Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races 21 October: Double Duty

This week's Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races are all about the Nurburgring. Polyphony is sending us to the iconic venue twice, using the shortest and longest layouts to test drivers skill and determination.

Sandwiched in between these Germanic races is a trip to Watkins Glen to cleanse the palate.

Race A

The first race this week takes drivers to the Nurburgring for eight laps in Gr.2 cars around the shorter sprint layout of the race track. It's an odd layout for these seasoned racers, but will still provide plenty of action.

Each player will use the Racing Soft tyre for maximum grip, and there is only 1x fuel consumption and tyre wear so there's nothing to worry about in that regard.

Every car will use a mid-speed BoP, with only brake balance adjustments permitted. DR is switched off for this race, so the result will not impact your ranking there. However, SR is still on so causing crashes will affect your safety rating.

There is light mechanical damage and light shortcut penalties. There are also penalties for collisions with other cars.

Race B

The second race takes us across the pond to Watkins Glen for six laps of the long course in Gr.1 cars. Everyone will use the Racing Medium tyre, and there's no fuel or tyre wear consideration in this race.

Once again every car will use a mid-speed BoP, with only brake balance adjustments allowed. Both DR and SR are on for this race.

There is light mechanical damage and light shortcut penalties. There are also penalties for collisions with other cars.

Race C

The final race is a big one, three laps of the full Nurburgring 24h in Gr.3 cars with +600% rewards. This race doesn't have any additional tyre or fuel component, and no pitstops either, so it is three long, hard laps of battling.

Everyone will be on the Racing Hard tyre, and with no need to stop or any added wear, it will last without a problem.

A high-speed BoP will be put on every car, which is great for the back straight but may make things trickier in other sections. As usual, only brake balance changes are allowed.

Both DR and SR are tracking your performance in this race. There is only light mechanical damage and light shortcut penalties, with other penalties for collisions so keep it clean on the narrow roads of the Nordschleife.
