This week's three events feature Gr.2 cars at Suzuka and Gr.3s at Trial Mountain. However, the main attraction is likely the Gran Turismo World Series-style road car race, challenging drivers on the infamous Green Hell with highly modified vehicles.
For this one-lap Nurburgring Nordschleife race, you can choose from twelve road cars (actually eleven plus one concept car). But you can't just use any car from your garage. These twelve vehicles come with preset tunes for the event.
Each car is tuned to a 520-625PP (Performance Points) range, featuring both cosmetic and performance upgrades. They're all equipped with Racing Hard tires. Your options include:
- Chevrolet Corvette C7
- Ferrari F40
- Ford GT '06
- Honda NSX Type R
- Jaguar XJ220
- Lamborghini Diablo GT
- Lexus LFA
- Mazda RX-Vision
- Mercedes SLR McLaren
- Nissan Fairlady Z Z33
- Porsche 997 GT3
- Toyota Supra '97
One slight downside is that Driver Rating (DR) updates are turned off for this race, meaning you won't gain or lose DR. However, Sportsmanship Rating (SR) updates remain active, so there's still a risk of losing SR. Remember, if your SR drops too low, it can pull your DR down to a lower level.
Race B offers a straightforward four-lap sprint at Trial Mountain in Gr.3 cars. The only requirement is to use Racing Medium tires, so just get out there and have fun.
Race C ups the ante with a tactical element this week, featuring Gr.2 cars at Suzuka Circuit. It's an 11-lap race using your choice of Gr.2 category cars. As usual, the 2016 Super GT cars, particularly the NSX, are leading the pack. Expect a high-speed battle as you'll be using Racing Soft tires.
With tire wear set at 3x, making it like a 33-lap race for your tires, you'll need to pit for fresh rubber during the race. Even if you could stretch your tires, there's a mandatory pit stop. You must visit pit lane or face a one-minute penalty after the race.
You can pit anytime between the end of lap one and the start of lap 11. Be careful of the pit lane entry and exit lines - crossing either will earn you a three-second penalty.
Daily Races are the main ranked multiplayer events in GT7. Your Driver Rating (DR) and Sportsmanship Rating (SR) are based on your performance, updating after each race. These ratings determine your ranking and league for the game's main esports series each season.
To access Daily Races, you need to unlock Sport Mode by finishing Menu Book 9 ("Championship: Tokyo Highway Parade") in the GT Cafe single-player hub. You'll also need a PlayStation Plus subscription to take part.
GT7's Daily Races have updated every Monday throughout the game's life. The next new set should arrive on Monday, November 18.
