As the clock strikes twelve on Friday, a fresh batch of weekly challenges for Gran Turismo 7 ushers in new thrills for players. This week’s lineup features one of the exciting events introduced in the latest update.
First emerged in Spec II back in November 2023, Weekly Challenges have remained a staple of the game, recently receiving a slight refresh with Spec III. These challenges are especially engaging for gamers who have already tackled the main Story Mode, as they come with five engaging tasks to complete throughout the week. Typically, four of these consist of exhilarating races drawn from various World Circuits, while the fifth is a unique Special Event crafted just for that particular week, allowing for races, missions, or time trials.
Players who successfully take part in these challenges can earn not only a cash reward from the races but also bonus prizes for their participation. This serves as an extra incentive to revisit some races they may have overlooked, with the potential to accumulate around 1.3 million credits over the week.
Weekly Challenges Roundup: February Week 4
Japanese FF Challenge 450 – Alsace
Kicking off this week’s events is a vibrant five-lap race at the Alsace Test Course, part of the Japanese FF Challenge 450. Players will need to utilize a front-wheel-drive Japanese road car, as suggested by the name. The “450” refers to the intended Performance Points (PP) for a competitive race—aim for victory to snag a commendable reward of 45,000 credits.
Special Event – Sardegna Road Course
This week features a time trial challenge at the Sardegna Road Course B Reverse, where players will navigate the first sector and a couple of corners. Your vehicle is predetermined as the Mazda Spirit Racing Roadster 12R, equipped with standard Sports Hard tires. Although the credit rewards are modest, you can earn a one-time payment of 60,000 credits simply by outperforming the gold benchmark, which is quite achievable.
American Clubman Cup 700 – Autodromo de Interlagos
Your next challenge awaits in the American Clubman Cup 700, also set for five laps, but at the famed Interlagos circuit. Here, players can choose any road or tuned vehicle, keeping within the 700PP guideline. Despite being a longer event with robust opponents, the reward for clinching victory is 68,000 credits.
Nissan GT-R Cup – Tokyo Expressway
This race permits any Nissan/Mine’s/NISMO GT-R road car, which should be tuned to respect the 700PP max limit. With four laps to navigate at the Tokyo Expressway East Clockwise, make sure your car excels on the straights for a shot at the 80,000 credit prize for first place. Don’t forget to consider brakes for the twists ahead!
World Touring Car 900 – Trial Mountain Circuit
Concluding the challenges is the premier World Touring Car 900 event, which pits you against Gr.2 cars on the revamped Trial Mountain Circuit across ten laps. You can select any vehicle within a 900PP limit, but keep an eye on tire wear and fuel through your strategy. Opting for a Gr.1 car could enhance your chances of clinching the top prize of 160,000 credits.
Players can look forward to increasing rewards as they complete the challenges during the week. While the base prize money for each event remains consistent, bonuses are awarded based on the number of events successfully completed. These gifts are dispatched to your Garage’s Gifts section, and players need to redeem them before the deadline to enjoy the rewards.
This week’s challenges revert to the regular structure after a few weeks of varied offerings. As a reminder, playing through various events will yield bonus items, including a 100,000 credit ticket for completing a single challenge, a 200,000 credit ticket for three challenges, and a 500,000 credit ticket for completing all five.
To access these Weekly Challenges, players must finish GT Cafe Menu Book 39 and watch the closing cinematic. Expect the next round of events to arrive at midnight local time on Friday, February 27.
