card is involved. This page is what the game actually sends, what it never sends, and what quietly stops it from arriving.
What it takes
Three things, and none of them is hardware.
- 1Put the PS5 and the PC running Overcut Connector on the same local network.
- 2Enable the UDP telemetry option in the GT7 settings.
- 3Start Overcut Connector on the PC. It listens for the broadcast and detects GT7 automatically.
What GT7 sends
The console broadcasts more or less depending on the mode you are in. At minimum: speed, gear, RPM, pedals, position on track, suspension, tyre temperature and wheel speed per corner, fuel and lap times.
Outside Sport Mode it opens up: the car's movement through the world, the filtered pedal inputs, per-wheel torque, and at its widest the steering angle, the live lap time and the surface type under each wheel.
What GT7 does not send
Tyre pressure, wear and compound do not exist in the protocol. The only pressures on the wire are turbo boost and oil. If you see a GT7 tyre pressure anywhere, it is a model, not a sensor, and a computed number presented as telemetry is worse than no number at all.
Overcut labels every channel as measured, derived, or absent, and carries that label with the data instead of flattening everything into one list of numbers. When a value was computed, it says so.
One history, not two
Every other GT7 tool reads GT7 and nothing else. Overcut speaks one game-agnostic telemetry model, so a lap on the couch and a lap on the rig land in the same session list, get the same sector splits and the same corner-by-corner time attribution, and count towards the same progression. The analysis never asks which simulator produced the lap.
Where Overcut fits
If you only drive GT7 and you want a live dashboard on a second screen, there are free and open-source tools that do that well, and you should use one. Overcut is for the other case: the driver who also runs a PC simulator and is tired of keeping two histories, and the driver who wants to know which numbers came off the wire and which ones were computed.
Honest limits
The broadcast travels over your local network, so anything that separates the PS5 from the PC will silently swallow it: a router with wireless client isolation (sometimes called AP isolation or guest mode), a VPN running on the PC, or the two devices sitting on different subnets.
GT7 broadcasts your own car. There is no field for the rest of the grid, so the live standings tower is a feature of the simulators that publish one.
