A new week brings a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three fresh events now live and running through next Monday.
The headline this week is Race C, which takes Gr.4 to Kyoto Driving Park’s Yamagiwa Reverse layout for a 15-lap race with some strategic depth. Tire wear is cranked up to 4x and fuel consumption sits at 3x, and you’ll need to run both Racing Soft and Racing Medium compounds at some point during the race — meaning at least one pit stop is effectively mandatory even though the regulations don’t technically require one.
The question is when you switch and which compound you start on. Racing Softs will give you pace but won’t last long at 4x wear, so most players will likely open on the softer rubber, push hard, and switch to Mediums for a longer second stint. How long you can make the Softs last before they fall off a cliff will probably define your race. And, of course it’s Gr.4, so the usual balance caveats apply.
Race A puts everyone in the Aston Martin Valkyrie for three laps of Le Mans. It’s fitting to put such a hypercar on the Mulsanne, and with tire wear and fuel both at 1x over just three laps, this race is about pure pace. Settings are locked, so it’s the same car for everyone and nothing to fiddle with. If you don’t own the Valkyrie you can borrow one, which is just as well given the price tag.
Race B is a Gr.3 sprint at Brands Hatch on the Grand Prix layout, with six laps on Racing Hard tires. It’s a short, sharp race where track knowledge will matter more than strategy, and Brands Hatch is the kind of circuit that rewards commitment through the elevation changes and blind crests. Gr.3 is generally well-balanced enough that you’ll see variety on the grid, though the usual frontrunners will emerge quickly once the week’s meta settles. BOP is Low-speed here, and you’ve got brake balance to play with if you want to fine-tune your setup.
