While there will always be those players totally averse to ever going online - especially on consoles, where a fee is charged for the "privilege" - it's nevertheless fair to assume that a large number of Gran Turismo 7's players have at least tried the Sport multiplayer mode.

Sport mode is the racing simulator's ranked multiplayer lobby, and while any non-casual online play is going to immediately alienate the more casual-minded quarters of any fanbase, given the highly competitive and obsessive nature of the Gran Turismo fandom, it's reasonable to expect a huge amount of players playing at least one race, right?

Yet at present just 12.2% of players have finished a race in Sport mode, accounting for less than one-eighth of people who ever launched the game.

Considering that the Gran Turismo franchise tends to attract racing enthusiasts with a keenness to prove their skills online, it's shocking that actual uptake for ranked play has been so low, even accepting that the series also appeals to those craving more laid-back racing thrills.
