A new week brings a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three fresh events now live and running through next Monday. It’s a fairly standard week, with a one-make sprint, a Gr.3 middle distance, and a Gr.4 strategic finale, but the difficulty curve ramps up for Race C. Race A drops you into the Mercedes-AMG GT S around Tokyo Expressway East, and if that combination sounds like a recipe for chaos, that’s because it is. Four laps of the clockwise layout with twelve cars, unforgiving concrete on both sides, and precisely nowhere to go when someone ahead of you misjudges a braking zone. This one is almost entirely about slipstream management and staying out of trouble. Race B is the palate cleanser: Gr.3 around Deep Forest for six laps on Racing Mediums, a classic combo. The Porsche 992 GT3 R is a safe pick to be competitive, though Deep Forest’s elevation changes and blind crests tend to reward whatever you’re most comfortable with. Race C is where the week actually gets interesting. Eleven laps of Catalunya’s no-chicane GP layout in Gr.4, with 2x fuel, 4x tire wear, and mandatory use of both Racing Hard and Racing Medium compounds. There’s no minimum pit stop listed in the regulations, but with the compound rule in force you’ll be stopping at least once whether you like it or not. Fail to use both sets and you’re eating a penalty. The strategic question is when. Stopping early on the Mediums gets you onto fresher rubber ahead of the pack and into clean air, which can be worth a lot at a circuit where traffic in the final sector is punishing. Stopping late lets you attack on softer tires at the end, but risks losing time behind anyone who pitted before you.
