About

NSL

Features
Read full description

Night Shift League (NSL) is a private Gran Turismo 7 sim racing league. This app is the official cockpit for all registered NSL drivers, bundling league info and live telemetry in one place. IMPORTANT: This app only works for drivers registered on the official NSL Discord server. Without an active NSL registration, sign-in is not possible. FEATURES LIVE RACE TELEMETRY Connect your PlayStation to GT7 and see in real time: speed, RPM, gear, pedal input, tyre temperatures, fuel consumption & range, sector times, best lap, and the optimal lap calculated from your best sectors. The track map learns the circuit live, or shows a rotatable, zoomable 3D view colour-coded by elevation for calibrated tracks. VOICE ASSISTANT Have your telemetry read out loud while you drive, hands-free: automatically after every lap, or on demand by voice command ("Hey NSL, what are my tyre temperatures?"). Both modes can be enabled independently in Settings. SEASON STANDINGS Your class's current team standings, live from nsl.gg. CALENDAR Every race of the season with track details, fuel and time-rate settings, and hotlap videos to prepare. STREAMERS See at a glance who in the league is streaming live, with a direct link to Twitch/YouTube. DRIVER PROFILE Your career stats: races, points, wins, podiums, fastest laps - including an editable profile. TEAM STATS Your team's current points, standings position, and cars in use. STATS Six views into league history: fastest laps by season/class/track, real race results, all-time points and race leaderboards, average points per race, and every past champion. This app is developed by the Night Shift League community and is not an official product of Sony or Polyphony Digital. GT7 and PlayStation are trademarks of their respective owners.
