The upcoming Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges, starting August 14, offer a thrilling lineup of events and rewards for players. This week's Special Event, a one-make race, features the Yangwang U9 '24 on the scenic Grand Valley - Highway 1, modeled after California's iconic Pacific Coast Highway. This is the electric hypercar's third appearance in Weekly Challenges since its introduction in April 2026, showcasing its versatility and performance. The race promises a challenging yet rewarding experience, with a win netting 95,000 credits. The event's popularity is evident, as it mirrors the payouts of other races, such as the Race of Turbo Sports Cars at Watkins Glen Long Course.
One of the most demanding challenges awaits at the World Touring Car 600, where drivers must navigate 12 laps on the Tokyo Expressway - East Clockwise, adhering to a 600PP cap and without nitrous oxide. The race's high tire wear and fuel consumption make pit strategy crucial, adding a layer of complexity. In contrast, the Japanese 4WD Challenge 600 at Kyoto Driving Park - Yamagiwa offers a shorter, two-lap sprint for professionally tuned 4WD Japanese road cars, rewarding players with 20,000 credits. The low-stakes Sunday Cup at Northern Isle Speedway provides a quick five-lap race for road cars, offering a modest 5,000 credits for the win.
Completing all five events within the week grants players a 6-Star Roulette Ticket (Car), a substantial reward. Additionally, Power Pack DLC owners can tackle a separate set of races with their own rewards, including Credit Tickets and 6-Star Roulette Tickets (Engine). The Weekly Challenges and Power Pack rewards will be available until midnight on Thursday, August 20, when a new batch of events and rewards will be unveiled.
This week's Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenges offer a diverse range of races, catering to various driving preferences and skill levels. Players can test their skills on iconic circuits, tackle challenging events, and earn valuable rewards, making it an exciting time for fans of the franchise.
