Get ready for an exciting week of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races! We're diving into a fresh set of ranked online multiplayer races, offering a thrilling challenge for the next seven days. This week, we're back to a familiar lineup, a welcome change from last week's unusual twist.
For the seasoned players, you know the drill: a one-make road car race to start, followed by the Gr.4 race, and wrapping up with the Gr.3 cars. Let's dive into the details and uncover some strategies to dominate the tracks!
Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races: February 16th

Race A is a blast from the past with the classic Volkswagen Golf GTI. Picture a Midnight Club-style race, where you navigate the tight turns of Tokyo Expressway in the dark. It's all about maintaining momentum with this not-so-powerful hot hatchback.
Borrow a car if needed, and remember, the loaner comes with the required Comfort Medium tires. This fully ranked race will update your Driver Rating and Sportsmanship Rating, so bring your A-game!
Race B: Gr.4 Sprint
Track: Dragon Trail Gardens - 5 laps
Car: Gr.4 - Garage/Specified Car
Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (M)
Tires: Racing Hard
Settings: Partially Allowed - Brake Balance
Start Type: Rolling Start
Mandatory Pit Stop: None
Fuel Multiplier: 1x
Tire Multiplier: 1x
The Gr.4 cars take center stage in this sprint race. With various drivetrain types, the balancing act can be tricky, but that's part of the fun! This week's race is on the fictional Dragon Trail Gardens circuit, a traction-friendly course with three slow corners.
The all-wheel drive cars are back in the spotlight, and many top players are opting for the Atenza. Whatever your choice, Racing Hard tires are a must, as the slippery rubber emphasizes the need for traction. It's a straightforward sprint, so once you've got your car ready, it's go-time!
Race C: Laguna Seca Challenge
Track: Laguna Seca - 14 laps
Car: Gr.3 - Garage/Specified Car
Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (L)
Tires: Racing Medium
Settings: Specified
Start Type: Rolling Start
Mandatory Pit Stop: 1
Fuel Multiplier: 3x
Tire Multiplier: 6x
Last week's Race C had a busy set of regulations, but this week, we've got a more straightforward Gr.3 event. Keep in mind that you'll need to make a pit stop during the race.
Laguna Seca is the stage for this 14-lap battle, making it a unique week with races on three different continents. The recent addition of the 992-generation 911 GT3 R has shaken up the Gr.3 class, and it, along with the nimble BRZ GT300, has become a popular choice.
You'll only need Racing Medium tires this week, but the 6x tire wear multiplier means your tires will take a beating. Consider a tire refresh to avoid running on mostly red tires for the last few laps.
Failing to take the mandatory pit stop will result in a one-minute penalty, and watch out for the solid line at pit entry, as crossing it will incur a three-second on-track penalty.
Daily Races are the main ranked multiplayer events in Gran Turismo 7, and your performances here determine your DR and SR, which in turn set your ranking and league for the game's esports series. To access these races, you'll need to unlock Sport Mode by completing Menu Book 9 in the GT Cafe single-player hub. A PlayStation Plus subscription is also required.
Mark your calendars, as the next set of Daily Races will arrive on Monday, February 23rd. Stay tuned for more updates and strategies to dominate the tracks!
