A new week brings a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three fresh events now live and running through next Monday. Noteworthy this week is Race A’s choice of car: the Wicked Fabrication GT 51, an in-game name that takes a moment to unpack.
The car is the 2016 GT Awards winner, Bruce Levens’ 1951 Ford Coupe, built by Chad Wick of Wicked Fabrication. It debuted at SEMA in Las Vegas with hand-formed body panels, a gold powder-coated 1956 Lincoln V8 by engine builder Ron Shaver, and one-off Halibrand-cast wheels copied from a 1930s Novi Indycar. After nearly a decade in the queue, it finally arrived in GT7, and now it’s a one-make field of twelve at Trial Mountain for four laps on Sports Hards.
Race B moves to Gr.3 around the Yamagiwa layout at Kyoto Driving Park for five laps, with sixteen cars on the grid. Yamagiwa is curb-heavy, and Gr.3 cars don’t always like using them, so be careful out there.
Race C is the long one: eleven laps of Spa-Francorchamps in Gr.1, with 2x fuel, 5x tire wear, and sixteen cars. GT7’s Gr.1 is a bit all over the map and the cars can be difficult to drive, but you should find Spa’s mix of long straights and high-speed sweepers a good match.
