A new set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges goes live this Friday, June 5, when your console clock ticks past midnight. Five events, seven days to clear them, and the usual stack of bonus tickets waiting for anyone who works through the list.
For anyone new to the format, Weekly Challenges open up once you’ve finished the GT Cafe career through Menu Book 39 and the ending movie. Each week’s set is four standard World Circuits races plus one Special Event, with reward tickets handed out at one, three, and five completions. The tickets land in your Gifts and need to be redeemed before they expire. Clear the full set with clean race bonuses and there’s around 1.3m credits in cash and prizes on the table.
This Week’s Highlights
The Special Event is kind of the odd one this week.
GT7 hands you the Renault Captur S Edition ’21 for a one-make race at Tsukuba Circuit, which is not a pairing anyone likely had on their bingo card. A French crossover at a tight Japanese road course is unexpected, but it has a couple of things going for it. It’s only four laps, so even if the Captur isn’t your idea of a good time, you’re in and out quickly. And slower cars tend to be a lot of fun around Tsukuba’s short, flowing layout. The win pays 40,000cr.
The big money sits with the Neo-Classic Competition at Fuji Speedway, a 10-lap run for 800PP cars built between 1980 and 1999. At 168,000cr for the win it’s the richest event of the week, and it’s also the one experienced racers will get the most out of: fuel runs at 10x and tire wear at 8x, so a strong result is as much about managing the car as it is about outright pace. From there the rewards step down through the Nissan GT-R Cup at Circuit de Sainte-Croix (a three-lap, 700PP race worth 94,000cr) and the World Touring Car 600 at the Nürburgring GP circuit (five laps, 80,000cr).
The low point on paper is the Japanese FF Challenge 450 at Suzuka’s East Course, a three-lap event that pays a measly 7,000cr for the win. Worth pointing out, though: it’s also the easiest box to tick, and clearing your first event of the week hands over a 100,000cr Credit Ticket. So that opening race is really worth 107,000cr once the ticket drops.
