GT7 Daily Races 16 September: Pit Strategy Battles

The GT7 Daily Races 16 September offers a huge amount of racing action. This week's trio of Sport Mode races feature two pit strategy battles and visit some of Gran Turismo 7's best tracks.

Oh, and you also get to race in one of the best JDM's ever made!

Race A

Watkins Glen - Short Course - 6 laps

The first race this week is six laps of the Watkins Glen Short Course in the awesome Nissan R34 GT-R V-spec II Nur '02. Every Skyline in this race will use the Sports Hard tyre, and there is 1x fuel consumption and tyre wear.

The 12-car field will use a grid start, so watch out for some turn 1 chaos.

Each car will use a mid-speed BoP with no further adjustments permitted. SR is on for this race, but DR is not tracking your performance so finishing last will not hurt your ranking as long as you keep it clean.

There is light mechanical damage in this race and light penalties for shortcuts. There are also penalties for collisions with other cars.

Race B

Brands Hatch - Indy - 10 laps

The next race sees players head to another classic, Brands Hatch. Here we will be doing 10 laps of the Indy Circuit in Gr.4 cars.

All cars will be on the Racing Hard tyre with 1x fuel consumption and tyre wear. The 16-car field will use a rolling start, so be sure to get a qualifying lap in and rolling starts produce much greater field spread than a grid start.

Every car will use a low-speed BoP, but players are able to make partial suspension and gearing changes, as well as adjust brake balance.

DR and SR are on for this race, and there is a mandatory pitstop. Since no other dry compound tyre is allowed it will just be onto the Racing Hards again, so players should complete their stop at the end of lap five.

There is light mechanical damage as well as light shortcut penalties. There are also penalties for collisions with other cars and for cutting the pitlane lines so be sure to stay on the correct side when entering and exiting the pits.

Race C

Deep Forest - Reverse - 14 laps

The final race this week is another pitstop battle as players do 14 laps around Deep Forest Reverse in Gr.3 cars.

In this one players must use both the Racing Hard and Racing Medium tyre and there is 2x fuel consumption and 7x tyre wear. The ideal strategy for this race is likely to be starting on the mediums and dropping them for the hards around lap 5 or 6 depending on how good you are at tyre preservation. It's also another 16-car rolling start, so be sure to get a qualifying lap in.

Each car will use a mid-speed BoP, but once again players are permitted to make partial suspension and gearing changes as well as full brake balance adjustments.

As expected, DR and SR are both on and tracking performance in this race. There is light mechanical damage and light shortcut penalties for this one. There are also light wall collision penalties, penalties for contact with other players, and pit lane line cutting penalties so be careful out there!
