A new set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges goes live this Friday, November 13, as your console clock ticks past midnight (yes, that makes it Friday the 13th). The usual deal applies, with five events, seven days to clear them, and bonus tickets for getting them done.
If you’re new to the format, Weekly Challenges open up once you’ve finished the GT Cafe career through Menu Book 39 and watched the ending movie. Each set pairs four standard World Circuits races with one Special Event, and bonus reward tickets land in your Gifts at one, three, and five completions (redeem them before they expire). Add in clean race bonuses and a full set is worth roughly 1.3m credits in cash and prizes.
This Week’s Highlights
After five straight weeks of one-makes and time trials, including last week’s Ferrari F355 race, this week’s Special Event lets you bring your own car. It’s the Japanese FR Challenge 550, a nine-lap race at Tsukuba Circuit for professionally tuned, front-engine, rear-drive Japanese road cars. The 90,000cr win reward is the second-highest of the set, and we suspect plenty of garages already have something suitable.
It isn’t the only FR race on the card, either. The American FR Challenge 550 takes U.S. FR road cars to Trial Mountain Circuit Reverse for three laps and 56,000cr. If you like your engine up front and your driven wheels at the back, this is your week.
The headline payout is somewhere we wouldn’t have guessed. The World Rally Challenge Gr.B runs 12 laps of Eiger Nordwand Reverse for Gr.B cars on racing tires and pays 135,000cr. The same series turned up at Big Willow in the October 16 set for 65,000cr, so this is more than double the money for two extra laps. There’s a catch, of course. Fuel consumption is set to 14x and tire wear to 7x, and that fuel figure tops even the 12x at Brands Hatch two weeks ago, so pit strategy is very much in play.
The Vision Gran Turismo Trophy at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is four laps for Vision Gran Turismo cars up to 850PP and 80,000cr, which is as good an excuse as any to dust off whichever concept car has been sitting in your garage. The European Sunday Cup 400 at Circuit de Sainte-Croix B Reverse is the low point of the week at 48,000cr, but at two laps for European road cars it’s also the shortest event on the schedule.

There’s no set list of races to tick off. Finish (not win) any three events and the rewards are yours, on the same weekly refresh as the main challenges. The first two tiers match the standard completion tickets, while the three-race tier swaps the car roulette for a Six-Star Roulette Ticket (Engine).
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: Six-Star Roulette Ticket (Engine)
The set runs through midnight local time on Thursday, November 19, when the next batch of Weekly Challenges (and a fresh round of Power Pack rewards) arrives.
