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 the unique one: the KTM X-BOW R ’12 against ten laps of Tsukuba Circuit. Tsukuba’s lap is short and tight, and that plays right into the X-BOW’s hands as a light, focused little roadster built for exactly this kind of quick, technical layout. Expect it to eat up the circuit in a hurry.
Race B keeps things straightforward, with Gr.3 cars head to Trial Mountain Circuit for six laps on Racing Hard tires. BOP is set to Mid Speed and brake balance is the only tuning option on the table.
Race C is the one worth a second look. Gr.2 machinery takes on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya’s GP layout, the version that includes the chicane. It’s also the week’s only race with any real strategy attached. Fuel consumption is tripled and tire wear is quadrupled over the 13 laps, and Racing Medium and Racing Soft are both mandatory, guaranteeing at least one pit stop.
Races A and B stick to the default 1x multipliers with no pit stops required, so Race C is where the week’s actual management decisions live.
