It’s that time of the week again. The latest selection of Gran Turismo 7 (GT7) daily races is live, much to the excitement of racers preparing to master another set of track and car combinations. Just like in previous weeks, there’s single-make track action alongside doses of Gr.3 and Gr.4 races across a mixture of real-world and fictional racing circuits.
As always, the meta has changed thanks to recent Balance of Performance (BoP) changes alongside the inclusion of mandatory pit stops, adding a layer of strategy into the mix. Here, find everything there is to know about this week’s daily races.
What Are The GT7 Daily Races?
Below is a closer look at the three daily races available in GT7 between April 7 and April 13:
Race A
- Tsukuba Circuit – 7 laps
- Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo
- Sports Medium Tires
- Rolling Start
Race B
- Watkins Glen Road Course – 5 laps
- Gr.3 cars
- Racing Medium Tires
- Rolling Start
- 1x Fuel Use / 1x Tire Wear
Race C
- Autodrome Lago Maggiore Full – 12 laps
- Gr.2 cars
- Racing Medium and Racing Soft Tires (Both compounds must be used)
- Rolling Start
- One Mandatory Pit Stop
- 1x Fuel Use / 2x Tire Wear
Race A celebrates Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital’s collaboration with Hideki Tanabe to build the GT1 body kit. The GT1 body kit first appeared in Gran Turismo 4 and has since become a mainstay of the real driving simulator. This one-make race is a seven-lap sprint around the twisting turns of Tsukuba. Sportsmanship Rating stays on while Driver Rating is switched off.
Race B heads to the USA with five laps of Watkins Glen. Any Gr.3 vehicles are eligible for this event but the most popular choice is the BMW M6. Medium Tires and no mandatory pit stops are guaranteed to make this race a favorite among racers.
The third and final race of the week is the longest, with 12 laps of the full Autodrome Lago Maggiore layout playing host to Gr. 2 cars. The GT500 variations of the Honda NSX, Lexus RC F, and the Nissan GT-R Nismo are the only picks available, but the Honda is the way to go thanks to its excellent tire wear. This race requires drivers to use a set of Racing Soft and Medium tires, as failing to do so will result in a one-minute post-race penalty.
Autodrome Lago Maggiore’s pit entrance and exit are also tricky to master, as it’s very easy to drift on either side of the white line. Be aware of the entrance and exit to avoid a three-second penalty that must be served within the penalty zone before the checkered flag flies.
