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 most peculiar wrinkle this week is bolted to Race B, which carries a “Reward Increased +1000%” bonus. In other words, the credit payouts here are far higher than a normal Daily Race.
Expect these lobbies to be busy as players pile in chasing the incentive, and don’t be surprised to see even more aggressive driving than usual down in the lower-ranked rooms.
The good news is that it’s a solid combination on its own merits: five laps of the Tokyo Expressway South layout (running counterclockwise) in Gr.3 machinery on Racing Mediums. BOP is set to (H), it’s a rolling start, and brake balance is the only setting left open. Payout aside, you should have fun with it.
Race A is the timely one. It takes you to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on its full GP layout without the chicane, the same week the real circuit hosted its Formula 1 grand prix where Lewis Hamilton took his first race victory in a Ferrari.
You’ll be going quite a bit slower here in the Alpine A110 ’17, a featherweight French coupe that rewards momentum rather than muscle, but you’ll arguably be having more fun with it. It’s five laps, a rolling start on Sports Mediums, with BOP (M) and settings specified.
Race C is the week’s endurance-flavored closer: 15 laps of Sardegna’s Road Track B in Gr.4 cars. The multipliers do the heavy lifting, with fuel use doubled (2x) and tire wear cranked up to 4x, and there’s a single mandatory pit stop to factor in. BOP sits at (L), the tires are Racing Hards, and brake balance is again the only open setting off a rolling start.
