GT Sport Daily Races: Roadster Endurance and Super GT by the Sea

GT Sport’s three Daily Races recreate a bit of a classic for you this week, along with a bit of a pace injection for speed fiends.

The first race is a battle of the FWD race cars. Race A takes you to Tokyo Expressway, and the fast East Outer Loop, for a head-to-head (to head-to-head) between the four Gr.4 racers: Audi TT Cup, Peugeot RCZ, Renault Sport Megane, and Volkswagen Scirocco. You’ll have three laps of full-throttle action, with plenty of wheelspin from the grid start. Fortunately it’s the dry version of the track…

Race B heads to GT Sport’s best-loved original track at launch. Dragon Trail Seaside will host an unusual round of Super GT, as you’ll pick from the six Gr.2 race cars — or more likely from the three 2016 Gr.2 race cars — for a five lap shootout. Are you feeling brave enough to take the Chicane of Death at flat chat?

However it’s Race C where you’ll find the fond memories. This plays host to an absolute classic Gran Turismo race: the Roadster Endurance. It’s a little shorter in GT Sport, but you’ll be treading 15 laps of the Tsukuba Circuit in a fourth-generation Mazda Roadster (also known as Miata and MX-5). Watch out for that high tire wear multiplier, and the grid start with false start check.

All three races will run through to Monday, October 21, when we’ll get a new set of three for the week.
