Today’s the day you can open the first door on your Advent calendar, and you’ll find an interesting selection of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races inside.

It’s now been confirmed that the bumper Gran Turismo 7 Spec III update will be arriving in the first week of December, exactly as we’ve been suspecting for a little while now.

Sim racing can be a pretty expensive hobby, especially in the current climate, so when the annual Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales come round there’s a decent chance to pick up some pricey gear with a healthy discount.

A brand-new set of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges is now available — or over the next few hours, depending on how west you live — in likely the final set before the switch-up brought about by the impending Spec III update.

A significant vehicle in the history of Gran Turismo is the star of this week’s new Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial, and it’s one that neatly ties together the only “Spec III” entries in the series.

Xbox and PC gamers look no further: if you’ve been on the outside looking in, waiting to take the plunge on The Crew Motorfest, there’s good news as Ivory Tower’s open-world racer is now available on Xbox Game Pass.

As the much-anticipated Gran Turismo 7 Spec III update comes ever closer, this week’s Daily Races serve as a reminder of some of the lesser-used content that’s already in the game.

Igor Fraga has scored his first ever win in the Super Formula series, taking victory during the rearranged final event at Suzuka in by far his most successful weekend of the season.

There’s likely only two more sets of Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges coming in their current form, so the latest suite of events that are available from Friday morning probably constitutes the penultimate offering.

One of the maddest Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial events we’ve ever seen is ready for players worldwide, and you’ve got two weeks to set the fastest time you can over a 19-second lap.

In somewhat of a surprise announcement, 2026 will be the first year without a new title in the long-running F1 series since 2009, with EA confirming that it is instead working on 2027 as the next full entry in the franchise.

An unusual pick-and-mix event awaits us in this week’s Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, along with the regular race car events that form the core of the game’s competitive online multiplayer mode.

I have had the privilege of attending most Gran Turismo live events over the past 15 years. While they are all unique, some stand apart more than others, and some set new standards for what the GT World Series can be. Last week’s event in Los Angeles was one of those occasions, and it’s worth taking a look at exactly what made it so exceptional.

We’re a matter of weeks away from a major change to the Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges, so the latest new set — getting underway as your local clock crosses into Friday morning — is one of the last under the current format.

A new Gran Turismo 7 Online Time Trial is now available, but you’ll be forgiven for thinking — in the words of Old Man Tannen — that there’s something very familiar about it.

A little unexpectedly, three days after the Gran Turismo World Series live event in Los Angeles, Sony and Polyphony Digital have announced a first-ever paid DLC pack for Gran Turismo 7.

Polyphony Digital has revealed more on its new Data Logger feature, heading into Gran Turismo 7 soon in the December “Spec III” update.

With us all coming down from the excitement of the weekend’s Gran Turismo World Series in Los Angeles, and a new Manufacturers Cup Exhibition Season about to get underway, there’s no better time for a fresh set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races.
