Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges: Honda First Day of Christmas…

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.

Weekly Challenges are a bonus game mode, made available once you’ve finished the main GT Cafe career, and currently offering a selection of five World Circuits races for you to tackle. Four of them are existing events, with a fifth “Special Event” created just for the week.

You’ll earn additional rewards, alongside the credits for your finishing positions in each race, with more lucrative gifts the more you complete within the seven-day window.

Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges – November Week 4 Races

Japanese FF Challenge 450 – Sardegna Road Track

This week’s lowest prize comes in the Japanese FF Challenge 450 event at the short Sardegna Road Track C course. As the name suggests, you’re going to need a front-wheel drive road car from Japan for this one, but the “450” part of the name is just a suggested Performance Point (PP) value for a competitive race with the leaders and not a limitation. You’ll earn 25,000cr for winning this quick three-lapper.

American Clubman Cup 700 – Laguna Seca

Despite a serious spike in race length and car performance, you don’t get much more by way of earnings for the American Clubman Cup 700 race at Laguna Seca. It’s a five-lap race, offering just 30,000cr for victory, even though it’s now suggested you use a 700PP car for a fair fight. That’s not mandatory, so you can use whatever you want in any state of tune, so long as it’s a Road or Tuned car from the USA.

World Rally Challenge Gr.B – Colorado Springs

Rally is back, after a week away, with a World Rally Challenge Gr.B event at Colorado Springs. You can use any of the Gr.B cars in the game, so long as they are fitted with — obviously — Dirt tires for this five-lap race around the Colorado loop, with a 65,000cr windfall awaiting you if you win.

Special Event – Watkins Glen Long Course

Two six-figure reward races await this week, beginning with the Special Event. It’s another one-make race for the Honda RA272 F1 car from the 1960s, with the AI all decked-out in period-correct rival liveries. They’re not tuned above stock though, so it’s a five-lap race that you should be able to win with your own standard model, for a 100,000cr prize.

World Touring Car 900 – Suzuka Circuit

We’re back to the regular WTC event to round things off, and it’s the turn of the WTC900 this week. This one’s an event for cars of any kind up to 900PP; your fastest rivals will be Gr.2 cars, if you want to compare notes. It’s a ten-lap run around Suzuka with some relatively high tire wear and fuel consumption multipliers — eight times standard rate — so you can do well if you manage it and stay out of the pits. The prize for victory is a cool 170,000cr.

The Weekly Challenges bonus rewards come in the form of tickets, which you will need to redeem from your Garage’s Gifts to claim the prizes within. This week, and for the second successive week, it’s a full set of credit tickets.

If you play these events regularly you’ll know what to expect here: a 100,000cr ticket for completing any one event, a 200,000cr ticket for polishing off any three, and the 500,000cr ticket for sweeping the lot.

You’ll need to have completed GT Cafe Menu Book 39 and watched the ending movie in order to have access to the Weekly Challenges. The events update at midnight local time on Friday mornings, so we’d expect the next set — and with a new look — on the morning of Friday December 5.
