The latest set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges is starting to become available on consoles around the world, going live as your local clocks pass into the morning of Friday, September 25.
Weekly Challenges are a bonus game mode, opening up once you’ve finished the GT Cafe career through Menu Book 39 and watched the ending movie. Each set comprises four races from the World Circuits roster, with a fifth “Special” event created just for the week.
You’ll need to finish on the podium to check each race off, and doing so in one, three, and all five of them will award you bonus prizes via tickets delivered into your Gifts (which you’ll need to redeem before they expire). All totted up, with the race rewards included, an average week’s set awards you around 1.3m credits for between 30 and 60 minutes’ effort.
This Week’s Highlights
Our Special Event for the week brings back the Caterhams for a one-make race over six laps at Autodrome Lago Maggiore East Reverse. Your rivals are only visually upgraded, so this one can be done in a stock car for a healthy 105,000cr reward.
That’s not the biggest payout this week, which goes to the World Touring Car 800 at Monza. This ten-lap race, requiring cars up to 800PP and fitted with Racing-grade tires, lands you 147,000cr if you win, but you’ll need to contend with 7x multipliers for fuel consumption and tire wear.
There isn’t really a low-paying race this week, with even the most miserly being a 27,000cr reward for two laps of the Streets of Willow Springs Reverse course in the Sunday Cup for road cars of any type. Five laps of Interlagos in the American Clubman Cup 700 seems like it should be worth more than 68,000cr though, especially given the outlay for a road or “Professionally Tuned” car (or upgrades) to match the front-running muscle.
A fun little blast in the Lightweight K Cup awaits in the last race. It’s six laps of Eiger Nordwand in Kei cars with Comfort Soft tires — note the increased 450PP limit that came in with the most-recent update — with 75,000cr available for victory.
We’re back to nothing but cash for this week’s completion rewards, with the top prize returning to a 500,000cr credit ticket.

Gran Turismo 7 Power Pack Challenge – September 25 Rewards
Power Pack DLC owners get their own parallel reward track alongside the standard Weekly Challenges, as they do every week.
There’s no fixed list of races to work through. Finish (there’s no need to win, or even place well) any three events and all three rewards are yours, and they reset on the same weekly schedule as the main set.
This week’s rewards trio is identical to the main event, so it’s all plain and simple credits this week.
Our original coverage of the GT7 Power Pack has the full rundown if you need a refresher on what’s inside.
- 1 Race Completed: 100,000cr Credit Ticket
- 2 Races Completed: 200,000cr Credit Ticket
- 3 Races Completed: 500,000cr Credit Ticket
The set runs through 2359 local time on Thursday, October 25, when the next batch of Weekly Challenges (and a fresh round of Power Pack rewards) arrives as your console’s clock hits midnight.
