February 2026’s first set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races is now live, bringing three new events for players to tackle over the coming seven days.
It’s a fairly regular-looking line-up this week, comprising a one-make road car race and two events for the Gr.4 and Gr.3 cars in their usual order. We’ve also got a return to recent regulations, with Driver Racing (DR) and Sportsmanship Rating (SR) updates turned on in every race and a strategic scrap in Race C with some rather tight track limits…

Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races February 2: Race A
- Track: Trial Mountain – 5 laps
- Car: Nissan Z Performance ’23 – Garage/Specified Car
- Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (M)
- Tires: Sports Medium
- Settings: Specified
- Start Type: Rolling Start
- Mandatory Pit Stop: –
- Fuel Multiplier: 1x
- Tire Multiplier: 1x
After the chaos of last week’s mixed-surface event, we’ve got a return to normal and some familiar territory. You’ll need a Nissan Z Performance for this one with Sports Medium tires equipped, or you can of course borrow one in standard colorways with the correct rubber already fitted.
This one’s a quick, five-lap race around the GT7-updated Trial Mountain. If you’re familiar with the circuit from older games, the changes aren’t as drastic as some other courses — Grand Valley particularly — mostly consisting of an elongation of both straights and a different profile for the final chicane that necessitates a different approach.
There’s no other regulations of which you need to be particularly aware, so just get out and race!
Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races February 2: Race B
- Track: Fuji International Speedway – 6 laps
- Car: Gr.4 – Garage/Specified Car
- Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (M)
- Tires: Racing Hard
- Settings: Partially Allowed – Brake Balance
- Start Type: Rolling Start
- Mandatory Pit Stop: –
- Fuel Multiplier: 1x
- Tire Multiplier: 1x
More often than not, Race B is the most straightforward race of all and it’s no different this week. It’s just a regular, six-lap race around the Fuji International Speedway circuit for the Gr.4 cars.
Ordinarily, this group is a case of finding the fastest car on any particular circuit and grinding it all week, as the balance of performance (BOP) is a bit chaotic. That’s to be expected with a class featuring front-, rear-, and four-wheel drive cars, and classic and modern racers from disparate real-world classes, especially with a one-size-fits-all approach to BOP.
However we do have a bit of variety this week, and the race might tend in a different direction than free practice. Fuji’s long home straight tends to favor power cars, especially once slipstream takes effect in the race itself, so while the usual suspects — AWD cars and the Citroen GT by Citroen — are dominating the leaderboard there may be some alternatives. The new Elantra N TC doesn’t seem to get a look in.
Whatever car works best for you, it needs to be on the slippery Racing Hard tires for this race.
Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races February 2: Race C
- Track: Yas Marina Circuit – 12 laps
- Car: Gr.3 – Garage/Specified Car
- Power/Weight/PP Limit: BOP (M)
- Tires: Racing Medium†, Racing Soft†
- Settings: Partially Allowed – Brake Balance
- Start Type: Rolling Start
- Mandatory Pit Stop: –
- Fuel Multiplier: 3x
- Tire Multiplier: 4x
Tire strategy makes another appearance in this week’s Race C, a 12-lap run around Yas Marina in the Gr.3 cars with two different required grades of rubber. You’ll need to use a full set of each during the race, with free choice over when you do, or you’ll find a one-minute penalty attached to your final race time.
Make sure then that, if you’re using your own car, you have bought Racing Medium and Racing Soft tires for the race. The 4x tire wear multiplier means that the latter will degrade pretty quickly, and you should be aiming to complete about half the race on them. Extracting another lap might push them far enough that they’ll be slower than a lap on the Mediums, so it’s worth experimenting.
Exercise great caution with pitting too. Yas Marina has an awkward pit entry where it’s very easy to touch the solid white line on the left side and earn a three-second penalty. There’s also a unique pit exit which heads under the circuit and out on the opposite side at turn three; be careful not to cut to the right too soon or you’ll get another three-second penalty. Watch out for track limits generally too, as the strictest “Championship” settings are employed this week.
While the new Gr.4 car doesn’t seem that competitive in Race B, the same cannot be said for the new Gr.3 which appears to be almost the only choice if you want a race win — or even a podium. You’re just about required to use the 992 GT3 R for this one, although you may get away with something else in lower-tier lobbies.
Daily Races are the main ranked multiplayer events in Gran Turismo 7. Your DR and SR are determined by your performances, updating at the end of each race, and these are used to set your ranking and league for the game’s flagship esports series each season.
In order to access the Daily Races, you’ll need to unlock Sport Mode, by completing Menu Book 9 (“Championship: Tokyo Highway Parade”) in the GT Cafe single player hub. A PlayStation Plus subscription is required to take part.
With GT7’s Daily Races updating every Monday across the game’s life to date, the next new set should arrive on Monday, February 9.
