Your Guide to Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, Featuring May 2: Boxing Match
Two boxer-powered sports cars go head-to-head in the main race of this week’s ranked online racing playlist in Gran Turismo 7.
This week’s playlist Gran Turismo 7 Ranked Online Races, in Sport mode, highlights some of the new cars recently added in the version 1.13 update.
Specifically, Race A, which sees the new Subaru BRZ take on the GR86 brothers. For race B, if you bought the new GT300 race BRZ, you can also put it to good use.
Both cars use a unique horizontally opposed boxer engine configuration, and in the case of the Gr.3 model, a giant “Proud of BOXER” badge is part of its livery. It’s just a shame that in this Balance of Performance formula week, there’s no flat action in the C race…
STROKE A
The boxing match that lends itself to the title of this article, you can either opt for the red corner (Toyota) or the blue corner (Subaru).
Either way, you’ll get equal performance from a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car, using bits from the Subaru global platform underneath.
For a car not known for its breakneck speed, but rather for its poise, the choice of track is a bit odd. You might be thinking Brands Hatch or Tskubua, but no – Suzuka is waiting for you, which means this five-lap race lasts 15 minutes.
Recommended car: Subaru BRZ S ’21 or Toyota GR86 RZ ’21 (Brand Central, 33,500 credits, 32,670 Credits or free rental)
STROKE B
The pace takes on a dramatic configuration for the second race. Also 15 minutes long, the Autódromo José Carlos Pace aka Interlagos, will host six laps in any Gr.3 of your choice.
Thanks to the recent game update, this also means that you don’t need to own the recommended vehicle either, as it will be available for a free race loan. Practice.
There is also no fastest car in this race, which shows that the BoP works well on this circuit.
You can go for the Volkswagen Beetle Gr.3, Subaru WRX Gr.3, Ford Mustang Gr.3 or Hyundai Genesis Gr.3 and get a win. But, when there is a rotary engine option, we will always take it. A Mazda RX_VISION GT3 CONCEPT for us, please.
It will also easily deafen the opposition.
Recommended Car: Mazda RX_VISION GT3 CONCEPT (Brand Central, 450,000 Credits or free rental)
STROKE C
The longest, strategy-focused race takes place this week at Fuji International Speedway. This joins the car category, Gr.2, which is largely made up of SUPER GT competition machines.
The real-world event at the same location also takes place this week on Tuesday and Wednesday, a traditional Golden Week fixture.
You can use the Racing: Soft tire, but the Racing: Medium compound is needed at some point in the race.
The 2016-spec Nissan is dominant here, under the view of Mount Fuji. It’s the right car if you want to win.
But… you can also rent the McLaren F1 GTR, finish last and have more fun. The choice is yours.
Recommended car: Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500 ’16 (Brand Central, 800,000 credits or free rental)
