Gran Turismo 7 Day by day Races: Double Hassle
A new slate of three races is available for the next seven days in the Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, which are updated on a weekly basis. Notably, one circuit location appears twice in a single set of races, which is an unusual occurrence.
This week’s unusual double-entry starts in the standard one-make Race A at Suzuka Circuit. This week, you will be handling the first-generation Honda NSX Type R, a JDM classic.
Unfortunately, there won’t be much opportunity for you to stretch the legs of this lightweight special because the race is being held on Suzuka’s short East Short Course. The race consists of seven laps, and the NSXs are obliged to wear their slick Sports Hard tires.
This event has a False Start Check as usual. To avoid an instant power reduction that lasts for as long after the start as the amount by which you jumped it, you must keep the car on the brakes from the moment the final light turns on until it goes off to begin the race.
Your Driver Rating will remain unchanged regardless of the race’s outcome, which is another recurring characteristic. Updates to the Sportsmanship Rating are still enabled, though.
You’re taken to the renowned Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps for a thrilling three lap race in this week’s Race B.
This week, you will be racing Gr.4 vehicles that have Racing Hard tires on them. The race is open to any car in this GT4-like class, and early indications lean to more agile, mid-engined cuisine, even though the extended stretches of maximum throttle may suggest a Mazda 3-dominated field.
In contrast to previous weeks, the only tuning choices are the Brake Balance settings, which can be changed in Race B and Race C throughout the race.
We’re finally returning to Suzuka for the G3 cars’ massive Race C event. This season, there will be a 20-lap race on the entire Suzuka Circuit, which translates to more than 40 minutes of driving.
This race has an obligatory pit stop, so you will either have to make at least one trip down pit lane, whether you fill up your tires or not, or you will receive a one-minute penalty after the race. This also entails being aware of the pit entry and departure lines, which you will likewise be penalized three seconds for cutting.
This week’s relatively low levels of fuel consumption and tire wear (2x and 3x multiplier, respectively) may force you to decide when to pit, whether to give up a few seconds for the tire switch (Racing Medium is your only option), and whether you want to lose the slipstream.
To gain entry to the Daily Races, you must first unlock Sport Mode in the GT Cafe single player hub by finishing Menu Book 9 (“Championship: Tokyo Highway Parade”).
The next fresh set of GT7’s Daily Races should be available on Monday, February 19, as they have been updated every Monday throughout the game’s existence.
