A new week brings a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three fresh events now live and running through next Monday.
Race A is going to be the fun one this week. It’s the Honda Integra Type R (DC2) ’98 on Comfort Softs around Suzuka, with three laps from a grid start. On paper, it’s a tidy little combo with classic appeal. In practice, Comfort Softs and a standing start at a circuit famous for its first-corner mistakes is an invitation for chaos in lower-ranked lobbies. Expect dive bombs into Turn 1, expect contact, and expect Race A to fill up anyway, because the Integra at Suzuka is the kind of pairing people will sign up for regardless.
Race B drops Gr.4 onto Deep Forest Raceway for five laps on Racing Hards, rolling start, brake balance the only setting open. Not much in the way of strategy, just a quick blast through the trees.
Race C is the longest event of the week at 11 laps of Watkins Glen’s Long Course in Gr.3 cars, with a 2x fuel multiplier and 5x tire wear. Both Racing Hard and Racing Soft tires are required, so even without a mandatory stop, you’re making one to swap compounds. The Long Course has plenty of long sweeping corners where Gr.3’s downforce should do real work, which makes this one of the more interesting combinations on offer this week.
