Gran Turismo 7 Day by day Races: Mac and Me

With some fresh combinations running throughout the next seven days, a new set of three Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races is now accessible with every new week.

This week, we’re going back to our usual schedule of one-make events in Race A and Gr. 3 and Gr. 4 cars in the other two races, with a small site change.

Players’ Driver Ratings in Race A will remain secure once more, but the “No DR/SR” structure will have an impact on their Sportsmanship Rating. You should bear that in mind because, if you’re not careful, the race might be an SR sink or, if you sacrifice a respectable finish, a nice method to farm points.

This week’s race vehicle is the McLaren 650S, the third vehicle produced by the company following the MP4-12C, which it is based on, and the P1 hybrid hypercar. And no, the F1 isn’t relevant because it was produced by a different McLaren subsidiary; McLaren Automotive was founded in 2010.

The action takes place at the Road Track B layout, which is reminiscent of Estoril, at Sardegna, a fictional racetrack modeled after the Mediterranean island of Sardinia. The race consists of six laps, and the McLaren is running rather dubious Sports Hard tires.

You must be aware that there is a Grid Start with a False Start Check. This essentially means that if you jump the start, you will immediately and temporarily lose engine power. After all of the lights have turned on, maintain the vehicle’s position by using the handbrake.

Race B is being held at Autodrome Lago Maggiore, which is effectively the opposite location of Race A and Race B from the previous week. You will be racing on the entire GP circuit this time, though, and you can choose any car from the Gr.4 class.

This week’s race is a four-lap dash around the course, and while Racing Hard tires are essential, you will have some car setup freedom. In addition to Brake Balance, which can even be changed mid-race, as we have seen frequently in recent months, there are four other suspension sections of the car that are adjustable.

This means you can adjust the spring natural frequency values, the anti roll bar, and the dampers on the compression and expansion sides. To find the best methods for this, it’s a good idea to visit GTPlanet’s GT7 Car Tuning forum.

With the same suspension components set to be adjustable, you will have the same freedom on the Gr.3 cars for Race C at Fuji International Speedway. However, this race will mostly be a test of who has read the regulations.

This is due to the fact that this week there is a pit stop requirement, which is based on regulations rather than common sense. Even with a 5x wear rate multiplier, your Racing Medium tires won’t wear down much over the course of this 11-lap race, but you must make a pit stop.

You can take it at any point during the race; changing tires or filling up with fuel won’t be necessary this week. All you have to do is make one trip through pit lane, so there’s no sneaking in at the end of lap 11 or, if you’re very far down the grid, before you cross the starting line.

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, November 20, as they have been updated every Monday throughout the game’s existence.
